US Senator John McCain has slammed President Barack Obama for his handling of the crisis in Egypt.
McCain said Obama's way of handling the crisis has left the United States with no credibility in the Middle East.

McCain said that the Obama administration's reluctance to take action against Egypt was part of a pattern of botched Middle East policies, including failing to stem the bloody civil war in Syria or curtail Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, the report added.
