The Obama administration issued a quiet warning to Egypt on Thursday using diplomatic and veiled language: Quit arresting members of the Muslim Brotherhood, or the United States will freeze up aid.

Muslim-Brotherhood-backed Mohammed Morsi was toppled from his presidency by Egypt’s military on July 3. Since, Muslim Brotherhood members have been rallying in Cairo, calling for his return to office.

The Egyptians have had enough of Obama’s interference.

They tried the MB experiment and it failed miserably.

They’ll get along fine enough without another cent of US money.

You just have to laugh at the guy.
Here he’s threatening with withdrawal of US aid
cause they are cleaning house and they’ve just
received how many billions from Saud?
The efforts of this farce of a president are
pathetic. I cringe when I read the news because
I know other Americans are going to have to pay
a stiff price for his floundering.

We now know exactly where the Democrat money is coming from.

We have one political party which is funded by, and follows the foreign policy dictates of, radical Islamists.

In the meantime, they are allowed to follow their socialist impulse on domestic policy.

LOL. No such warnings when the MB was killing Christians and burning down their churches and arresting political opponents.

Dateline October 15, 2019

The Egyptian-born terrorist who was responsible for the attack on New York that killed 17,000 people had been arrested in Cairo by the interim military government in 2013. But he was released at the insistence of the Obama Administration.

And, Egypt, remember that Islamists still alive in prison are a constant justification for their allies to commit terrorist acts to try to get them out. You know what to do (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Also note, a cutoff of military aid to Egypt voids the Israeli/Egypt peace agreement from Jimmy Carter days. That means Egypt’s logic regarding what will then be a deteriorating military capability would be to launch an attack NOW against Israel to prevent having to fight Israel with a degraded military later.

Good thinking Zero.

I read elsewhere that they are going to charge Morsi with treason. It sounds to me like they are going to go after the Brotherhood and bury them. Damned well about time! Seems like now is a great time to return the Blind Sheik?
