March 04, 2013
One of John Kerry's first acts as Secretary of State is to follow through
with yet another gift to the radical regime now running Egypt. Egypt's
leadership under the Muslim Brotherhood – a terrorist organization -- will
be the recipient of $250 million in foreign aid, part of a deal promised by
the Obama administration in 2011. Here are some details from the New York
Times:
The aid announced Sunday consists of two parts. One is a $190 million
infusion for Egypt’s budget intended to address what Mr. Kerry said was the
country’s “extreme needs.” That assistance has already been approved by
Congress.
Mr. Kerry also pledged $60 million for the creation of a fund to support
small businesses, which will provide “direct support to key engines of
democratic change in Egypt, including Egypt’s entrepreneurs and its young
people.”
Why the Obama administration insists on following through with this aid is
beyond me. How can we be sure that this money will even be used to support
small businesses? I suppose we are to trust Egyptian President Mohammed
Morsi, who once referred to the Israeli people as “the descendents of apes
and pigs, war mongers and blood-suckers.”
This just adds to the list of aid that we are giving to the radical Morsi
regime. Keep in mind that by the end of this year, Egypt will be the
recipient of 20 F-16s and 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks from the United States.
Egypt is already the recipient of $1.3 billion in aid every year from the
American taxpayers. Yet despite Mohammed Morsi, a member of the Muslim
Brotherhood, becoming president, the United States continues to send aid and
equipment with little question, only promises of reform. It's a little
difficult to believe that rational reforms will be made in the interest of
the Egyptian people by a man who believes Israelis – our closest allies in
the region -- are the descendents of apes and pigs. That's not exactly
rational. I think we're still being played for suckers here. |
