Anti-US sentiment prevalent in Cairo over movie deemed offensive to Islam said to be reason for temporary halt is aid funds
Anti-American protests over a film deemed offensive to Islam, which have started in Cairo and spread across the Muslim world, have reportedly stalled negotiations to provide US economic assistance to Egypt, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
According to the report, Egypt's "clumsy response" to the storming of the US Embassy in Cairo has resulted in the US temporarily halting talks about a proposed $1 billion in debt relief, top Washington officials told the newspaper.
Okay, let me get this strait,
We create a problem by ousting Mubarak $$$, create another problem by supporting the MB to replace him $$$, and NOW we are going to create another problem (stir up a hornets nest) trying to fix the first two problems we created $$$???
Sounds like the work of a DEMOCRAT!!!
As Nobel Peace Prize Winner Obama is so fond of promising us: “FORWARD!”
Alligator mouth, gerbil a%$!
Did this come from Obama? i don’t see in the article where it says it came from the WH. A “congressional aide” was quoted. And that should be exactly what congress does. Cut them off...and then monitor the WH for taking a billion out of some slush fund and giving it to them anyway.
Egypt's "clumsy" response???
Egypt's?
Oh, I forgot, the dynamic duo, 0bama and Clinton can do no wrong!
Without aid Egypt totally implodes in short order. Tourism has crashed since the glorious Arab Spring and they don’t come remotely close to feeding themselves.
With sky high grain prices they’re gonna be in a world of hurt without massive aid.
Report: US suspends Egypt aid over film riots
Love how the corrupt MSM forwards a lie by continuing to peddle the “they did it because of a film nobody’s seen” lie...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will lobby lawmakers this week on the need to keep billions of dollars in aid flowing to Egypt and other countries caught up in a spasm of violent anti-American protests across the Muslim world.
The State Department said Clinton intended to meet with Congress later this week to discuss the protests, which saw U.S. diplomatic missions attacked and the U.S. ambassador to Libya killed amid fury over a film produced in the United States that many saw as an insult to Islam.
Hillary is not doing this without WH approval or urging. The only way the aid stops is if the House does the right thing. Defunding the countries would be a good start, but any subsequent violence would be blamed on Republicans not supporting the so-called fledgling democracies of the region.
These Congressional meetings will be more about both parties obtaining or denying the issue for the presidential campaign.
They haven’t actually suspended any aid, but simply talks about a new aid package.
Did Romney say something about cutting funding to Egypt?
Obama seems to shadow what ever Romney says first.

So does this mean we are not going to borrow the money from the Chinese at interest to give it to the Egyptians to use against Israel and the Coptic Christians?
I suppose that it would be more efficient if the Muslim Brotherhood borrowed it directly from the Chinese and cut out the middleman.
If the military in Egypt has no power after all of the aide we have already given them through the years as a reward for the now disavowed Camp David Accords, then what good was it anyway? Now the accords are no more, so the reward should be no more as well.
I don’t believe this fpr a second. NEVER believe what they say. WATCH what they do. What the liberals deny publically, they do privately.
Obummer to Egypt...”You want that money by credi card, cash or gold. It will get to you either way”.
Obummer will say anything to make himself look like he REALLY knows what he is doing when in fact, we all know better.

After that, regardless of who wins, he's going to finally get take off the mask and it's going to Obama unplugged until he leaves office.
If he loses expect to see an angry man do everything he can to punish the country that rejected him and to sabotage things as much as he can to make it as difficult as possible for Romney to take over as President.
The winds have indeed shifted, the stench is deafening, yet Barry stands with the origin of the stench that is wafting into the USA. At least this statement is in his own words, but few listened.
IIRC, the last handout was less than a month ago...
