I still don't comprehend why a nation one year's GDP in debt is doing free handouts to anyone. Egypt is just the most idiotic example right now.

I don't support any aid to the Middle East, but we currently have a treaty to give Egypt certain things to leave Israel alone, and vice versa. This doesn't change the terms of the treaty as far as I'm aware.

We are just supplying extra work for the American MIC. We are just dumping the weapons, in some perverted form of hopeful bribery, on Egypt, because there is no more room in Israel to store the things. Why anyone is surprised by the AIC (Arab In Charge) considering us their enemy I cannot fathom. All Islamic politicians consider us their enemy because we provide an alternative to their insane Patriarchal Theocracy. For something as absurd and cruel as Islam to work it must have an unchallengeable monopoly on belief and thought. They will kill all of us nonbelievers for the sin on not believing. In their minds there must be NO ALTERNATIVE to living an Islamic life.

We are, by default, Islam's enemy. It is, by its existence, is ours. We just have not recognized that yet. We really do need to end our Forever War on Terrorism with the Last Crusade or intellectual, religious and secular freedom will be lost for eternity.

You might have to explain to some of those supporters what being "In Denial" means, and you'll have to explain to them that it's not swimming in a river in Egypt.

Interesting that budget hawks insist on funding new builds of military equipment the Army did not ask for, does not need or want and so we bestow gifts of fighter jets and tanks on Egypt. And then we blame the Obama.

I'm not sure what relevence your statement about funding our military has to do with the original topic, Obama helped Egypt with 1.3 billion dollars, plus the F16 fighters and other military equipment, and we're blaming Obama because people like the guy on the video, with a mindset that sees the United States and Israel as their enemies don't deserve our help.

They do not care. The liberal population of this country could care less what Obummer does. In fact, he has a blank check to do whatever it is he wants too. Just look at the scandal's in the past 6 months? How many liberals have you read on here which have lambasted Obummer for ANYTHING.

Hope and Change? Transparency? Government business done on CSPAN? Obummer Care not costing a dime? Ending key parts of the Patriotic Act? NONE have been done and I could go on.

These liberals only care about one thing: Getting more entitlement checks, getting their "social safety net" increased, at the costs of someone other then themselves. Obummer is doing that. And therefore, these liberals will stand in line with their kneepads on. Obummer could be a child rapist and the liberals would say it was a lie manufactured by Halliburton and Bush.
