U.S. quietly allows military aid to Egypt despite rights concerns
Secretary of State John Kerry quietly acted last month to give Egypt $1.3 billion in U.S. military aid, deciding that this was in the national interest despite Egypt's failure to meet democracy standards.
Kerry made the decision well before an Egyptian court this week convicted 43 democracy workers, including 16 Americans, in what the United States regards as a politically motivated case against pro-democracy non-governmental organizations.
Rights groups believe Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi is retreating from democratic freedoms, notably in a new civil society law and in proposals for judicial reform that critics see as a way to purge judges perceived as hostile to the government.
Despite stating in a May 9 memo that "we are not satisfied with the extent of Egypt's progress and are pressing for a more inclusive democratic process and the strengthening of key democratic institutions," Kerry said the aid should go forward.
The one lever we have over these pig-fsckers and Kerry caves. This despite 16 of our own citizens being convicted in an Egyptian court.
These assholes are sniggering to our faces and laughing out loud when our backs are turned. None of this taxpayer money will go to foster Democracy -- it will go into the pockets of about ten people -- $130,000,000 is not a bad haul just for meeting with a stupid american
dhimmi and shaking his hand. Bonus points for using your left hand to shake...
