Obama to Pledge New Mideast Aid

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama will announce this week a new aid plan for the Middle East and North Africa that U.S. officials say will be far bolder than previous American economic assistance to the region.

Mr. Obama will outline the plan, which could include debt cancellation and a reprogramming of financial aid the U.S. already provides to countries like Egypt, in a speech he is scheduled to deliver Thursday at the State Department.

Whatever aid he announces, though, is unlikely to assuage Arab governments, which had been hoping the White House would push forcibly for a resumption of Palestinian-Israeli peace talks. The president's aides say his speech will focus only briefly on the issue.

"At the end of the day, the Palestinian cause remains a dominant issue," said a senior Arab official. "A speech by the president without addressing the conflict is unlikely to generate much enthusiasm."

Mr. Obama met Tuesday with King Abdullah II of Jordan, who has been pressing U.S. officials to take a more aggressive role in the peace process, according to Arab diplomats.

After the meeting, Mr. Obama said the U.S. will provide Jordan with hundreds of millions of dollars through the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the government institution that finances and insures private business to promote economic growth. The result, according to the U.S., will be roughly $1 billion for economic activity in Jordan. The president also pledged 50,000 metric tons of wheat.

"All of this will help to stabilize the cost of living and day-to-day situation of Jordanians and will provide a foundation so that these economic reforms can move forward and long-term development can take place," Mr. Obama said.

The president's goal, officials said, is to give a financial boost to the political change sweeping the Mideast and North Africa, where dashed economic aspirations have fed unrest.

Senior U.S. officials are particularly alarmed by the deterioration in Cairo's finances since the street revolt that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in February. The Egyptian government has been forced to spend between $3 billion and $3.5 billion of its foreign-exchange reserves a month to pay for food and other commodities as tourism has plunged and overseas remittances have dried up.

Egypt's government has been seeking relief on around $1 billion in debts tied to wheat purchases in the 1970s, according to officials involved in the talks. Cairo has paid off the principal on these loans, but continues to service interest payments....snipped

As we reported! Hopey/Changey was as big a flop there as it was here.

9% unemployment here, Real underemployed more like 16%. Time to throw this guy out of office, legally!

You got to be kidding me?

This is Crazy beyond belief.

It's clear he cannot stop spending.

Is he enthused by the Billions we sent Pakistan? Obama looks at this as Global Wealth Redistribution.

This is his big mid-east surprise?

At least he didn't say we are now boycotting Israel...

That would have gotten him some cheers in Egypt...

If any candidate gets up off their backside and makes an issue of this, it should go over well in the election. Obama's only hope is that another increase in his spending will give us back the same allies we had when he started praising the riots ...only Obama is NOT sure WHO our new allies are.

This is just incredible...

Maybe if they'd quit lopping off the heads of infidels, tourism would improve?

Muslims aren't going to eat western wheat anyway. Probably will feed it to their livestock.

This is Billions!

Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan - maybe more.

Obama didn't think the overthrows through very well, eh?

What a Mess. Well, we have our own and this country is in Crisis. We don't need to look to the other side of the World.

...Obama hesitated to fully back the anti-government demonstrations as they unfolded in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, following some European leaders in calling for regime change. He also has cautiously championed reform, but not a change in government, in Syria, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where the United States has more-potent interests in maintaining the status quo.


I've yet to find a text for his entire speech, so I can only go off what parts & pieces the press provided. The overall message seems to be spend more money to redistribute and maybe purchase cooperation from countries we have no idea what their future leaders will do or who they will be.

I did quote the TOTAL BS line that the WP had to end their article with. The only thing he "hesitated" about was getting off the golf cart and addressing the issues.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, in a move that will likely infuriate Israel. Israel says the borders of a Palestinian state have to be determined through negotiations.

In a speech outlining U.S. policy in the Middle East and North Africa, Obama on Thursday sided with the Palestinians' opening position a day ahead of a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is vehemently opposed to referring to the 1967 borders.

Until Thursday, the U.S. position had been that the Palestinian goal of a state based on the 1967 borders, with agreed land swaps, should be reconciled with Israel's desire for a secure Jewish state through negotiations.
