44. Ignore that kind of money at your peril in realpolitick imho.

If that much money matters going to Israel (and everyone assumes it does), then it matters going to Egypt.

Hillary Clinton deserves some applause for this. Considering that Morsi thought he had something nailed down yesterday which fell through, and NOW Clinton arrives and the deal is done, means she matters. I never count her out. She's a major international player and its not "fandom" to state that.

Finally, I hold an Irish passport so please take your presumptions elsewhere.
