Evidence? The Obama Administration authorized 200 M-1 Abrams tanks, dozens of F-111 fighter jets and millions and millions of dollars in cash assistance a year ago to be shipped to Egypt for use by Morsi’s government against Israel. The allocation had originally been approved for shipment to Egypt when Mubarak was still in power, when Egypt was still an ally of the U.S. more or less. So the fum bucks in Washington decided they’d send the weapons and the money anyway after Mubarak had been deposed by the extremists. No matter that Morsi was put in power by the MB and by al Qaida. Is this a wonderful country or what? Is that enough for you? Or do you need MORE? The Egyptian people aren’t stupid. Amerika is backing the terrorists and extremists, and the Egyptian population is furious with us. I don’t blame them one bit.
The fact is, MB or not, the military got the weapons and did not misuse them.
Our guys knew that their guys needed what was promised.
It as if our military knew of the current events long ago.
The alliance remained on the basis of honor and mutual trust
I am aware that we did not cancel the support that we had provided Egypt for 30 years because they FINALLY had a duly elected government after 5000 years of history. Maybe you think that would have been to correct call for America to make. You are likely correct, but I can understand WHY we didn’t do it. Bush would have continued the aid as well I bet. I’m just simply trying to take into consideration the options we had and find proof that Obama helped tip things to Morsi. The support after the fact is not much to hearl at the admin in my opinion. I think any U.S. admin would have done the same.
