Menendez: Egypt aid can be ‘leverage’
The Hill ^ | July 7, 2013

Posted on 07/07/2013 6:18:22 PM PDT by SMGFan

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) on Sunday said the U.S. could use its foreign aid package for Egypt as “leverage” to push the country back to democracy, days after the military ousted elected President Mohamed Morsi. Menendez did not call for suspending aid, but said it could help “ensure we end up with an Egypt for all” by pressing the military to transition quickly back to civilian rule and free elections.

What BS - “Back to Democracy” - BHussein’s variety of Democracy means, “You voted for me so I can do what I want” - no rule of law, I am King, and you have to respect mah authohratay” (Cartman, South Park).

You beat me to it. If I was caught with underage girls I would be too ashamed to even be seen in public. His conscience doesn’t seem to bother him at all. He is basically a pedophile..

Hey Sen Menendez, Pres. 0, the US State Dept, and the rest of our brain-dead foreign policy experts: DEMOCRACY IS 2 WOLVES AND A LAMB VOTING ON WHAT’S FOR DINNER!

Elections no more make a free country than a garage makes a car...

Let the countries of the Arab world learn the virtues of tolerance and local self government-—THEN maybe they should have elections. Until then, the world is not safe with their voted-in tyrants..........

“Democracy” = back to Muslim Brotherhood. They were democratically elected in a “fair” election. Maybe even an election “monitored” by Peanuts Carter. Just like Allende, Saddam, Ahmadinejad, Mugabe, the guy from Honduras etc.

Egypt can make their own damn money AND if the Unite States is so rich let’s cut everyone’s student loans by 5% instead of giving the money to the Muslim Brotherhood - or worse.

Having an election does not a democracy make.

Iraq had an election. They live under Muslim Law. Same with Afghanistan. And Libya...and Egypt....etc etc

Current US law forbids aid to Egypt if a coup occurs.

I’m guessing that Menendez will follow Obama’s lead and just ignore the law.

Obama doesnt understand democracy..... at all. Not even its Christian based infrastructure which gave us the root, the Magna Carta which was the foundation for all rights, freedom , liberty etc etc. What he does know is he needs to change the basic constitution to take away all the thing entrenched in the advantages vested in the MAgna Carta and replace it with something from Sharia/s. If you replace it with a lesser philosophy, then it’s another tool for the destruction of the rights we have learned to love.
Let alone the fact it allowed us advance beyond all other cultures.

What is this compulsion by our idiot politicians, including various Presidents especially since Carter, to try to democratize other countries?

The US would be much better off internally if our treasure was spent here instead of paying it to despots and terrorists in other countries.

Leave those other countries alone and let them find their own path to the way THEY want to live! Only intervene in a situation when it’s obvious a country is attempting to harm America; then, do it with sufficient force to ensure it wont happen again.
