Obama White House: No Cutting Off Aid to Egypt

The Obama White House today stood by their financial commitments to fund the Egyptian regime despite the 9-11 attack on our embassy in Cairo.

The Politico reported:
Despite calls for ending foreign aid to Egypt in the wake of an attack on the U.S. embassy in Cairo, the White House is standing by funding commitments.
Asked on Air Force One Thursday if the United States would withhold aid, White House press secretary Jay Carney said simply: “No.”
Carney also told reporters that the partnership with Egypt continues as the country transitions into democracy — in the wake of President Obama’s comments Wednesday that Egypt was neither an ally nor an enemy.
Some Republicans on the Hill are pushing a change to the bill that funds the government through December to ban foreign aid to Egypt and Libya. A question to the White House for comment on that effort underway was not answered.
So… They’re not an ally, but we’re going to give them a billion dollars in aid anyway.
Makes perfect sense.

i wonder what the majority of the american people think about this. the problem is the politicans don’t care what the people think. i think all foreign aid should cease and that money returned to the american workers that had it taken out of their paycheck.

Until we replace the Office of President with someone who KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS the Islamic world and foreign policy we will NEVER be safe

By all means, send them more and don’t forget to arm the Marines with pea shooters.
Hoser commented:
How quaint.An act of war by radical zealots, of whom for the most part we have been warring for the past 12 years is not enough to cut funding.I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Hoser commented:

Our marines in Egypt would probably be happy with pea shooters as long as they were provided peas to shoot.As far as the firearms they carry, they are are not allowed ammunition, so they are basically clubs.

From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”…..Barack Obama
These are the words of our Muslim president. Yesterday he said he wouldn’t call them an ally,and he wouldn’t call them an enemy. I guess they are kinda like Bill Ayres, Egypt is just a guy in the neighborhood.

Ridiculous! Mitt Romney really screwed this one up, didn’t he?

Exactly.
100% correct.
It is JIZIYAH , and Hussain is doing his own ZAKAT with our taxpayer money.

Of course 0bama won’t cut off aid to Egypt. Egypt is a country controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. I suspect 0bama is a card carrying member of that gang of thugs. Anyhow it’s the Chicago Way, dontcha know, and 0bama’s heart and soul is Muslim.
JenBee commented:
And why would Obama stop aid to Egypt when his whole goal is to transfer America’s wealth to other countries?
redneck commented:
Anyone surprise?While destroying our military this regime is giving jihadists money to build up their military…….http://spectator.org/blog/2012/03/16/obama-admin-thwarts-congress-o…Folks if you not awake yet you soon will be.

This isn’t incompetence. It’s happening by design. If anyone doubts Obama is a Muslim has been eating from a bad batch of mushrooms.
