[KUchief25]

"RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Secretary of State John Kerry announced Sunday that the United States would provide $250 million in assistance to Egypt after Egypt’s president promised to move ahead with negotiations with the International Monetary Fund over economic reforms."

Now back to your regularly scheduled sequester calamity.

And we can't provide school teachers for the military or staff control towers?

Let me get this straight: it's fine to take money for the disabled or others who need it but great to give to people who hate us.

This is why politicians stink, they only care about others.

It looks like Egypt needed this money for funding their new islamic morality police force...........

A new informal police force has been launched in Cairo, to ensure Islamic morals are adhered to. The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice denies it is linked to Saudi's dreaded morality police, which share the same name. Islamic Cleric Hisham el-Ashri, founder of Egypt's newly launched Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, stated the morality police will only use "non-violent methods" to implement the moral principles of Islam, the IB Times reported. El-Ashri said: "We will only offer advice to those who want to listen. We shall have no business with people who refuse to listen to us." In spite of el-Ashri's declarations of non-violence the Salafist morality enforcers will carry canes to beat violaters. According to Bikya News they will be provided with electric tasers at some point in the future.

So we bribed them?

"“In all my meetings, I conveyed a simple but serious message: The brave Egyptians who stood vigil in Tahrir Square did not risk their lives to see that opportunity for a brighter future squandered,” Mr. Kerry said."

Those same brave Egyptians are risking their lives protesting Morsi now but apparently Mr. Kerry doesn't much care about that protesting. Neither does Obama or the media.

This part here should have been a good reason to give them no money at all:

Mr. Kerry said the aid decision reflected Egypt’s “extreme needs” and Mr. Morsi’s assurance that Egypt would reach an agreement with the I.M.F. after more than a year of talks over a $4.8 billion loan package.

Kerry should have told him to f*** off and take the loan instead of bumming money from our broke a$$es.

Well we provide 20-30% of the money to the IMF somewhere around that. Morsi is just double dipping.

Like anything different would have occurred under a Republican administration.

We need Pat Buchanan for Secretary of State.
