The actions of the Egyptian government amid protests there will determine whether the United States continues to give aid to the north African country, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday.

The White House will “make determinations” based on Egypt’s response to the protests, Gibbs told reporters. “We are ... watching the actions of [the Egyptian] government,” he said.

Gibbs’s position appears to be different than that of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who said Sunday that “there’s no discussion at this time about cutting off aid” to Egypt.

“Right now, we are trying to convey a message that is very clear,
They do not fool me. They support the MB, aid will be cut off. Just my opinion. :fuelfire:

If the Muslim Brotherhood takes power, aid will double or triple along with military hardware sales.

I don't think so. At least I hope not. But I have no doubts that the Muslim Keyan will try to find a way to keep funding them.

With the TeaParty/conservative swing in the last election, the Muslim Brotherhood may have thought the gravy train had just about run its course. They may have thought, "This is just about the best equipped and funded Army/Airforce the Americans are going to buy for us....time to take over and attack Israel."

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
