The United States Wants To Win Over The New Egypt

Senator John Kerry tries a little charm offensive:

For too long, financing Egypt’s military has dominated our alliance. The proof was seen over the weekend: tear gas canisters marked “Made in America” fired at protesters, United States-supplied F-16 jet fighters streaking over central Cairo. Congress and the Obama administration need to consider providing civilian assistance that would generate jobs and improve social conditions in Egypt, as well as guarantee that American military assistance is accomplishing its goals

Mr. Kerry, the Egyptians can’t read your bribe proposal right now because the internet is blocked over there. Try again later.
