Law says the U.S. is required to cut aid after coups. Will it in Egypt?

Outside observers might not have much trouble calling the events in Egypt on Wednesday a military coup. When a khaki-clad, beret-wearing general commandeers state TV to announce that the constitution is suspended and the president no longer president, “coup” seems like a pretty safe word.

Since most of the aid is military and things are up in the air over there, suspending it might not be a bad idea. No more F-16’s until we know who will be in the cockpit.

Ha, ha, that’s rich. When does this government reduce spending on anything? It’s damn the debt, and full speed ahead to insolvency!

I’m starting to wonder if the president could get away with murder.

But when Morsi took over, we had to send aid because...

The left just picks and chooses what law it wants to enforce when.

The Quisling-in-Chief and his Grand Vizier heading up the Department of Injustice will no doubt flout that law with the same impudence they have flouted so many other laws, not to mention Constitutional provisions, since they seized power in this Nation over five years ago.

Obama is the Jihadists' best friend and America's worse enemy since Benedict Arnold!

Oh please. Like what the LAW says matters anymore under the man child.

The law as written is irrelevant, only what il Douche says he wants to enforce or not....

It depends on the what the meaning”requires” Means to the WON. I’m sure he’ll find a way around it if it will help his beloved “Brotherhood”.
