Events in the Middle East are moving too fast for the Obama administration to think it can get away with Plan A and Plan B reaction strategies according to the regimes or leaders it wants to keep in and out of power.

#3  From the Wall Street Journal this evening:

The Obama administration Friday threatened to cut off its $1.5 billion in annual aid to Egypt if its security forces continue to use violence to crush the protests. That marked a sharp shift in tone from the White House, which even Thursday took a softer line of calling for restraint from the government and protesters.
