President Obama, Do Not Cut Off Aid to Egypt

25

If the US cuts off aid to Egypt, it sends a signal of support for the genocidal Muslim Brotherhood. Write your members of Congress and urge them not to cut off aid.

If we abandon freedom, the consequences will come back to bite us for decades to come.

Obama was wrong. If he cuts off aid he makes another catastrophic mistake. Making a mistake is one thing, not correcting it is another disaster. Obama will be compounding his first mistake in supporting these jihad savages.

Congress Split on Cutting Off Aid to Egypt – Stephen Ohlemacher
Members
of Congress are split over whether the U.S. should cut off military aid
to Egypt, highlighting the difficult choices facing the Obama
administration amid spiraling violence on the streets of an important
Middle East ally. Democratic leaders have generally supported the
president's approach. But on Sunday, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said
he would end aid to Egypt. Ellison is the first Muslim elected to
Congress and is co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
 
  Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) said curtailing aid could reduce U.S.
influence over Egypt's interim government, which controls access to
strategic resources, including the Suez Canal. "We certainly
shouldn't cut off all aid," said King, who chairs the House panel on
counterterrorism and intelligence.
    Sen. John McCain of Arizona
renewed his call Sunday to stop aid as the Egyptian military continues
to crack down on protesters seeking Morsi's return. But Rep. Eliot Engel
(D-N.Y.) said he supports the president's approach. (AP-ABC News)

Fortunately, the Egyptian Army, from its long historical experience, has learnt about the violent,subversive nature of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and its commitment to imposing a Sharia state via jihad.
The Egyptian Army is attempting to make clear the global threat which the MB poses, which the Army thinks much of the MSM does not understand, so its message in now going out in the English language, with the emphasis on the terrorist threat of MB.

Normally, I am against aid to other countries. It rarely makes sense to borrow money from China (or anyplace else) to give to another country and then have the American taxpayers pay back the loan (or I should say pay interest on the loan for eternity). I make an exception when the fate of the free world and the US hangs in the balance. I’m not sure just how good the Egyptian military is, but I know the Muslim Brotherhood is as evil as Hitler was and must be defeated. Obama sides with these barbarians.

This John McCain seems to be an imbecile. Does he not see the violence caused by the muslim brotherhood? Is he blind as well as stupid? If the Egyptian army has decided to exterminate the muslim brotherhood i.e. arrest or kill them all, then they are doing the job the US should have done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and other places – kill the enemy (or be killed by them).

Sure, go ahead, abandon support to the Egyptian military as they try to preserve Egypt as a republic not unlike our own (ideally anyway); much as Obama and Co. avoided helping the democracy movement in Iran. Hillary’s long-time aide Huma Abedin has intimate ties to the Brotherhood, Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s long-time advisor is a radical leftist with close ties to Iran; just like FDR had Harry Hopkins, there is definitely a cultural pattern here with the Democrats that spans decades, all the way from their inception in the 19th century, but I digress…
If important evidence can be openly suppressed by the Judge in the Hasan trial, as is apparently the case, we are now getting a real “taste” of how it feels to live in a left-wing police state where the government has no regard for their actual fiduciary duty to the American Republic. Obama needs to be impeached at least in the House, if only to make a loud and clear statement about reality.

McCain is obviously intellectually very dull. Apparently he spent way too much time drinking with Ted Kennedy, and basking in the hero’s limelight. He doesn’t know the difference between honorable political compromise, and right versus wrong in the most fundamental way.

That’s why I could never make it in politics, because I thought making it illegal to kidnap,rape and murder Christians was a step in the right direction.Not to mention co-operating with Israel to control the Sinai and Gaza threat.

Another thing about Egypt. This is the sort of state we can look forward to if we ever fall into a minority like the Copts. Western liberals need to look this in the face. Turkey was the center of Christendom as Constantinopolitan Rome. Today the population is 0.9 Christian. It used to be Greek speaking. It used to be Western in a recognizable way. This can happen to places like London, Paris, Berlin, Rome.

David Pryce-Jones, in the August 19 edition of National Review makes some interesting points about the current crisis in Egypt. I’ll give a flavor:
In the current context of Egypt, it would be a Eurocentric conceit to treat the lexicon of “election”, “coup,” “liberal” and “secular, “democracy” … and suchlike as having familiar meanings with the same validity everywhere. … President Obama foreclosed on the decades of Amerian support for Mubarak and so is largely responsible for Egypt’s present predicament. He now says, “The United States to believe firmly that the best foundation for lasting stability in Egypt is a democratic political order with participation from all sides and all political parties- secular and religious, civilian and military.” In the purest Eurocentric manner, this prescription has no connection with reality, no prospect of being more than verbiage.
In reality, Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood’s intention to transform Egypt into an Islamist experiment is a good deal more like a coup than anything Sisi has done, and Sisi is at least as close to representative democracy as the Brotherhood, and probably closer.
Odd to think of Obama as having a “Eurocentric” perspective- but I guess Pryce-Jones didn’t mean that term in a good way :~. Obama is probably incapable of realizing that “democracy” cannot fluorish without a prepared populace- something of which the founding fathers of the USA were keenly aware, but modern politicians ignore at the nation’s peril. Allow it to be noted that one Larry S questions whether or not a society in which an overwhelming percentage (something like 70% in Egypt) of the population support the death penalty for those who dare to leave the “predominant” religion is capable of supporting a “Eurocentric” version of democracy.
The surreal nature of Obama’s vision of Egypt is perhaps best illustrated by the claim, made by a former Israeli government official, (sorry, I forget who) who claimed that a knowledgeable Egyptian military officer told him that Morsi actually lost the election, but that the military, fearing the MB’s reaction, “stuffed the ballot box” (my terminology) to ensure Morsi’s victory. If that is true (and it sounds plausible), Obama is simply following the forms of representative democracy, totally ignoring the reality of it.
FWIW, I suspect that few societies- particularly low trust ones like Arab societies- can quickly move from autocratic rule to a genuine representative democracy in which the rights of minorities are respected.

Thanks Pamela. I just wrote the White House and my two Federal Senators to maintain aid to Egypt.

Now that the Egyptian Military are going to protect the Christian Copts, our “Christian” Present is going to stop supporting the Egyptian Military. Typical… In other words, it’s want we should have expected.
Ambassador Bolton advised against stopping military aid to the Egyptian Military and Amb. Bolton has more foreign affairs “smarts” than all the Obamaroids, combined. I have never heard Amb. Bolton with an unwise view of foreign affairs, ever… But you can bet that Obama & Co. will find some way to bungle Egypt and turn it into another Iran such that Jimmy Carter would be proud of them.

For years, our political leaders have asked for an Arab country to stand up to Islamic extremists. Egypt finally does and now our leaders want to withdraw financial and military support. Up is down and white is black.
Don’t trust any politician over 60. If they lasted that long, they are definitely bought and paid for.

It is no surprise that the muslim in our White House is supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. What is truly unbelievable is that idiots like John McCain are now singing the same tune.

The reality is we should NOT support Egypt,there is only going to be CHAOS because NO Muslim country can operate Democratically.There is really no right and wrong in Islam thee a ONLY different levels of zealotry.Without a benevolent Dictator over them the Muslim populace ALWAYS turns on itself.The ONLY solution to the Egyptian problem is to let”allah”sort it out.

the army needs the aid we give it in order to fight the very people Obama is backing (the Muslim Brotherhood). thankfully Russia and Saudi Arabia have vowed to increase aid to the army and opposition to the Brotherhood, which could help a little.
