at any rate, a bit disingenuous to say 'obama' is sending them. the u.s. is sending them as part of a deal made in '10.
what reason would there be not to send? egypt ostensibly remains an ally. and i see in the article, that 'some' suggest it's a bad move. which means others don't.

I think it's disingenuous to make believe that same crap occurring in Syria can't happen in Egypt with this new regime. Egypt is not the same country that it was 2 years ago.
"To say, oh well, that was the deal we had, so..." is preposterous. and Yes, the president can invoke Executive privilege to stop a congressional action that can potentially threaten our security. Perhaps he is only familiar with it when using it to keep his cronies out of prison (RE: Holder & Fast and Furious).

So yes. It's on him. He's the Commander in Chief.

Oh, wait - Morsi apologized for installing Islamic law. Don't know what could have possibly come over him. Perhaps it's the cash and the fighter jets. Wait until he has them and see what happens.
