"wereid your comments intended to highlight the broader, even strategic impact of discrete actions undertaken by national security agency's everyday and their impact on the global standing and leadership." >> what we say matters and when our words and actions don't match, the credibility of the united states is at stake. i think in the context of egypt, our promotion of democracy in the region has been severely damaged by our hesitation to call a coup a coup. i certainly think, and sure you would agree, as you try to build a democracy in a country that has not experienced it before, what is the better foundation on which to begin democracy? is it an election? is it an election of a president who is governing nearly come and not expansively, or is it a military coup? i would argue t

crowley. gentlemen, thanks for joining us. let's first explain to people.dent obama comes out and announces they are canceling what had been huge military exercises next month with the egyptian military. secretary brooks, please tell people what does this mean when the president announces the cancellation of this? how significant is it? >> well, it's very symbolic. it's very public. it's certainly pushing back on the generals in egypt and egyptian military. i mean, it's the least he could have done considering the situation there in egypt. i don't think he would have been -- would have received a lot of criticism for allowing american troops to train with the egyptians considering what's going on in the streets of cairo, alexandria and other places, but in the long run, it's really not much at all in terms of influencing the egyptian generals and i would submit that it won't affect -- they don't really care. they have plenty going on. >> what if we take away the money? >> that's another issue and i think the president missed that opportunity when he decided

crowley and michael crowley and washington post diplomatic correspondent ann biernan. thank you all for being here. p.j., i want to start with you and this announcement by president obama that washington is canceling the joint military operations. how significant is that decision? does it carry any weight whatsoever? >> i'm sure it will be heard loud and clear by the egyptian military. how they respond to that, we'll have to see. i think the administration's challenge right now is not only what message it sends to the egyptian military, of course the president again decided not to tinker with the existing military assistance, but also what message do you send to the muslim brotherhood. do they have a mounting list of grievances. of course, the policy objective is to return to inclusive democracy. the real challenge over the next several weeks is how do you entice the muslim brotherhood that's been the victim of a coup and violence back into the political process. the end result is stronger than what was overthrown six months ago. >> michael, they've refused to call the

with us is michael crowley. michael, it's great to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> i'm going to get right to it. where's the president? >> well, he was keeping a safe distance. for several months john kerry was trying to pull these talks together. he traveled to the region six times. obama was hanging back not saying much about it. he put a little bit of his stamp on things when the talks commenced this week and obama showed up and he met with negotiators, did photo ops and i think it was a sign that was probably necessary because people were saying, where is the president? is john kerry freelancing? did he say, kerry, you go off and give it a try and let me know if it's going somewhere? i think people in the region were wondering how invested the president is. obama's said i'm paying attention. this is important to me. but it still remains to be seen whether he's going to really stick his neck out, take any political risk, try to put anything specific on the table that could come back and bite him. that w

michael crowley is a senior correspondent for "time" magazine. michael, i love this stuff.nk "hardball" watchers love this stuff. others might be thinking, oh, it's just too soon. what is the importance of the early jockeying? >> well, you know, on some level it's not that important. a lot of the people who get early attention and applause at these things don't end up going anywhere. we'll recall how michele bachmann won the straw poll last time around. but there are these invisible primaries under way. particularly i think the most interesting one right now is the jockeying to be. there is clearly going to be, you know, a modern establishment candidate, a romneyesque candidate. it might be someone like chris christie. and there are a lot of people who want to fill the role of the more tea party libertarian hard-core take no prisoners conservative candidate. so i think what is happening right now to a large degree within the party is jockeying, you know, for instance including cruz and rand paul to be that more conservative alternative. but this is all still very nebulous.

joining me, my own little kitchen cabinet, richard crowley and spider marks. i'm going to pretend you are the secretary of state and you are the secretary of defense. in our own little cabinet meeting what would you advise the president? a senior white house told me discussions about cancelling bright star, the joint military operations, those discussions began in june, about the time obama cancelled the delivery of four f-16 fighter planes to egypt in way of putting pressure on the military. is that move, suspension of the planes and joint military exercises, will that be enough to convince the egypt government, quote unquote, the egypt military, they need to change their actions? >> we're dealing with decisions made by egyptians and mistakes made by egyptians. the united states has limited influence. i do think cancelling the bright star exercise is a strong statement. that may well be heard by the egyptian military. the real dilemma for the united states is what kind of message do you send to the muslim brotherhood, which is now outside the political proces
