Interesting phrase.
If that's the case, then the US shouldn't have elected Obama.
We should stop funding them.
It is no wonder the world hates us.
I hope obama’s golf game is going well.
I bet the Egyptions are pissed the Muslims take credit for the varying forms of mathematics that preceded the birth of Christ.
This Egyptian debacle is giving traction to Rand Paul’s neoisolationist positions. Hard pressed Americans are beginning to wonder if the foreign entanglements are worth the material and human sacrifices. This of course sets the stage for a battle for the sol of the Republican party with the neoconservatives. It will be interesting.
Rand is a fool.
He knows nothing of what’s going on in Egypt. He’s as stupid as his stupid crazy father. He’s taking the WRONG FREAKING SIDE! His reason for not giving money to Egypt is because he thinks the miltiary is bad and the MB are the good guys.
Makes me want to puke.
Anyway, Putin’s helping Egypt now and el-Sisi won’t take 0bastard’s call, so US influence is over, anyway. The Egyptians know full well that 0bastard’s been supporting the Mozlem Brotherhood and the MB has a very narrow small support in Egypt.
Good quote from Sultan Knish, saw a link to this article on a thread I’m trying to find, it should be posted on FR, great article:

The GOP may be able to reconcile itself to a Rand Paul, sacrificing its national security plank to keep its socially liberal values and free trade core intact, but not to a Ted Cruz who represents something far closer to its populist base. Give the Elephant Party someone it can agree with on illegal alien amnesty, sending jobs to China and shrugging at all the Bible Belt stuff... while winning back the approval of the Tea Party and it can work with that.
Billions of dollars in aid to Egypt has been a questionable practice we’ve indulged in ever since Jimmy Carter, if not before.
It would be good if we could cut back on that aid—and on most other foreign aid.
But we sure as hell shouldn’t do it at this particular moment, because the Generals have followed the wishes of most Egyptians and thrown the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood out of office. Or because the generals are shooting terrorists who are busy raping and murdering and burning innocent people, including Coptic Christians.
If anything, we should be supporting the Generals at this point. But of course the Left Wing Press, the Left Wing White House, and the Left Wingers in Europe are all in favor of supporting Muslim terrorists.
The hell with that.
Hmmm. Aren’t these guys clearing out the Muslim Brotherhood? We should probably increase the aid if it is going for pest control..
Umm, the Egyptian military are trying to stop RADICAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS who want to kill Christians. Jeez, Rand. Why don’t you spend more time condemning the terrorists who are tearing Egypt apart.
Interesting phrase.
Sen. Paul should not be so reflexive. Former ambassador John Bolton can give him an education of what is going on in Egypt now.
Unless you want another IRAN in North Africa you better support the Egyptian generals who oppose the Muslim Brotherhood and are trying to restore representative government as they had before Obama.
While I agree with crip about not funding them we do not need to stop funding now or for the reasons that they kicked morsi out and are killing mb and al qaeda terrorists. Those terrorists killed ONE HUNDRED POLICE ARMED ONLY WITH TEAR GAS... and the can of whupass that the Military has opened on them is deserved in spades. Kill them all boys and stack them like cord wood!
LLS
The bloodthirsty Muslim Brotherhood? Seriously?
I’ve got Two Words for Rand Paul.
Rand Paultard now supports the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda.
