#Egypt #Morsi: Reuters recently revealed a document signed by US Secretary of State John Kerry 9 May asking Congress to approve Egypt’s 2013 aid package because it serves US national interests, and confirming the US has no intention of tampering with aid to Egypt, especially the military package. The document stated that military aid to Egypt serves US national interests, including boosting security in the Sinai Peninsula and helping prevent attacks from the Gaza Strip against Israel, as well as combatting terrorism and securing passage through the Suez Canal and the use of Egyptian airspace. The memo added that military assistance to Egypt can contribute to protecting borders in North Africa and building strong relations between the US and Egyptian armies, creating cordiality and respect. The document further asserted that the Egyptian army is a partner in spreading peace and security in the region, and has upheld the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty for 30 years. To add insult to injury just in a statement by State Department spokesperson Jennifer Psaki who said the US is not bound by the Camp David Agreement to give aid to Egypt, but Washington offers this assistance because it serves US national interests in this critical and volatile region. Thus in a nutshell the rulers of Egypt have been bought to do the bidding of America wether its a continuation of the peace treaty with Israel or silence over the genocide in Syria or flooding of the tunnels leading into Gaza or the Sinai operations. It will do its masters bidding like they did before with Mubarak or Sadat.
