Egypt is a democracy and valuable ally in the ME.
So supplying them with state of the art weapons is a Win = Win for the United States.
It's becoming an islamist dictatorship.
Or do you support absolute control in one mans hands?
That's really up to Egypt.

The cabinet would not pass any reform projects for Egypt, they kept denying everything Morsi wanted to pass for Egyptian infrastructure, etc.
That's the only reason he went with this move so he can pass these. But he took it back already, and now Egypt still has protests. Which means those paid few thousand protesters are hacks hired to stir up problems and destabalize Egypt.
They should be arrested from now for harming Egypts interests. Baredi is not someone to be trusted. Someone from outside is pushing for these protests because they want the Muslim Brotherhood to crash. Of course those are western countries who bring nothing but corruption to the Middle East and violence. We don't want thier opinions anymore.
They want to be left alone, they don't want your meddling anymore. Understand that American folks, it's not your world.
Then stop begging for our money and supplies.
and fyi; obama will back muslims when the going gets tuff. and he already backs that tyrant morsi

You're an idiot. Learn about the Israeli Egyptian peace treaty and something called interests.
Regardless of the government in Egypt, The USA has to support Egypt.

So; "Give us billions of dollars and billions more in weapons, but fuck off otherwise!!"
oh the irony of your hypocrisy
I believe the US has a history of arming a country or few then regretting it.
You armed Iran.
You armed Iraq.
You armed Afghanistan.
You armed Egypt.
You armed Israel.
Egypt builds their tanks in Egypt. And hopefully they can get all weapons and advanced technology.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make sure the country is more stable before we just start throwing money and weapons in their lap? people are still rioting there.
It's not right to stir problems just because you don't like what the majority brought to power.

Please tell that to the GOP. They've been doing that since 2008.
We need to start programing back door kill switches into military supplies we sell/give to the world.
What's odd about these threads regarding the Middle East is they actually aren't about the Middle East, they are fishy ways to bash the Democratic Party and Obama....
I actually always fall for it and think its a discussion about the ME. I like discussing the ME. Yet it always comes down to Obama....odd.

.Based on the strong historical support for freedom of speech evidence by these quotes, you could be forgiven for thinking that any attempts by foreigners to infringe upon American speech in our own country would prompt our nation to do something about it. But, apparently, we are living in new times. President Obama has already said at the UN that (t)he future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Perhaps he believes that a little thing like the First Amendment in the US Constitution should not be allowed to get in the way.
In fact, instead of objecting to this kind of Egyptian bad behavior, the US continues to reward it. The American foreign aid money keeps flowing to Egypt. Roughly $1.5 billion a year, most of it military aid. Over $50 billion total since 1979. There are new proposals by President Obama for $1billion in debt relief for Egypt. And through international organizations like the IMF, even more American aid is coming.
Technically, much of this aid is conditioned on good behavior by the Egyptian regime, but the dirty little secret is that the Obama Administration always waives these restrictions when they arent met by President Morsi. And no bad behavior stops them. When President Morsi first won his term, he immediately demanded the release of convicted terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman, i.e., the Blind Sheikh, the spiritual and terrorist leader for the first Islamist attack against the World Trade Center that killed six U.S. citizens. Silence from the Obama Administration. Morsi allowed Islamist protestors to overrun the US Embassy in Cairo sovereign US territory and raise the black flag of the Islamists. President Obama did nothing. The Morsi regime continues to suppress protests by ordinary Egyptians, most horrifically by paying gangs to go out and rape women and beat men who are demonstrating in opposition to Morsis new judicial immunity and new dictatorship. No objections for the US. The MB-led Egypt is rushing to institute Sharia law, a barbaric code of law which requires that raped women be put to death for adultery. No complaints came from Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Morsis Administration has presided over a regime that slaughters and discriminates against Egyptian Copts. The crickets are chirping in the US government. Figures in the MB call for another genocide against Jews. Never mind, the Administration says, rather than never again
Women’s Rights at Odds in Egypt’s Constitution Wars
The political battle raging on Cairo’s streets is focused on President Mohamed Morsi’s autocratic actions in his efforts to rush through his draft constitution, but the anxiety of those on the street are equally based on the content of that constitution. One of the most bitterly divisive disputes is over the question of women’s rights in a post-Mubarak Egypt, and its resolution could have profound consequences not only for tens of millions of Egyptian women but also for the rights of women in post-revolution Tunisia and Libya. Thousands of women were at the forefront of the protest marches that poured into Tahrir Square in January 2011, and many expressed the view that in joining the struggle to bring down Mubarak, they were fighting also for their personal liberty.
But whether that goal is achieved could depend on how Egyptians vote on Dec. 15, and after that, on how judges interpret the resulting constitution. Many activists deem women’s rights a political litmus test that determines whether leaders are willing to put civil rights above religious edicts when the two are in conflict. For Egyptian women, the outcome of the constitutional dispute between Islamists and secularists could affect their ability to inherit property, to pass on citizenship to their children, to earn equal pay for equal work and even to make decisions independently of male family members. “The role of women in society has been a contentious issue since the start of the transition,” Isobel Coleman, director of the women-and-foreign-policy program at the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote on Dec. 4. The draft constitution, she argued, “does not proactively provide for equality.”

Egypt: Amid Battle over New Constitution, Fight for Women
President Mohamed Morsi is our puppet. Hillary will not allow any oppression of women. This stuff is all a show to establish his legitimacy to the Muslim Brotherhood. He made peace with Israel when we told him to. He will avert the oppression of women when Hillary gives him the signal. He has the brotherhood eating out of his hands & protecting him even as he counters them.

The muslim brotherhood is no puppet you idiot. There are no islamist puppets they'll use idiots like you for all they can get as they consolidate their power should we be sending Egypt advanced F16s before we even see how things are going play out there? No only a fool would do such a thing

You do not understand the tactics discovered by Niccolo Machiavelli or Sun Tzu & many others. You are getting worked up over nothing.
