In a cascade of mutual recriminations over the past three days, President Mansour and his prime minister, Hazem Biblawi, described two senior American senators, sent as emissaries of President Barak Obama, as “delusional” and “liars.”
The two senators arrived with demands to release all Muslim Brotherhood leaders being held under arrest and to integrate the party into the new revolutionary government. Otherwise, they warned, the Obama administration will cutoff all financial and military aid to Egypt.
Spokesmen for both the presidency and the prime minister immediately took umbrage, joined by an array of press commentators, who accused the two Americans, Senators McCain and Graham, of “manufacturing facts” and of “unwelcome interference in Egypt’s internal affairs.” The flagship Egyptian newspaper, Al Ahram, said the senators engaged in “foolish statements that are unacceptable.”
Following a press conference in which Mr. McCain threatened sanctions, the leader of the Egyptian Popular Current party, Hamdeen Sabahi, who is a co-leader of the ruling National Salvation Front, described Mr. McCain as “a senile old man.”
On the streets, nationalist sentiment was not far behind. The ‘’Rebel Movement’’ is pitching a new drive titled ‘’Say No to US Aid’’, which runs at $ 1.5 billion a year. So grave is the situation that military sources told Reuters on Wednesday that Egypt may call off critical joint military maneuvers code-named Bright Star.
Bright Star, which has been taking place since 1981, comprises the largest such exercises in the region. The exercises have been jointly led by America and Egypt, with participation of Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and sometimes Turkey.
The confrontation emerging between the Obama administration and Egypt represents a startling collapse for a president who, in Mr. Obama, made his first presidential demarche a speech at Cairo reaching out to the Muslim world. Now the confrontation threatens to destroy the foundation of regional, military, intelligence and anti-terror alliances built over decades...

Chinese advisers...
Ha, that's funny, we conservatives over here knew that, but we don't think you Egyptians went far enough in your description of those two old birds... they're homos, can't keep their hands off each other.
Hmm, seems I have heard McLame described as a senile old man in another place. LOL
Dumb and Dumber made quite the impression.
Now we can see why Obama sent these two lemmings.
......I think Hamdeen got it right! In fact, I think he scored a bullseye! Now, if only Arizona voters would “get it”.
What an embarrassment the Democrats and their Republican enablers are.
And dangerous embarrassments at that.
A rule of life that I find applies almost without fail:
If McCain is in favor of it, it has to be a really bad idea.
If both McCain and Graham are in favor of it, it is an absolutely horrible, indescribably bad idea.
I am glad the Egyptians have enough gumption to tell McLame and Grahamnesty to pound sand.
It’s getting pretty bad when all the Iranians and the Russians have to do to score a propaganda coup against America is to tell the truth.
i'll believe that when they STOP taking our tax dollars...

Is this true?
Chinese advisers...
That’s right. Syria and Iran get the Russians.
And the USA will no longer be a viable nation.....
Well, he’s got 3.5 more years to slice and dice.
The next shoe to drop is our carriers. I suspect he’s going to try to eliminate some battle groups.

Looks like it’s the same story. By the author’s name it says, Special to the Sun. Maybe the reporter is double dipping? :)
If it shows any sign of getting better, Obama will kill it.
