Screw Democracy!… Obama Administration Will Give Muslim Brotherhood $1.5 Billion in US Aid

The Obama administration told Congress on
Thursday it will waive democracy requirements to release up to $1.5
billion in aid to Egypt despite concerns that the country is backsliding
on commitments it made to democratic governance and rule of law.


U.5 officials and lawmakers said Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton has determined that it was in the U.S. national interest
to allow $1.3 billion in military assistance to flow.
She also
certified that Egypt is meeting its obligations to the Israeli-Egyptian
peace treaty, which frees up an additional $200 million in economic aid,
they said.


A senior State Department official said the decisions “reflect our
overarching goal: to maintain our strategic partnership with an Egypt
made stronger and more stable by a successful transition to democracy.”


The official spoke on condition of anonymity because congressional
notifications are not complete. Clinton will sign the waiver on Friday,
the official said.


U.S. officials had said last week that Clinton was poised to grant
the waiver because she could not certify that Egypt was in full
compliance with the democracy requirements of law.


Sen. Patrick Leahy, who wrote the legislation imposing conditions on the aid, said he was “dissapointed” by the decision.

    Congress needs to burn obama-soetoro's check book, ground Air Force One, arrest the commie traitor/spy (and all his cronies) - -try them for treason and stand them up "in front of" a US military firing squad. That would be "true justice", since none of them will stand "behind" our military or support them!

    Yeah, it's not a great situation in the middle east. One could stay......there's been some instability.

    We give alot of money to Egypt every year. It's been that way for a long time. If you look at US foreign aid, Israel and Egypt are at the top of the list. It's been that way for a number of administrations. I think it's too much, but this is the kind of stuff China is doing. "Check book diplomacy" and China is writing checks without without conditions. The next president, who ever he is, is going to have difficultly not giving aid to Egypt, Israel, Pakistan, and many others.

    We, as Americans, pay a substantial price for our navy, which protects the international sea lanes. Yeah, we pay too much, but no other country in the world is going to replace us. China, India, the EU? No way. No other country is going to step up any time soon and help with the responsibility of leading the world. It doesn't matter which party gets into the white house after this election. Both will have to deal with the realities of the whole world.

    Is that what our muslim leader uses,-"waivers"? I guess they approve of the demon-cratic persecution and murder of Coptic christians taking place. Sure they'll take our money while the muslim Brotherhood takes more and more freedoms from the Egyptian peoples. And eventually when the MB has complete control they will violate the peace treaty with Israel.

    WTF?


    The MB is financed by contributions from its members, who are required to allocate a portion of their income to the movement.




    several documents on the Muslim Brotherhood. One of these documents, dated in 1991, explains that the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. is "settlement," defined by the brotherhood as a form of jihad aimed at destroying Western civilisation from within and allowing for the victory of Islam over other religions.

    I'm against giving aid to any other Country while we are in such a bad economic situation. If they want to barter or borrow it that could be another sitution. Why do we as American Citizens have to support the rest of the World. I can see in a grave situation such an natural disaster but why do we give other countries like Saudi Arabia our tax dollars. I don't recall there ever being a National Vote to hand out our money to other countries of whom some we can't even trust. And they say that Social Security is going broke. Take the billions in handouts to other countries and pay back the Social Security fund the money that the Government stole in the first place.

    However the baby of British Intelligence (M.B.) has been involved comfortably in our politics of both parties for some time. The Muslim Brotherhood has proven ties to terrorism, and has spawned many splinter groups that have perform terror activities around the world. In February, the head of the FBI spoke to a Congressional subcommittee on the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has in the war on terror.

    Sounds as though Clinton believes she is buying off the Muslim Brotherhood to keep them from attacking Israel. That should work about as well as when Chamberlain bought off Hitler by giving him the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia.

    These types of blogs are amusing, no offense intended. I will quote part of your article to help make my point.
    "She also certified that Egypt is meeting its obligations to the Israeli-Egyptian
    peace treaty, which frees up an additional $200 million in economic aid,
    they said."

    We have always paid the Egyptian government to be our friend, we have nothing much in common. Yet we have to be friends with them so we can pay them not to destroy Israel. If we do not do this then the president (Republican or Democrat) will be accused of throwing Israel under the bus.

    There is more to this story than meets the eye. I don't see the Muslim Brotherhood being mentioned. This is a extremely bias source. Though some people are too blind to see what is deeper.

    No it is not. Government. Their history is to massive that I don't even know where to start.

    They started off as a terrorist organization. Found the error in their ways and decided to promote Democracy and became a political group and more. Not until there was footage of them practicing Martial Arts Drills, that it was believed that they were trying to militarize, and they had to go back into hiding. Now they are back out, aiding the people in the Egypt Revolution. and they are trying to promote PEACE between Israelis and the Palestinians, and work out a way to have joint power of the land of Israel. But only ask Israel to stop with their mistreatment of the Palestinians. The are also trying to lessen the influence of Western Power in the Middle East and preserve their culture.

    Did you know that the average person of Islam is not a terrorist?

    wrong the muslim brotherhood is a Elite Nazi Jew Killing terrorist group who was created specifically by Hitler to wipe out the Jews and non muslims
    but in the this group of Nazi/Child Rapist/Women beaters and FASCIST thugs will bow to Israel

    those who attack Israel will fall and FALL Very Very Hard
