CNN - Politics: Reports that the " U.S. temporarily holds up some military aid to Egypt ".
Lets Get Real:
This is a massive mistake by the Oval, as the article notes the US has " preferential use of the Suez Canal...It also has overflight rights, which gives the U.S. military the ability to fly over Egypt on the way to bases in the region. ". Thus folks what happens when Saudi Arabia fills in the gap or even worse the Russians, the US will have lost a close ally, this move by the Oval is due to pressure by the US Senate, it shows how weak the Oval is, a great President would have taken the Congress on, made the case that Egypt is to important to US National Security to play games with, you can not have a 100 hundred Senators who think they are experts on Foreign Policy, this could backfire on the Oval folks, this is a massive mistake that could sink the 2nd Obama term.
