Great! Considering the role of Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood in getting weapons to the rebels... What better way to spend our tax money? /s

Still helping the terrorists. That started with bill clinton in Yugoslavia, and it just goes on, and on, and on.

Hillary is fully as bad as Obama. He doesn’t need to twist her arm, she just loves cozying up to Muslim fanatics.

You can bet the money will be deposited in the accounts of the Muslim Brotherhood and AlQaeda to assist them in getting weapons from China and Russia to help kill our troops.

I vote for Hillary to be next. Sorry but why should she be exempt from the turmoil she causes and whips up.

Makes one question Obama and Hillary's alliances and agenda. Including US debt.

From:

Egypt leader demands US aid, censorship, plus end to Israel ‘occupation’

...Morsi also used his U.S. speech to push his revolutionary mix of Islamic and progressive demands

White House Move to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid

If this is okay, then is it okay if other countries pledge millions to armed gangs in the US?
