America sending military equipment to Morsy

Obama responds to turmoil in Egypt by giving Muslim Brotherhood government $213 million in taxpayer-funded F-16s







These sure will come in handy
when Egypt goes to war with Israel. And note the U.S. justifications
for this at the end of the article: "The U.S.-Egypt defense relationship
has served as the cornerstone of our broader strategic partnership for
over thirty years." No recognition whatsoever that the situation in
Egypt has radically changed, and is going to change further. "US sending
20 more F-16s to Egypt, despite turmoil in Cairo," by Maxim Lott for [وحدهم المديرون لديهم صلاحيات معاينة هذا الرابط], December 10 (thanks to Kenneth):

Instability in Egypt, where a newly-elected Islamic
government teeters over an angry population, isn't enough to stop the
U.S. from sending more than 20 F-16 fighter jets, as part of a $1
billion foreign aid package.

The first four jets are to be delivered to Egypt beginning Jan. 22, a
source at the naval air base in Fort Worth, where the planes have been
undergoing testing, told FoxNews.com. The North African nation already
has a fleet of more than 200 of the planes and the latest shipment
merely fulfills an order placed two years ago. But given the uncertainty
in Cairo, some critics wonder if it is wise to be sending more top gun
planes....


The U.S. government ordered and paid for the fighter jets for Egypt's
military as part of foreign aid for Egypt back in 2010, when Hosni
Mubarak ruled. The fighter jets were supposed to be delivered in 2013,
and delivery will go ahead as scheduled even though Hosni Mubarak has
been removed from power and replaced by Mohamed Morsi, who led the
Muslim Brotherhood before becoming Egypt's president.


Morsi was democratically elected, but last month attempted to seize
dictatorial powers for himself. After widespread protests and violence
in Egypt's capital of Cairo, Morsi backed off from his power grab. But
he is pushing through a controversial new constitution for Egypt that
would more strictly enforce Islamic Shariah law, and only recently said
he reserves the right to have the military arrest protesters without
charges.


"The Morsi-led Muslim Brotherhood government has not proven
to be a partner for democracy as they had promised, given the recent
attempted power grab," a senior Republican congressional aide told FoxNews.com.


Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, (R-Fla.), who chairs the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, recently criticized U.S. military aid to Egypt:


“The Obama administration wants to simply throw money at an
Egyptian government that the president cannot even clearly state is an
ally of the United States,” Rep. Ros-Lehtinen said.


The $213 million order, which is paid for by U.S. taxpayers and is part of Egypt's foreign aid package from America, had to be approved by lawmakers in Washington....


A Pentagon spokesman said the U.S. and Egypt have an important alliance that is furthered by the transfer.


"The U.S.-Egypt defense relationship has served as the cornerstone of
our broader strategic partnership for over thirty years," said Lt. Col.
Wesley Miller. "The delivery of the first set of F-16s in January 2013
reflects the U.S. commitment to supporting the Egyptian military's
modernization efforts. Egyptian acquisition of F-16s will increase our
militaries' interoperability, and enhance Egypt's capacity to contribute
to regional mission sets."


Last month, State Department official Andrew J. Shapiro explained why
the administration plans to continue military aid to Egypt:


“I know that the uncertainty over the Egyptian transition has
prompted some in Congress to propose conditioning our security
assistance to Egypt. The administration believes that putting conditions
on our assistance to Egypt is the wrong approach, and Secretary Clinton
has made this point strongly. Egypt is a pivotal country in the Middle
East and a long-time partner of the United States. We have continued to
rely on Egypt to support and advance U.S. interests in the region,
including peace with Israel, confronting Iranian ambitions, interdicting
smugglers, and supporting Iraq,” he said.

That was Mubarak's Egypt. Morsi's Egypt, even if it has to make tactical concessions now, will ultimately prove to be different.

sure these news?????????????????

What do you mean emy with your answer? You don't believe that Obama and Hillary sending the aid to Morsy? Or you don't believe that Morsy didn't give concessions? Or you don't think that both and the Congress with the Senate don't give a damn if Egypt becomes like Afghanistan while they have the military under USA control and on their payroll. So if Morsy or his gang don't obey USA, then the military will take care of them

Lord have mercy of America, which intervened in the affairs of poor countries like Egypt for their own interests and that found with the system Morsy optimal system for the implementation of this and ignore the effects of the destruction that solves peoples as a result of ambitions in the region and finally We very much hope in our Lord save us from the U.S. and Morsy and his gang.
Please pray for us and for our country Egypt
