Senator 'optimistic' Egypt NGO standoff near end
A key U.S. senator said Monday he has high hopes for a positive resolution soon to the growing diplomatic crisis revolving around 19 American overseas aid workers facing charges as part of an Egyptian crackdown on nongovernmental organizations.
"Quite frankly, I'm very optimistic we're going to get this episode behind us," GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told CNN. "It's my hope (this will happen) sooner rather than later."
Graham spoke from Cairo after meeting with top Egyptian military and political leaders. He's joined on the trip by Sens. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and John McCain of Arizona. McCain is chairman of the board of the International Republican Institute, one of the organizations affected by the Egyptian crackdown.

'McCain is chairman of the board of the International Republican Insti tute, one of the organizations affected by the Egyptian crackdowns."
Ah...not there for any altruistic reasons...just looking out after his own interests...naturally.
The likes of Mccain, Lieberman have been a part of the problem for this country. I'm reminded of a saying " politicians like diapers should be changed often for the same reasons".
We *all* know they wouldn't be there if their organizations weren't those included in the crackdowns.
They can KMA.
I guess Obama needs changing.

Was that a compliment to the two posters, that you liked what they said?
Well that was so insightfully delicious, sheesh! Pretty sure no one cares.
