Haven't they been our allies for the last couple of decades? If not why do we give them so much foreign aid?

Obama is right, at least they aren't any more...thanks to him in part. Even a broke clock is right twice a day.
Heard Rand Paul say that he is introducing an amendment to a pending bill...to cut off Egypt's bucks. Libya too. Been after Pakistan for months. This oughta make it happen. If Obama and the Dems even touch this, it'll be like that 'third rail'. They won't.
Though I did hear John Bolton say that we shouldn't cut them flat off...just severe punishment. Carrot and stick.

He put them in power basically 
How are they going to continue to backpedal on such major issues in the last 2 weeks. It's all about getting back in the White House for these guys.

That's because the thing that Middle Easterners and Muslims respect the least ... is an ass-kisser.
And he went over there and kissed their asses.

To be nice to our best buddy in the world, Egypt got no (significant) foreign aid from the US till they made peace with Israel then the tap was opened up.

the way this stuff is going down it could be the nail in the coffin for obama against mittens? thoughts?
I predicted obama to win especially against a moderate like mittens but this could put him over the hump. not to mention if people see he has failed economically here. but i am not counting on that.
