CNN - Politics: Reports the following on the review of US and Egyptian relationship, " However, some military aid could continue, including funds to uphold Egypt's obligations under its peace treaty with Israel, and money for counterterrorism and security in Sinai,...".
Lets Get Real:
Thus folks a symbolic slap on the hand, the US can not afford to lose Egypt as an ally, the Muslim Brotherhood was a threat to secular Egypt and to Western interests, the US needs Egypt to carry on with the Camp David Peace Deal with Israel, allow US Naval vessels favourable rights in the Suez Canal, and for the new government in Cairo to take on Al Qaeda and suppress the Brotherhood. If Egypt goes the way of Syria the Oval would have a nightmare three and half years in office, there could be no Middle East Peace deal that could lead to the creation of a Palestinian State, also the West would face a hike in oil prices, that would send the West back in to recession, ALL the Oval wants is for Cairo to keep the suppression off the TV, it makes liberals feel the need to place pressure on the Oval, at this minute that is the last thing President Obama wants, he has enough international and domestic problems to deal with at the moment.
