Stop Calling It "Foreign Aid" to Egypt!


In present discussions over Washington foreign policy and so-called "aid to Egypt," can we please stop calling it "aid to Egypt?" It's a very deceptive term to describe the yearly transfer of over a billion dollars worth of military vehicles, weapons, and equipment to Egypt's military.
