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 **** off otherwise!!"
oh the irony of your hypocrisy
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.

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.
