"So the part where CONGRESS DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE MONEY means nothing to you?"

If you were not being such a smart ass I would be calling you an idiot right now.

Congress authorized the money with the proviso that Dept of State said everything is hunky dory.

Congress abdicated. They could have declined to authorize the money, or stated which conditions would cause them to vote to authorize the money.

Instead the gave the money to a drunk and a liar, telling him to spend it only on food.

What a nasty reply without backing up your claim.

From the article:

Congress has restricted and, in fact, halted military aid to Egypt until and “unless the State Department certifies that Egypt is making progress on basic freedoms and human rights.”

...

Nevertheless, the news breaking now is that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will soon announce that President Obama will “resume funding for Egypt’s military, despite Congressional restrictions and objections from human rights and democracy advocates.”

So, where is the "certification" from the State Dept. that meets the Congressional requirement?
