TAHRIR SQUARE, CAIRO -- This was the place where the revolution began: the roundish square where Egyptians celebrated Mubarak's fall.
This is where they are shouting on bullhorns again, outraged because they say the Muslim Brotherhood has stolen the revolution and is railroading though a constitution that could lock in Muslim Brotherhood rule for 50 years, bringing more Islamic law. They cry -- not against Islam -- but that an extremist interpretation is being forced down their throats by a president who critics say is acting every part the tyrant.
This is also a warning, they claim, of what may happen across the Middle East. The era of the Muslim Brotherhood appears to have arrived. President Obama has hailed the Brotherhood's President Mohammed Morsi as a pragmatist who helped end the Gaza crisis. Egyptians here think the Brotherhood has conned Washington, just like it conned them.

That was just one phase of selling America, and Israel...DOWN THE RIVER.

How much are taxpayers spending on Egypt and Libya?</HEADER>By Tom Curry, NBC News national affairs writer
President Barack Obama is proposing that American taxpayers spend about $1.55 billion on aid to Egypt and another $1.5 million – not billion - on aid to Libya in the fiscal year that starts on Oct. 1, which would be the same amount allocated for Egypt in the current fiscal year, and a decline of about $1 million in Libyan aid.
"which would be the same amount allocated for Egypt in in the current fiscal year", thats 1.55 + 1.55 = 3.1 billion which indicate billions= plural.

Something like 70% of Egyptians don't want aid from the USA. But the MB does, and as soon as they got their foot into office, they announced that any cut in aid from the USA could lead to an end in peace. I understand this is part of the treaty, but this is how the radicals work, instead of diplomacy, they immediately threaten violence if they don't get what they want.

By msnbc.com staff and news services
DAVOS, Switzerland -- President Barack Obama plans to accelerate the pace of American aid to Egypt by redirecting non-urgent aid slated for other countries, a top U.S. diplomat said Wednesday.
Speaking on the sidelines of the annual World Economic Forum, Undersecretary of State Robert Hormats said Washington wants to provide more immediate benefits to the most populous Arab nation, which earlier this month conducted its first democratic elections in decades.
Besides redirecting some foreign aid, funding in the pipeline for long-term programs in Egypt would be shifted to quick-impact projects, Hormats said.
(http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/01/25/10235860-obama-wants-to-boost-aid-to-egypt-quickly?lite)
Congress approved $1.3 billion in military aid to Egypt for the current fiscal year, but with conditions attached. It also approved $250 million in economic aid, as well as an "enterprise fund" of up to $60 million.
DEMOCRATIC MY ASS. IT WAS A MUSLIM TAKEOVER FROM THE START AND INTENDED TO CREATE A ISLAMIC THEOCRACY. NOW WE SEE THAT HAPPENING. YOU JUST CAN NOT WARN IGNORANT AND DELUDED FOOLS. OBAMA IS ALL FOR THIS AND KNEW THAT IT WAS THE PLAN, TIS WHY HE DIDNT HELP OUR ALLY THAT HAD KEPT THE PEACE WITH ISREAL FOR DECADES!--TYR

Everyone should recognize how Obama is just playing into the Welcome hands of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He has bowed down to them, and accepted their EXTORTION, or BLACKMAIL threats where they CRY that accepting more US AID, DOLLARS is not what they want. While...at the very same time. They are telling Obama. They BETTER GET MORE US AID, or they will go to war.
Top all of this off with the Democrat, Obama cries that Obama is somehow the Victim here?
I say SCREW 'EM ALL! Congress, across the board should grow some GONADS and, since they have the power of the Purse.
STOP, CEASE, END....All foreign Aid to ALL OF THE MIDDLE-EASTERN nations who are Admitted Enemies of the U.S.A.

There should never have been any intention to send any funds to Egypt in the first place, surely .. or, at minimum, it should have been withheld the moment the Muslim Brotherhood got their foot in the door of power there.
And so MUCH money, too. I find it very hard to accept that it's ultimately going to the one country. To the Muslim Brotherhood as a whole .. perhaps ?

So you're saying that BO has the ability to fork over money completely on his own and is not driven by treaty requirements and/or was approved by Republicans in the House? Just because the government sends it doesn't mean BO is sending it.

Absolutely. That treaty was made with a country that wanted peace. Now the money was given to the brotherhood, a group who has threatened us already and has a history and connection to terror groups. Not a single penny should go to help that group. The money was meant as AID for Egyptians, and since that isn't happening, they should withdraw and let Israel do what they have to do if Egypt and Palestine choose war instead of peace. The USA will save a few billion and Egypt and Palestine will see another ass kicking.

What I have is obama's actions and willingness to go against Israel and his sudden opposition against the strong new sanctions against Iran point to his duplicity. He has the ability and authority to not pay, or at the very least to delay payment to force a change in Egypt's decision, dont give me that crap that he doesnt. Even were it unconstitutional he would do it if he desired. What you refuse to accept is his true nature and his policies that are deliberately designed to weaken our nation. When the new MB Egyptian government revealed its change in plans regarding the peace treaty with Israel obama made no appeal, no public condemnation and no threat to stop the money!! Cut the money, why pay to help Egypt arm and fight Israel??
These are valid considerations and very valid questions concerning obama's true intent and true agenda.

So you have evidence regarding the $1.5 bill he sent over there of his own accord?
Not sure if this is what you guys are debating over, but Obama did in fact bypass Congress...
Obama Bypasses Congress, Gives $1.5 Billion to Muslim BrotherhoodDuring a trip through Colorado in December of last year, President Obama spoke of his intention to implement his economic policies with or without the approval of Congress. Said Obama, “And where Congress is not willing to act, we’re going to go ahead and do it ourselves.” It now appears that such a mindset applies not only to economic matters but to the distribution of foreign aid as well--in particular, foreign military aid for the Muslim Brotherhood, who now hold the reigns in Egypt.
Congress has restricted and, in fact, halted military aid to Egypt until and “unless the State Department certifies that Egypt is making progress on basic freedoms and human rights.” After all, Christians and other practitioners of non-Islamic religions have had a tough go of it there. And of course, many Egyptian officials harbor such hatred toward the U.S. that one of the candidates for the Egyptian presidency has openly referred to America as the “infidel country” in media interviews.
Nevertheless, the news breaking now is that 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.”

I just don't understand the point of congress at times. If they approve something, it goes forward. If they shoot it down, it does not. What's the point of having them if one person can unilaterally make decisions with such large amounts of OUR money? He also bypassed congress to send aid to the Palestinians this year. I believe he bypassed congress to cut military spending - and that was after he bypassed congress in order to send the military to Libya.

Thank you, that would be evidence. Although the title is a bit misleading as it is military aid as it is specifically military aid that has been Congressionally authorized.
Egypt’s aid from U.S. in peril amid crackdown on pro-democracy groups (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/egypts-aid-from-us-in-peril-amid-crackdown-on-pro-democracy-groups/2012/02/03/gIQAp5GQqQ_story.html)
Under new conditions imposed by Congress, the Obama administration must certify that Egypt is taking specific steps toward democracy before disbursing $1.3 billion in military aid. But a senior Obama administration official, who was not authorized to speak by name, said there is currently no way to certify that all conditions are being met.
And of course it's not as cut and dry as we like to think:

Let's start with the military aid. How much is it, and what does it buy?Military aid — which comes through a funding stream known as Foreign Military Financing — has held steady at about $1.3 billion since 1987. American officials have long argued that the money promotes strong ties between the American and Egyptian militaries, which gives the U.S. all kinds of benefits. U.S. Navy warships, for instance, get "expedited processing" when they pass through the Suez Canal.
Here's a 2009 U.S. embassy cable released by WikiLeaks that makes essentially the same point (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/199866):
President Mubarak and military leaders view our military assistance program as the cornerstone of our mil-mil relationship and consider the USD 1.3 billion in annual FMF as "untouchable compensation" for making and maintaining peace with Israel. The tangible benefits to our mil-mil relationship are clear: Egypt remains at peace with Israel, and the U.S. military enjoys priority access to the Suez Canal and Egyptian airspace.
The military funding also enables Egypt to purchase U.S.-manufactured military goods and services. But a 2006 report from the Government Accountability Office (http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-06-437) (PDF) criticized both the State Department and the Defense Department for failing to measure how the funding actually contributes to U.S. goals.
...
So has American aid to Egypt been cut off?
No. Congress threatened to block the aid when Egypt began a crackdown on a number of American pro-democracy groups this winter. A senior Obama administration official said that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had no way to certify (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/egypts-aid-from-us-in-peril-amid-crackdown-on-pro-democracy-groups/2012/02/03/gIQAp5GQqQ_story.html) the bill's conditions were being met.
But in March Clinton waived the certification requirement (yes, she can do that) and approved the aid, despite concerns remaining about Egypt's human rights record. The reason? "A delay or cut in $1.3 billion in military aid to Egypt risked breaking existing contracts with American arms manufacturers that could have shut down production lines in the middle of President Obama's re-election campaign," the New York Times reported (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/24/world/middleeast/once-imperiled-united-states-aid-to-egypt-is-restored.html). Breaking the contracts could have left the Pentagon on the hook for $2 billion.
What dolt in Congress decided that the SoS could just waive the certification requirement if it was so important? Not surprisingly there are other considerations.
I just don't understand the point of congress at times. If they approve something, it goes forward. If they shoot it down, it does not. What's the point of having them if one person can unilaterally make decisions with such large amounts of OUR money? He also bypassed congress to send aid to the Palestinians this year. I believe he bypassed congress to cut military spending - and that was after he bypassed congress in order to send the military to Libya.

It's not just about deterring the country's generals from grabbing power -- it's about demonstrating that the U.S. is making democracy a top priority in the Middle East.
I think that they would have been loathe to admit that while Bush was POTUS.

Thank you, that would be evidence. Although the title is a bit misleading as it is military aid as it is specifically military aid that has been Congressionally authorized.

My fear is about the MB though. When Muburak was in charge, he apparently kept a lot of aid for himself to live a lavish lifestyle. If he can do it, I'm wondering what steps were put in place to prevent future leaders from doing the same. And if nothing has been done, then it's quite conceivable to think that the MB can do similar, or worse.

Yes it was a bribe and it seems a lot of it went straight into Hosni Mubarak's pockets.
Whatever proportion of supplied funds went to Mubarak, surely isn't the real point, whether true or not. The REAL point is that even YOU admit that Egypt, under Morsi, is ruled by an Administration which has to be bribed in order to behave properly.
The very fact of bribery proves that Morsi cannot be trusted. Which in turn proves the premise of this thread.
Morsi, as representative of the Muslim Brotherhood, shows us the disreputability of that organisation. YOU HAVE MADE THAT CASE YOURSELF, JAFAR. Presumably if or when the funds run dry, they'll show us all their true colours.

Of course, Jafar's intent could've been to say that America really needs to KEEP paying the bribe, if it wants Morsi to continue on as before. Perhaps he's keen to ensure that the Muslim Brotherhood keeps getting its money.
And perhaps he takes the American Administration, willing to offer those funds, for fools. Or as weak. Compliant. Or ... natural comrades (covertly speaking) ?

Why would people agree to something and then later want more? Then it should be the same attitude to the US no longer being fond of any agreement and immediately ceasing any aid whatsoever. Let those who take issue with Israel try and forcibly take land back, and Israel can defend herself. It'll be comical watching repeats.

My guess is that Jafar favors strongly his own muslim sect= Sunni I believe but against we infidels he favors any muslim sect even Shia. Now according to his religion thats the correct thing to do. I didnt say that it was fair or just but within Islam its right. Islam however has much within its tenents that is just plain wrong..

Tyr. Truth is. Today's Israeli Military is nearly on an equal, technical plane with the U.S. Military. Not many people understand, or even know. The Israeli's have actually invented, designed, and built a large portion of the military weapon's systems we use, and of course...they use.
If Israel waited around for Obama to give them permission to defend themselves. They would have been destroyed long ago.
So. For those who HATE Israel, and Jews so much. Keep calling them names, making fun of them. But don't turn your back on them like Obama has done.
Eventually. His legacy won't be a bright one. Despite his Anti-American, Anti-Israeli Crossed-fingers.

Apparently we've been sending them the military aid every year, and a couple hundred million dollars in economical aid in addition. Also, and even worse, if not interested in the well being of the citizens, they can perhaps resell arms. But a couple of hundred million can still be used to put a firmer grasp on ones control. I don't think the Brotherhood, with their history, should get anything from the US, especially if they come out with threats about the peace deal.

I never knew this before, but read an article a few days back that said 70% of Egyptians don't want any money from us. I wonder if that's rooted in hatred towards the US, or if they were angry that the money we spent was not used on them the way it was meant?

No,because its not understood. Its a bribe/gift given to a sworn enemy in the vain hope that they will be more gentle with us later! Its folly and its often done because politicians would rather go along to get along than stand up for whats best, whats right for the nation. Its not important to monitor to those in power because they gave it with those insane and cowardly thoughts in mind. Its not important to monitor because those making such huge mistakes are not second guessing thier ignorance! I do not care what stuff we send them because its folly to give our enemies anything except a blade or a bullet in their wicked heads. We stand free, proud and sovereign by our might and our right not by cunning and cowardice. Replacing the first two with the second two has always been a great folly. History proves it often. I suggest you study history a bit more .. Nations survive on the might and power of their warriors not on the dishonor and appeasement of their politicians!! America shortly after WW2
started depending upn its politicians more and more until we have the current bullshit we have now. Our dependence on corrupt and dishonorable politicians(obama for example) telegraphs to the rest of the world our true weakness. And that we may be weakened and defeated by double dealing and treachery. As we now see in obama's actions of rewarding a terrorist organisation billions because it took control of a country=Egypt!
