State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told Matt Lee of the Associated Press Tuesday that the U.S. had “determined that we do not need to make a determination” over whether or not the ousting of Mohamed Morsi in Egypt was a coup.

Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) called it a coup Tuesday, but the Obama administration has deliberately avoided using the word:

LEE: In response to the first question about Senator McCain’s comments, you gave — you said, our position has not changed, as you just did with Morsi. On McCain’s comments, though, our position has not changed — then you said the U.S. government has stated what our position is. Could you remind us all of what your position actually is? Because as I recall, your position was that you don’t have a position, and that’s not quite — is that correct?

PSAKI: Matt, I think you know our position, which is that –

LEE: I — tell me.

PSAKI: There was a determination made that we need to — not need to make a designation.

LEE: So then — so your position is that you do not have a position, correct?

PSAKI: Our position is that we do not need to make a designation. Mmm hmm — oh, go ahead, Nicolas (sp).

Q: Yeah, does Deputy Secretary Burns plan to meet with President Morsi? We talked about it yesterday, but –

PSAKI: I don’t have any other plans for that on his schedule.

LEE: Can I just go back to your answer to my question?

PSAKI: Yes.

LEE: You do understand that you don’t have a position on this, don’t you?

PSAKI: We have not made a determination –

LEE: But don’t — you go and say, our position has not changed, but you don’t have a position. You don’t have a position that could — a position means taking a side or taking a stance or making a determination. And since you didn’t do that, you do not, by definition, have a position.

PSAKI: We have –

LEE: Correct?

PSAKI: I would disagree with you, Matt.

LEE: You have a position on whether what happened in Egypt was a coup?

PSAKI: We have determined that we do not need to make a determination.

LEE: Isn’t that the same as not having a position?

PSAKI: I will — I will let you parse yourself.

LEE: OK.

Lee has often found himself befuddled at Psaki’s answers since she took over spokesperson duties at the State Department.

I am glad, I saw this dope in action !!

Wasn't she the same one that claimed SOS Kerry was at the helm making all the decisions when the COUP was happening .......

Only later to have to retract HER LIE when photos of Kerry on his boat all day in Nantucket surface by CBS !!

WHAT A LYING POS ........no wonder 'We Have Determined That We Do Not Need to Make a Determination' !!

No wonder, Obama's foreign policy is that HE HAS NO FOREIGN POLICY !!

Shes another classless political hack. Someone needs to rid the state dept of classless political hacks, but then there would be no one left to keep the lunch room/cafe in business.
