And agreeing that Obama is a failure doesn't mean I want him to start yet ANOTHER no reason for/no win war. Wasn't Libya enough? Did we learn nothing from Iraq? Before we invaded Iraq, Iraq was the natural foil for Iranian aggression, paid for with Arab/Muslim money. Now, Iraq is less of a foil, but paid for with American money. |

First of all, you appear to know nothing at all about Huma Abedin, her mother, and her involvement with the MB. She's not a Jew, she's Muslim. Sheez. Secondly, this quote from that stupid article says it all: Quote:
The MB was the one going around killing people during these protests. They were the one organizing mobs to burn down churches and non-muslim-owned businesses. They were the ones raping journalists. They were the ones that killed 24 policemen in Gaza in cold blood. That violence? I know you have a big problem with us sending $1.3 to Egypt each year, I'm not happy with it either but is was part of the deal that was made by Jimmah Carter in the accords, and the military is the one who are keeping their part of the deal in those accords. Morsi was in the process of installing an Islamic government and replacing their relatively secular government. Egypt relies on tourism for almost their entire economy. An Islamist sharia government does not make a tourist-friendly place. Like Turkey in the 1920's, the military stepped in to remove a guy who had subverted his office and was trying to use his power to enslave the entire country in an Islamic sharia-ruled hell. |

But no; this blithering idiot fiddle-forks around, letting our enemies and allies know he doesn't have a clue, hasn't had a clue, and wonders who might , some day, provide him with a clue (clearly it's not going to be Ghingus Kerry). Meanwhile, (while they're giggling at his ineptitude, all the military assets are being hid. |

Also, I agree that before the Army coup, the folks doing the killing were the MB. The article correctly reports, though, that the tables were turned, with the Army killing the MB miscreants. Do I think the MB folks that were burning down churches deserved to get killed? Yep. Karma, baby. Do I think we should be paying for that? Nope. The bottom line, however, is, as you stated, we have no business paying off anyone in Egypt, period. Carter was idealistic, and wrong. You can't buy friends. Paying off Egypt to play nice with Israel is like my Mom tying a pork chop around my neck to get the dog to play with me. The dog doesn't give a crap about me, he just wants the pork chop, and when there is no more pork chop, the "friendship" disappears. |

And Anthony Wiener is a Jew in the same way I'm English and German. Yeah, at some point somebody I was related to lived in those countries, or something. He only trots it out at erection, er election time. Thing is Obama and Clinton have been MB nut-huggers for a long time. I'm far more concerned about that than the ongoing payments to Egypt or Israel or Germany or Japan or the Philippines or the other bazillion places we lavish our money upon. The MB are serious bad news, and it appears that at the highest levels of our government, well, we've been infiltrated. |

Well, here is more ammo for my viewpoint...
(from a rabidly leftist silly man, but still... If this guy agrees with me, we are headed into uncharted territory...) |
