Egypt strongly criticizes US remarks over aid
Daily Star Lebanon ^ | Saturday, August 2, 2014 | Associated Press

Posted on 08/02/2014 3:46:10 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

Egypt's Foreign Ministry has strongly criticized the United States after a State Department spokeswoman said the Egyptian government used its military aid "against their own people." ... State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf made the comments Thursday in response to a question about U.S. military aid to Israel during the Gaza war.

Abdel-Atti said the U.S. aid Egypt received was used in combating terrorism. He said: "These condemned remarks reflect complete ignorance and incompetence in understanding the reality of things in Egypt."

Harf's comments refer to the heavy security crackdown in Egypt on Islamist supporters of ousted President Mohammad Morsi, removed from power by the military last year after millions protested against him.

Yes, well Abdel, ‘complete ignorance and incompetence’ has run rampant throughout the entire State Department since, oh, around 2008.

In fact top government heads right here consider many of the American people to be worse than foreign terrorist, AH’s, dangerous and on and on.

They even put it in writing...

Don’t worry about the state department, Egypt. Don’t listen to them, we certainly don’t.

This is the most incompetent/destructive administration in history.

The only thing that this misadministration is 100% competent at, is incompetence.
