Kerry urges Egypt to 'get economy back on its feet'
2013-03-03
[FRANCE24] Egyptians need to come together to give businesses confidence and pass reforms to qualify for an IMF loan, and get the ailing economy "back on its feet," US Secretary of State John Kerry said during a visit to Cairo on Saturday.
There. That should do it...

#11  I've thought for several years now that when the Islamonuts take over in Egypt the antiquities will go, starting with the temples of Luxor.

The Sphinx and Pyramids are a bit too visible a place to start but they'll get there eventually.

Well the Muzzie nuts took over but haven't consolidated things enough yet but the clock is ticking. (See also Bamiyan Bhuddahs, tombs of Timbuktu, etc.)

#10  "Might I suggest covering the Pyramids with solar panels?"

Better cover 'em with something, airandee, before the islamonazinuts in their gummint and elsewhere decide they're "unislamic" and destroy them. >:-(

#9  John Kerry thought Eqypt would benefit from a 'corruption dividend'. He may also be worried that they cannot pay for the US military equipment needed to keep the 'arab spring' alive.

Might I suggest covering the Pyramids with solar panels?

#7   the administration is actually characters from a cartoon strip

From Pogo to Doonsbury to Bloom County the left has long hankered for a cartoonish approach to government policy. We have it now, and many are not laughing...

#6  Maybe he should take a hot balloon tour of Luxor.

Runner-up snark of the day.

#5  This boob probably thinks the US economy is a roaring success at the moment.

I really think that I've slipped into an alternate universe where the administration is actually characters from a cartoon strip.

#4  Kerry is totally out of touch... The Egyptians have very little in the way of an economy, how are they going to pay back a loan, with bags of sand from the Sahara ?

#3  No wonder Arabs believe everybody conspires against them.
