Senator: Obama Administration Secretly Suspended Military Aid to Egypt

This is going to be interesting, especially since the Saudis are supporting the Egyptian military against the MB. Prince Alaweed Bin Talal, the man who probably funded the Mahdi’s stint at Harvard Law, is also supporting the Egyptian military. Pray that, if push comes to shove, the Saudis might do a records dump on the Mahdi.

Too bad. Juan Williams (on Fox News) was right for the first time in history when he called for our support of the Egyptian Military.

That was a real shocker. Steve Hayes, the alleged "conservative" from the Weekly Standard, took the other side and argued for supporting the MB plague rats.

Hussein be down wit da Brotherhood.

Of course they now suspend aid. Obama’s Brotherhood was tossed out.

0bamugabe? Acting in secret?

That just doesn't sound like him.

A not very subtle hint to our rats calling what is happening in Egypt a military coup:

Good catch!

The “paid for” part is a little more complex. The Egypts don’t have cash to pay for anything. The Apaches would have already been credited to their account-—their account being funded by the 1.6 billion that we give them in aid. The 1.6 B is not cash mostly, but credit they can use to buy US made weapons. Right or wrong cutting back on that aid knocks Americans out of work.

And then there is the “witholding” part: it’s been done before. Remember when we held the F-14s from Iran when the Mullahs took over.? The Shah had actually paid cash for the F-14s and we still kept them-—I don’t know if they ever got them.

No biggie. Saudi Arabia and Russia will aid the Egyptians in their purging of the Islamofascist serial killers, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Saudi Arabia Promises to Aid Egypt’s Regime

Saudi Arabia has emerged as the foremost supporter of Egypt’s military rulers, explicitly backing the violent crackdown on Islamists and using its oil wealth and diplomatic muscle to help defy growing pressure from the West to end the bloodshed in search of a political solution.

As Europeans and the United States considered cutting cash aid to Egypt, Saudi Arabia said Monday that it and its allies would make up any reduction — effectively neutralizing the West’s main leverage over Cairo.

Excellent info: “We were giving $1.3 bil to the Egyptian military...Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have committed $12 bil (per Bret Baier’s Special Report tonight).”

“Somehow, I don’t think the Egyptian military is worried about Obama’s feelings about his beloved Muslim Brotherhood.”

We need a country singer to sing, “Take your measily #1.3 billion and shove it, Barry, and you know where to shove it Barry!”

The American Constitution provides a very effective way of dealing with a defiant president. Use it or lose it.

I generally agree, however, I am not convinced that the Egyptian military is out of order. What are you suppose to do when a violent Moslem Brotherhood protest causes the deaths of 7 soldiers?

[Sam Gamgee]

I agree with your sentiments, just not sure we should be sending aid to any Moslem country....

[Sam Gamgee]

To which I ask why? Isn’t the MB ideologically in tune with the Wahabbi backed Saudi government?

[Sam Gamgee]

Remember what he did to Britain. Send back the Churchill statue and sided with Argentina over the Falklands. As Dinesh D’Souza says, Obama is anti-Western.

[Sam Gamgee]

Rand, what’s the problem. We now 600 less MB protesters to worry about.
