There are two links.
The first link has to do with the Obama budget request to send $1 trillion to the Mideast to help expenses incurred in "Arab Spring." (This site often rounds numbers.) The actual number is closer to $775 billion but government figures tend to be a bit understated, especially in highly politicized venues. For me, the Obama number for "Arab Spring" is $1 trillion.
The second link is to the group who will manage that money, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Meanwhile the slaying of women and children continues in Syria, with very little reporting/photographic coverage coming out. Arab Spring continues, I guess. It's nice to see that the US won't go into Syria to stop this horror unless the Syrian government invites us in. Something tells me Assad won't be sending us a petit bleu. It's not often the US waits for an "invite."
Just saying.
Okay, three links. I had just planned on two links, but then got to rambling. Somehow they're all connected.
