Obama Inc Threatens to Cut Military Aid to Egypt if Morsi is Overthrown
Front Page ^ | 7/2/13 | Daniel Greenfield

Kerry and Co. have been insisting that we have to keep plowing money into Morsi’s Brotherhood regime because it’s in America’s national security interests. Those claims never held much water and they hold even less water now that unnamed Obama officials are warning the military that if it takes power, it will face a loss of that same military aid.

U.S. officials said Washington has suggested to Morsi that he call early elections, though they underlined they were demanding specific steps — and they said they had underlined to Egypt’s military that a coup would have consequences for U.S. aid. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

Somehow I have to believe Putin would be absolutely delighted to step in and reestablish the “special” relationship that his Soviets predecessors once had with Egypt. Way to go, Obama. Forty years of successful American diplomacy down the tubes with this idle threat.

Yes, he got it. He got it for doing nothing. He’s an expert in nothing so they thought he deserved it.

How about tried for treason with the sentence carried out at high noon broadcasted live on all the MSM networks. Karma...pure karma.

Idiot lefties don’t know what side to be on until somebody tells them. Otherwise with riots, unruly mobs, violent protests for any cause, they’re all good!

Every day that passes will be a curse on the US Congress
which supports the Moslem Brotherhood, al Qaeda,
open borders, IRA and NSA attacks on Americans,
and the uses ALL AMERICAN RESOURCES to help terrorists
in Libya, Mexico, Syria, Egypt, and within the USA.

This is most disgusting and openly and gayly treasonous
Congress that has ever existed.

You’re too lenient on the sentence. LOL

The bastards deserve the very worst.

The thirty million Egyptians in the streets knew that our Muslim president was a supporter of Morsi. They will not forgive that.

Yep. Clearly they got their marching orders this morning, “turn left immediately.”

Is the Muslim Bro-hood considered left or right? Or just vicious?

I’ll take a shot...

If we cut all aid to Egypt, it would be fine with me. Why should we be paying their bills, year after year?

On the other hand, the purpose of this threat is to persuade the Generals not to depose Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood. The threat is, if you depose Morsi, we’ll cut your pay. Or even bring down the military entirely, since it has gotten very dependent on our tax dollars over the years since Jimmy Carter made his deal with them.

America would be better off if the those that propped Morse up were gone.
