I suspect that the muslim brotherhood will get the money (along with the trademark deep bow.)

Is there any way for Congress to stop this?

I guess I should be sleeping more soundly with the thought we have equipped Egypt with some of our best military hardware with that 1.7B aid package they were getting for the past few decades. Just thinking about that material in the hands of a bunch of fanatics sends me over the top. This makes those F-14 we had sent to Iran before their over throw look like peanuts.

I have never been so disgusted in our presidency than I have been over the past 107 weeks. This jerk has completely erased what a dunder head Carter was. Carter was incompetent, this guy is not, he knows exactly what he is doing. When is the Congress going to do its duty and remove him.

I would support direct food aid

And every single piece of packaging should have the words, "Given to you by the people of the United States of America", in English and in Arabic....maybe "Generously given to you ..."

Not a chance...0bama is going to position this aid as necesary because it would "insure that we keep Egypt from Islamic influences". I don't think its going to but thats just my opinion.

Screw that! There’s NOTHING worth my hard earned tax dollars going towards this.

The Muslim Butt-brotherhood isn’t going to be bought off anyway. There’s no ROI. No business case. Barry should be impeached.

You know whats crazy about this is that the media is going to say that aid to Egypt is cheaper than a war (in reference to the war with Iraq)...and that will probably work with most Americans. But one thing most folks don't realize is that there would have been no reason to go to war with Egypt. They weren't a threat to the US, our allies, Isreal or world peace. But that fact will soon be forgotten.

On the bright side, we gave Israel all the best stuff. And, unlike us, they have the will to use it if it comes to that.

This is crazy! We are in bad financial straits and these clowns are talking about sending American tax payers money to protesters in Egypt. Some have no scruples and would do anything to gain an advantage in 2012. We have people in this country dying of starvation and from lack of adequate medical services, and Obama and the Democrats are deciding for us to send money to people in another country?

Let’s hope enough intelligent people are watching to make this bode badly for the devious Democrats.

I don’t want to see another Masada over there...they are completely out maned and perhaps equally supplied. I’ve been saying this is not going to be a conventional confrontation, it is going Nuke early and often. Once that box is opened in this environment, there will be a terrible outcome for the entire world.

They are asking for 100,000 more rounds for their 1000 M-1 tanks and 10,000 GPS guided bombs for their f-16’s.

So. Will this be Ezekiel 38 & 39? If so, it does not look too good for Iran, Egypt and the rest of the Muslim countries, not good at all.
