Dr. Pipes

It is no secret that many liberal Egyptians and Copts and women and shia are asking why would our leaders support terrorists the likes of el-IKhwan and that US financial aid to Egypt is not even needed after all in the late 1970;s it was about 2.5-3B dollars and 2.5-3B dollars in today's money would be almost 9B dollars instead Egypt gets 1.5B dollars which is a very tiny portion of the national budget

But most damaging to the prestige of the US is that liberals the likes one of the leaders of the Tamarud group and his name is Mahmoud Badr refused to meet with Robert Burns who is visiting Cairo at present

This really means that the US is losing her rule and prestige so fast

Oh Anne Patterson aka Hayzaboon? The leaders of Tamarud want her gone
