Obama Plans $450 Million Cash For Egypt

[WillowTree]

Yes, I know it's not. Know why? Cause we came over there and bailed your dumb asses out while Neville Chamberlain wrote letters of appeasement.

I know this will come as a shock to one as solipsistic as you - but a few other countries fought in WWII as well - and many of them were Europeans.

Finland is actually the only country to ever defeat on the battlefield.

(smile) You WOULD be speaking German if it weren't us "Americans".

We bailed you out, we rebuilt you and you never paid anything back.

You poor resentful kid.

Well he is paying us back, by shooting us with his middle finger. I hope the US isn't dumb enough to make the same mistake twice.

I deal with MANY Brits on a daily basis, they know who their friends are.

Ole Saigon here is on the dole....

 

[Unkotare]

Does it need to be pointed out AGAIN that the US gives almost twice as much in foreign aid as the next largest donor country (which ain't Finland)? Or that individual Americans give more to charity than any other people in the world BY FAR?

 

[Jroc]

Except that all major European nations give 200% - 300% more aid per capita than the US does, you mean.

It's a simple fact that the US does not carry its weight in development aid.


btw. German is patently NOT the primary European language.

Not even a thank you? Finland would be speaking German or Russian if not for the U.S.

I told you not to expect a Thank You.

What happend? where he or she go?...Thats rude

 

[Trajan]

some of you are not thinking this through. its how things work in Geo-politics. We are halving what we gave them in the past, its the old carrot and stick, obama has no other play, his rhetoric has failed so the only leverage left is $$$.

I am under no illusions, I don't think it will matter, but its the only play we have, if we cut them off entirely then they have zero reason to talk to us at all, it may not matter in the end but for now its all we got for now.

Aid? We rebuild the whole of Europe after WWII, we protected Europe from the expansion of the Soviet empire during the cold war, which cost us trillions. Where is the gratitude?

I think most Europeans are aware of the role the US played, and are genuinely grateful.

It was a global war, and doens of countries played a role, and my gratitude is not reserved for Americans alone. Australians, Candians and Indians all fought - and it wasn't really their war to fight.

Gratitude towards the US is made harder, though, by the repulsive attitudes American display towards Europe - arrogant, condescensing and solipsistic where those qualities rarely help.

American tax payers have spent trillions of dollar rebuilding and defending Europe and we continue to spend money in defense of Europe, So for you to come on here and say we don't give enough aid here or there? I'm sure you could understand why any American might be a bit upset at that assertion.

Really?

By pointing out that the US simply does not carry its weight when it comes to development aid?

Because to me that is simply a clear-cut fact - what the hell it has to do with WWII I can't imagine.

Again - the US gives 0.2% GDP per capita. The UN suggests 0.7% and some countries gives 1%.

What's the difference between the Muslim brotherhood and the a terrorist group?

[Too Tall]

The U.S. is always talking about spreading democracy and democratic ideals.

Egypt has now became a true democracy by the vote of the people.

Shouldn't America support that budding democracy anyway we can?

Cuba elected Fidel Castro and Venezuela elected Chavez. Should we support these budding democracies?

 

[Too Tall]

Willow Tree -

Egypt has been a democracy for 1 year.

then give them your countries monies, I'm sure they will thank you

Again - Finland already gives double the amount of per capita GDP that US does - and Finland is by no means a generous donor country.

It baffles me that posters here claim to support democracy and moderate Islam - but refuse to support either concept in practice.

How much money per capita do the churches and charitable institutions in Finland give to other countries? We in the US have missionaries in dozens of third world counties providing free food and medical care. George Bush provided BILLIONS to African nations fighting AIDS. The US percentage of support for UNESCO is considerably more than any 10 other countries combined.

Do you only count what is given directly by government to foreign governments?

The stats here are only government statistics, and you are absolutely correct that American citizens and churches give an enormous amount of aid. I do think Americans as individuals are a very generous people, but the fragmented nature of your aid means not all of it is well directed - or even well-intentioned.

Bush stopped American aid workers in Africa handing out condomns to prevent AIDS. Thanks George! That is Reallly Smart!

No, you should support those who help American interests.

Mursi does.

The extremists nutcases who want to overthrow him will not.

What I find interesting is, in the comments section for the NY Times article, it looks like even the liberal readers of the NY Times are outraged SO THEY CLOSED THE COMMENTS SECTION FOR THIS ARTICLE.

Is Obama insane? Is he TRYING TO LOSE THE ELECTION.

Even Carter froze the assets of the Iranians after they took our personnel at the embassy hostage in 1979.

But we have our embassy attacked AND OBAMA WANTS TO REWARD THEM???????????

And then you libs think Obama has this election in the bag?

This is the bonfire of the vanities people, and you libs are dancing on the edge of destruction!

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!



That's the point. Libs can't give us reason to vote for Obama. So all they can do is spam this forum with "Romney punched a kid in kindergarten" porn. It's just laughable!

Oh, by us! He'll just raise taxes, and print money.

Quantitative Easing, my dear. Quantitative Easing!

Oh, we are talking about Obama.

Oh my Allah, you mean!

Even Madonna says Obama is a black muslim.
