The only reason why this bastard wants the flow of money to stop is that it would go to kill the extreme radical maniacs in the MB.
Same reason why BHO wants it stopped.
The $1.5 billion is peanuts. Egypts buddies in the hood have said they would give $15 billion to them.
No aid will be cut off. The issue is whether the aid will come from the US, or from the Saudis.
I’m not a big fan of giving Egypt money to begin with (even the so-called ‘good’ Egyptians are organizing a petition to end the peace treaty with Israel). But it shouldn’t be tied to this.
Tough one. An Egypt dominated by the MB would definitely not be friendly to US and/or Israeli interests (often one and the same). On the other hand, support of the military’s efforts to suppress the MB will bite us sooner or later (e.g. what happened with Mossadeq vs the Shah in Iran, to cite just 1 example ). Goes to show what happens when the US gets mixed up in the Old World’s affairs. The Old World has always been a source of grief and evil for the New World. But our leaders never learn this lesson.

Maybe, just maybe muslim Ellison should ask why Obama has changed his mind on cutting off funds for the Egyptians and their army. Maybe he should go back and take a look at the news reports on the day Mursi was taken prisoner by the army and what they caught him with.
LOL so many factions to please that Obama can no longer keep any of them happy or under control.
As if the Muslims were not running around murdering and oppressing non-Muslims while the Muslim Brotherhood ran the show. Ellison should go live in Egypt with his brethren and take McStupid and his daughter with him. Megs would look great in a burkah tent. He is a chicken with a big mouth. He loves ‘em from a far distant.

“Egypt” will not end bloodshed until one side or the other is firmly in control. If the military wins then the end of the current vilence will come when the Brotherhood is all in prison, out of the country, or dead, IF the Brotherhood gains control the violence will end when all the Christians and other infidels are out of the country or dead whereupon yhr infidel structures will all be converted or razed, like the pyramids and ancient temples and such.
“Stop aid until the bloodshed is ended” is passive tense. Who will end it? This nonsense mouthed off by conservatives about cutting off aid because the military committed a coup is incomprehensible. The Egyptian military is carrying our water. Connect that with all the laws that Obama is ignoring and no one seems to mind. Evidently, the only way for the army to stop the violence, for now, is to surrender to the Muslim Brotherhood. That should make these conservative purists happy.
yeah Keith, like they aren't one and the same in dealing with arabs- who like your democrat constituents, can rented but not bought
the King Of Saudi Arabia is sending Egypt $12 billion to replace our $1 billion and Putin if he responds to request for backing will end up with his picture on the entrance to the Suez canal and the Aswan Dam
Do you want to cut off the Saudis, too?
LOL!

Should a member of the Muslim Brotherhood be allowed to weigh in?
