Report: Obama To Speed Up Pace Of American Aid To Muslim Brotherhood-Led Egypt…

Disgusting misuse of our tax dollars.

(Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama plans to accelerate the pace of American aid to Egypt, a top State Department official said on Wednesday, as the most populous Arab nation reaches a critical stage in its uncertain transition away from autocratic rule.

Undersecretary of State Robert Hormats, part of a U.S. delegation that held unprecedented talks last week with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, said Washington wanted to provide “more immediate benefits” to Egyptians, who earlier this month conducted their first democratic elections in decades.

“During this period, we want to be as supportive as we can. This is an historic moment. Egypt’s a country of enormous importance,” Hormats said.

Under the plan, some non-urgent U.S. aid slated for other countries – he did not name them – would be redirected to Egypt. And funding in the pipeline for long-term programs in Egypt would be shifted to quick-impact projects, he said.

    Why not just get it over with and just give them some stealth bombers loaded with nukes and the auto-pilots set for Israel, London, and new York.

    Tourism income is down 30% and the Suez Canal is only up 10%. Someone has to make up the difference so the musloids can continue to buy weapons for this fall’s offensive.

    Hey we can give them all the weapons we won’t be using to defend ourselves and that will free up cash for the Libyans, the Pakis, the ingrate Iraqis and and Christ knows who else. Fuck the Brits and Poles, we know who our new friends are.

    And after he sends Egypt aid he’s going to send some aid to Al Quaida.

    This moron is forcing the US to commit suicide.

    Aren’t we selling Egypt a bunch of M1 Abrams tanks? So now we are giving a country about to drop into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood the money to buy our front line tanks from us? I seriously don’t know if we are going to make it to November here folks.

    soon real Barry Soetoro will appear…the one that spent unanswered time in “Pockistan” and then reinvented himself as BHO.

    No true Christian has that much pent up anger—not possible

    Islam and this regime are one…united in hate and divided in outcome

    Well now that for the hundredth or more time that the O has decided to diss the American public I think we should continue to tell people ( as Daniels did) what a wonderful example he is as a family man and how what he’s doing is just a mistake. After all this isn’t about philosophy its only about numbers.

    No matter how effectively Mitch Daniel laid out the case against what Obama and Democrats have done and even though a Republican rebuttal after the SOTU isn’t the place for name calling, this is what moderates do. They refuse to place the blame where it belongs and it isn’t on the numbers. It has to do with a vicious philosophy that ends in tyranny. Even if he didn’t want to bring up what and who Obama is he didn’t need to lie and say it’s only about the numbers. When an enemy is trying to destroy you it’s time to give no quarter, no matter how small it may be. This is why moderates and moderation will not save this Republic.

    Right, throwing more of OUR TAX DOLLARS at Egypt is supposed to do what?

    Does he think they will be less Sharia compliant with more money from us?
    Does he think they will be more accepting of anything non-Muslim if we give them more money?

    This is the most anti-civilized world move he can make.
    And the most pro-Islamic move he can make.

  26. Jeff says:

    Egyptians are barring American NGO’s affiliated with the GOP from leaving Egypt, one of them is the son of Ray Lahood.
    So Egypt’s Generals & Muslim Brotherhood extremists play footsie with Obama, and what’s his response? As usual, bow, say I’m sorry and offer some money as to appease them.
