LET'S GIVE THEM $1.5 BILLION SO THEY CAN GET ADEQUATE WEAPONS 

Obama will give $1.5 billion in military aide to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood despite the fact that Congress has halted aide. He warned us that when Congress was not willing to act (agree with him), he would.


So where is Congress? Where is the media? I guess we can’t expect the Caliphate to prosper without some funds from the USA! And why does Obama think he can ignore Congress?


According to Breitbart/BigPeace, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will soon announce that President Obama will “resume funding for Egypt’s military, despite Congressional restrictions and objections from human rights and democracy advocates.”


The Brotherhood continually threatens Israel and we are going to give them $1.5 billion after cutting military aide to Israel?

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will open the way to resuming $1.3 billion in annual military aid to Egypt,AFP reported on Thursday.

The funds had been suspended over human rights concerns, the reportnoted.

“Tomorrow, Secretary Clinton will certify that Egypt is meeting its obligations under its peace treaty with Israel,” AFP quoted a senior State Department official as having said in an email.

The move will free up $250 million in economic aid that had never been in serious question, the report said, noting Clinton would also waive requirements on whether Cairo is making progress towards democracy to allow for “the continued flow of foreign military financing to Egypt,” according to the official who asked to remain anonymous.

The official stressed that “on the democracy side, Egypt has made more progress in 16 months than in the last 60 years,” highlighting free and fair parliamentary elections as well as the transfer of legislative authority to the new people's assembly.

He added, however, “Yet Egypt's transition to democracy is not yet complete, and more work remains to protect universal rights and freedoms, and the role of NGOs and civil society.”

The annual military aid is cemented in Egypt's 1979 peace with Israel but had come under review recently, due to Cairo's crackdown on pro-democracy groups.

“These decisions reflect our overarching goal: to maintain our strategic partnership with an Egypt made stronger and more stable by a successful transition to democracy,” the State Department official added.

In December, Egyptian prosecutors stormed the offices of 17 pro-democracy nonprofit groups, including the U.S.-funded International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House.

In January, Egypt barred some U.S. members of the NGOs from leaving the country and a number of them took refuge at the US embassy. The country later allowed six American and seven other foreign NGO members to leave the country after they posted bail, even if the case remains unresolved.

Senator Patrick Leahy, who sponsored the legislation that tied conditions to aid, said Thursday he was “disappointed” by Clinton's decision.

“I know Secretary Clinton wants the democratic transition in Egypt to succeed, but by waiving the conditions we send a contradictory message,” Leahy was quoted by AFPas having said in a statement.

He added, “The Egyptian military should be defending fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, not harassing and arresting those who are working for democracy.”

Leahy said that Clinton should use the law to “release no more taxpayer funds than is demonstrably necessary, withholding the rest in the Treasury pending further progress in the transition to democracy.”

Here's a "News Flash" to Ms. Clinton: Egypt is not meeting its obligations with its citizens, Israel, and the United States.  It continues to kidnap and hold hostage American citizens, shuts down Embassies, murders Christians and burns down churches and EGYPT should be put on a "No fly Zone" list, warning all Americans not to visit Egypt or plan any mini-vacations until EGYPT stops all its human rights violations!  Until then, we are continuing to arm an enemy of the U.S.  How is funding EGYPT in the best interest of the United States and its ally Israel?
