Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.
[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]
Rand generally doesn’t get the Middle East (or Islam) right.
While Rand’s criticism of his fellow Senators would have been valid, had it been offered while the Obama Admin was busily arming Morsi’s Muslim-Brotherhood-controlled regime, by the time he levelled the criticism, the Morsi regime was already being toppled by the current al-Sisi regime. The al-Sisi regime has shown no reason not to be supported, as it is ruthlessly crushing the Muslim Brotherhood (whose representatives are found in various positions of influence throughout the Obama Administration), but has also been sympathetic to the Christians who have been the constant targets of Muslim-Brotherhood rage.
