Egyptians see Obama-Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy

NY Times:

As Egyptians Ignore Curfew, Talk of a U.S.-Brotherhood Conspiracy

Among supporters of the military, which ousted Mohamed Morsi, there is a widespread view that the United States and the Muslim Brotherhood have a plan to destroy Egypt.
The Egyptians should not confuse the administration's incompetence on foreign policy with a conspiracy.   Obama has surrounded himself with advisers who thought they needed to get along with the Muslim Brotherhood in the name of Middle East peace.  They were clearly misguided in that effort and they ignored several warning signs that the Muslim Brotherhood was not our friend.  Since the general uprising these same people have been pushing the army to include the Muslim Brotherhood in a new government on the mistaken belief that it could help avoid a conflict.

In the meantime the Muslim Brotherhood made the mistake of opening fire on the army giving that institution an excuse to return fire and to eliminate them politically.  Why didn't the administration analyst see that coming?
