July 14, 2012 - "US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi share a laugh at the Presidential Palace in Cairo on Saturday.

Since when does “debt relief” mean more hand-outs? It usually means that a country that is trying to repay its debts to us have forgiveness of part of that debt.

If Obama and Hilary want to help fund the Muslim Brotherhood, let them send their own money. Not one dime of money we have to borrow from China on our children and grandchildren’s credit card should go to those who will try to kill them.

Bless you Rep. Granger. Good to know there’s at least one patriot in the House.

Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas [Appropriations subcommittee chairwoman on foreign operations] "I have placed a hold on these funds.”

B. Hussein Obummer can just issue an executive order to block the block and give his Muslim Brothers the half billion. With Barry in charge, no extortion demands would be unpaid, regardless of any Congressional block. Geithner can just print it without any accountability. Resistance is futile.

"The Obama administration’s plan to transfer $450 million in cash to Egypt ... "

Color me stoopid, but I thought there is no "cash", and that all transactions these days are administrative computer strokes.

And if it's true about the cash ... what form is it?

Dollars?

Gold?

And how do you transport this stuff ... airplane?

Boat?

Transmolecular alchemy ?

[MayflowerMadam]

Once again, it’s a woman who shows strength. Our GOP men are castrati.

The U.S. should transfer those funds. Egypt needs the cash. They have a debilitating shortage of cross beams they use for crucifixions. This money can alleviate that pressure.

[HollyB]

They shouldn’t get another cent.

This is what Egypt is about now:
