U.S. to halt Egypt aid after coup, turmoil
CNN ^ | Oct 8, 2013 | Jjim Sciutto

The United States will cut off aid to Egypt in the wake of the July coup against President Mohamed Morsy and the turmoil that has followed, a U.S. official said Tuesday.

The Obama administration withheld some military aid to Egypt in August.

The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the full suspension has been prompted by an "accumulation of events," including recent violence against protesters, dozens of whom were killed over the weekend.

Now that the Muslim Brotherhood lost power, Obama stops aid to Egypt... more evidence showing whose side he is no, and it's not on the side of Israel and peace...

I bet we’re still sending taxpayer’s money overseas (foreign aid) - that’s not stopping.

Clearly Obama's objective is weapons & aid for Al Qaeda.

What would happen to the POS's political career if we had a truly objective news media...

Egypt: More than 50 killed as Muslim Brotherhood protest on October war anniversary

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/egypt-more-than-50-killed-as-muslim-brotherhood-protest-on-october-war-anniversary-8862676.html

“At least 51 people were killed when supporters of toppled President Mohamed Morsi used the revered anniversary of Egypt’s last war with Israel to stage one of their biggest protests since the state-led summer crackdowns against the country’s Islamists.

Tens of thousands of protesters marched through central Cairo to demand the reinstatement of Mr Morsi, triggering clashes with both the police and rival demonstrators who turned out to celebrate the military.”

BINGO!!!!! Team Barry must've found out that nearly all of the Muslim Brotherhood's bank accounts have been seized by the good guys. No way for King Barry to get the money to the bad guys.

Also, I want proof that the Blind Sheik is STILL in U.S. custody. Anyone?

Good.
We simply can’t continue to borrow money from the Chinese
to give it away to someone else.

MB = al Qaeda and Nazis.

THE USA is supporting al Qaeda and the Nazis.
Fits right in with supporting al Qaeda in Syria,
and and al Qaeda in Libya
culminating in the the Clinton-Huma MANPAD xfer
and the White House’s Ambassador rape-tape.

The aid has been shown to be trivial and not required. The cyanide strings kill

The plague that is the naive Obama will pass

The ineligible POTUS is actively engaged in using AMERICAN taxpayer dollars to establish a new musselman caliphate.

Impeachable yes, but he understands the fatal flaw in the US Constitution

A political class unwilling to police itself for fear of losing individual office means an usurper is free to do his damage without fear of reprisal.

If he undermines the military, that region is up for grabs in short order.

Obama is failed Carter policy on steroids.

Carter destabilized the area around Iran. Obama will have the whole Middle-East and Northern Africa bubbling over by the time he leaves office.

What a ginormous ass-hat this guy is.

He thinks he’s the smartest guy in any room he enters. He is dangerously ignorant.

Putin has been waiting for the moment to move back into Egypt as their protector. This is it!

There can be no doubt that Obama is reacting as a child because the Muslim Brotherhood has been outlawed in Egypt. Those are his boys - the ME, that is!!
