McCain: Suspend aid to Egyptian military
The Hill ^ | July 6, 2013 | Daniel Strauss

Posted on 07/06/2013 8:44:33 AM PDT by maggief

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called on the United States to suspend aid to the Egyptian military as the country grapples with clashes between supporters and opponents of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

"We have to suspend aid to Egyptian military because the military has overturned the vote of the people," McCain said Friday according to Al Jazeera. "We cannot repeat the same mistakes that we made in other times of our history by supporting removal of freely elected governments."

McCain said that Washington should demand the Egyptian arm set a timetable for elections and for making a new constitution, the network said.

“And then we should evaluate whether to continue with aid or not,” he said.

Better: Suspend Sen. John McCain’s pay and allowances (including his offices and staff) until he smartens up or quits.

It’s a crying shame that McCain is the one who succeeded Barry Goldwater.

We shouldn't be giving money to ANY groups over there - they do is kick back some to our corrupt politicians then spend the rest making wars or backing thugs.

“But why is McCain?”

He’s just plain ole dumb. He can’t get anything right, god bless his old soul. It’s past time for the good citizens of Arizona to park him on his front porch...

I understand why Obama is defending his buddies in the Muslim Brotherhood. But why is McCain?

I suspect in the New World Order they have a specific Order layed out...This little thing in Egypt put a monkey wrench into their world wide plans which apparently includes turning those Arab countries surrounding Israel into Jihadists...

Thanks maggief. Al-Jazeera quotes:
"We have to suspend aid to Egyptian military because the military has overturned the vote of the people," McCain said Friday according to Al Jazeera. "We cannot repeat the same mistakes that we made in other times of our history by supporting removal of freely elected governments."
Removal of US support was the mistake made when the freely elected Mubarak gov't was fighting for its life.

Yet McCain had no problem with Morsi unilaterally suspending the constitution the people's representative had approved, essentially declaring himself dictator, throwing his political opponents in jail and systematically slaughtering and abusing Christians. No doubt in my mind this loser is on the islamist payroll and for big money.

Frankly, we shouldn’t be giving aid to anyone, so this might be a good excuse to finally stop doing it for Egypt.
