US House Blocks Obama Administration’s Plan to Send $450 Million to Egypt

WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) — The Obama administration’s plan to transfer $450 million in cash to Egypt hit a roadblock Friday as a top House committee chairwoman blocked the move, saying it warrants further review.
Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, said the State Department had notified Congress of plans to move the money to the new government of President Mohammed Morsi as Cairo struggles economically. The money is part of the nearly $1 billion in debt relief that President Barack Obama had promised the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Egypt earlier this year.
“This proposal comes to Congress at a point when the U.S.-Egypt relationship has never been under more scrutiny, and rightly so,” the chairwoman of the Appropriations subcommittee on foreign operations said in a statement. “I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I cannot support it at this time. … I have placed a hold on these funds.”
The relationship between the United States and Egypt has been rocky since the overthrow of U.S. ally President Hosni Mubarak last year. The Egyptian government angered Washington when it cracked down on numerous democracy advocates and groups, including three U.S.-funded nongovernmental organizations, earlier this year.
It also doesn’t help matters that Morsi has promised to push the U.S. to release convicted radical Islamist terrorist Omar Abdel Rahman, also known as the “Blind Sheikh.” In fact, when he was elected, Morsi called the Blind Sheikh’s release a matter of great importance to him.

In an article with the headline “Morsi’s Election Can’t Erase Radical Record,” the Algemeiner lays out just a portion of the Egyptian leader’s radical roots:
In a 2005 article touting Muslim Brotherhood parliamentary candidates, Morsi invoked the Brotherhood’s motto in making the case that “Islam is the solution”:
“God is our goal. The Messenger is our example. The Quran is our constitution; Jihad is our way and death for the sake of God the highest aspiration.”
He repeated that theme during a campaign appearance last May, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) showed, leading the crowd in chanting “The Quran is our constitution. The Prophet Muhammad is our leader. Jihad is our path. And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration.”
That could help explain his affection for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which was created to be a terrorist branch of the Brotherhood, and which has a series of anti-Semitic statements in its charter.
More recently, demonstrators breached the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to protest an anti-Islam video, and some in Congress have called for cutting off aid. The United States provides Egypt with $1.55 billion annually – $250 million in economic aid and $1.3 billion in military aid.
The cash transfer would have come from money that had already been appropriated.
A senior State Department official said the United States remains committed to a democratic transition in Egypt and still sees support for economic growth as a vital way to protect peace and security. The official said the administration would work with Congress in the next days and weeks to make the case that the budget is in U.S. interests.
The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing negotiations and discussed the situation on condition of anonymity.
Last December, Congress made foreign assistance to Egypt, including the military financing, contingent on a determination that the government “is supporting the transition to civilian government including holding free and fair elections; implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association and religion and due process of law.”

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 9:00amWhat’s it going to take for these imbeciles to understand
that they can NO longer bypass the American Taypaying Citizens
and play “Robin Hood” with OUR money-
domestically or to foreign lands, especially threatening enemies ?
Is it going to take a full blown tax revolt ?
The government won’t go after FRAUD on any concerted level
but Oblameo did stimulate the economy, right from the get-go
by hiring a couple thousand new IRS “officers”.
In the case of a tax revolt-
I’m sure the tyrant, King George Oblama
would quickly & gladly
jail all the hard-working, tax-paying, American citizens,
while he releases the Blind Shiehk, Gitmo detainees,
terrorists under-any-other-name
& any other commie, rabble-rouser.
If these eggheads insist on MISREPRESENTING the
American Citizens with OUR money,
shoveling it up the very gloryholes of radicals
who wish to harm us,
spit & spawn anti-American misbehavior
& pull our freedom chain-
WE have EVERY right to put OUR government on notice-
that sooner or later, something has got to give
& it’s NO longer coming OUT of OUR pockets.
Remember, Eastwood’s words-
“they work for us, not the other way around”.
We are their employers, they SERVE us !
It’s about time they wrap their rotten, little heads around that
& start paying attention to the American People
before it’s too late.
Keep pushing, America,

How can they conscienably send money and release terrorists to a country that so obviously hates us and our way of life? If Egypt supports freedom of expression, how do they justify Morsi trying to end people speaking out about their false prophet and their ancient hate based religion. He doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he not only supports killing in the name of his religion, he encourages it and says it is the loftiest of goals. Are Demoncrats just that effing stupid?

Posted on September 30, 2012 at 5:57pm@wordsofwisdom……You are absolutely correct. The democrats will do anything to support Obama including sending $450 Million to our sworn enemies, in this case the Muslim Brotherhood. We have at least one republican in office that has some stones. I am sure there will be death threats against her and a reward for her demise. That is what the Brotherhood seems to do best. I cannot believe that a president of The United States is still bowing and supporting an organization that has publicly endorsed the destruction of the US and Israel. These people, the Muslim Brotherhood and their followers, are so mentally unstable that they go insane when they perceive an insult to their “prophet”. It is almost unbelievable that the Egyptian people voted for the Muslim Brotherhood to control their government. Mubarak’s term as the leader of Egypt is going to seem like a walk in the park compared to the atrocities that have and will be perpetrated on the Egyptian people. How can any country vote to put themselves under the rule of Sharia law?

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 9:52pmThat’s one thing I liked about Ron Paul. He said to stop all foreign monitary and military aid and take care of ourselves. Money cannot buy friends. They think we’re stupid and try to get more.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 11:00pmI am certainly not a Ron Paul fan but I do agree that we should NEVER EVER send another cent in foreign aid until our own mess is fixed. A friend you have to buy is no friend at all. NO MORE FOREIGN AID!

Let’s give credit where credit is due. It is the RNC that did the damage.
Now instead of having a real Statesman on the ballot, we have a treasonous EO-writting “man” and milktoast Mittens to choose.

I listened to people that wanted Ron Paul to be the RNC candidate, they offered very convincing arguments regarding his knowledge of the Federal Reserve, his position on continuing the wars in the Arab world, and other points involving our federal government in general. Yet when I realize his Anti-Semitism, only vaguely hidden, he was not a candidate I would ever support. I could never support a candidate for any public office that Anti-Semitism is a part of their belief system. On this issue alone, a president cannot lead a nation of many faiths and belief. It’s just an American version of an Islamic caliphate behavior.

Does an anti-semite congressman vote in favor of Israel doing what is in her best interest, instead of crawling to the USA and begging for permission?
If you would do your research you will discover that Ron Paul believes Israel is a sovereign nation who can do what she deems best for her own people.
But Ron Paul will not be our president. The RNC made damn sure of that.

We can install a puppet governor and name him Ali Aqbar bin Camel-froggin and ask for a few billion in tax dollars to get us rollin. Knowing Achmed Barack Oli-bama is muslim underneath his thin veil of Wright-brand quasi-Christianity he will froth at the chance to show allah of the west that he is subservient.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 11:31pmGreat comment. An obvious truth that seems to be ignored by our government. The bigger question is why do we arm both sides in this Middle East conflict? We give foreign aid to Israel and the Palestinians. The Europeans also give hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinians. How does this help resolve the conflict? It doesn’t, it just keeps it going and keeps up the pressure on Israel. We are either for Israel or against Israel. If they are our ally we need to support them, not their enemies. The enemies of Israel are also the enemies of the United States, they seek to destroy all of us. Why support your enemy? Why has President Obama sent hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinians? Why does he want to forgive a billion dollars in Egyptian debt that will benefit the Muslim Brotherhood? Whose side is he on?

So WHERE WAS YOUR DIVINE INTERVENTION TO PROTECT THESE CITIZENS AGAINST THIS MINDLESS ATTACK??!?!?!?!!?!?!?! You, Mr. President have major blood on your hands! If the Liberal faction in this country doesn’t wake-up and SOON we are going to be lamenting in the streets OURSELVES over our sons and daughters as are these poor bastards from not speaking out against a tyrannical government that DOES NOT HAVE THEIR BEST INTEREST AT HEART!!!! You may confuse the mortals on this earth but you have not confused GOD and I pray to Him in earnest that you never have another opportunity to govern anything on this earth. Hillary Clinton is a liar and only helping YOUR cause to deflect what may have happened in Cairo to that of Libya and she too will pay her own heavy personal price with God and at the polls for her part in this cover-up. I think the Devil has an appointment already setup for you and those in your administration.

My Spirit agrees within me on that and the Holy Spirit is always right. Obama needs to be knocked off his pitchfork, once andfor all. Satan always works thru men who are NOT righteous (in right-standing before God). Satan is using Obama to further his agenda against God’s people. If you do not believe it, then goody for you. God will repay those who hurt His people IN ANY WAY…….soon enough….. Obama will be rewarded soon enough…..

Always be on guard against this by being aware of the feeling that you are superior to any other human and may look down on them with disgust. When you feel hatred toward someone who is a sinner just like you, maybe of a different flavor, know that the “venom” certainly does NOT come from God.

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 12:05pm@Exrepublisheep: I try to always be HUMBLE in spirit! I am backing up what the Bible itself states to be TRUE. Followers of Christ can be ANGRY, BUT SIN NOT, if you understand that! (Ephesians 4:26). WE NEED MORE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST TO SPEAK THE TRUTH! Glenn is doing that. A lot of ministers are doing that. So, what are you doing FOR CHRIST?
A LOT of followers of Christ ARE angry, that is, TRUE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST, those who pray daily and serve God and are not harmful to others. To NOT speak out, means you have spoken.
Obama IS AN EVIL MAN and yes, I have had Satan attack me almost on a daily basis, BUT I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY SALVATION OR MY GOD. But, I WILL TELL THE TRUTH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS. Jesus did it and it killed him. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TELL THE TRUTH TACTFULLY. I pretty much did that, so stop trying to find fault with everything everyone says when they TELL THE TRUTH. If you cannot handle it, then go elsewhere.
I am waiting for the Rapture.
I am waiting for Jesus to come back and call those who have served Him.
In the meantime, I am doing everything I can to TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT EVIL AND THE EVIL THAT DWELLS WITHIN CERTAIN MEN – LIKE OBAMA AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM.
Have a problem with that? THEN, TALK TO GOD ABOUT IT, NOT ME.

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 2:26am‘when you look at the different branches of Congress it is the House of Representatives that controls the money flow since it was originally setup that way since the Senate was to be the representatives of the State Governors or Legislators by being appointed to the Senate. That changed 100 years ago when Woodrow Wilson saw that he could have trouble finding enough Senators for pushing his agenda in Congress. He had Congress amend the way Senators are sent to Congress, instead of being appointed they would be elected just like the House members are and that unbalanced the power structure ever since.
But they kept the House in charge of the money they collected in taxes. So any House member could have done this same thing.

this is the most spineless administration in the history of the US. the most offensive part of the ordeal is not that this islamic fanatic has the balls to to tell the GREATEST (yes GREATEST, despite some of our downfalls) nation on earth what we ought to restrict our people from saying. the most offensive aspect is that our government would seek to tax hard working middle class folks to pay for this subsidizing nonsense. if you are going to tax me, spend it on paying down our deficit or fixing social security and medicare. oh, and by the way, anyone who thinks the middle class stops being middle class at $75k income is bat-**** insane. good luck raising a family on less than that amount of money anywhere in the NYC, LA, DC, SF or Boston metro areas.
