"To say, oh well, that was the deal we had, so..." is preposterous. and Yes, the president can invoke Executive privilege to stop a congressional action that can potential to threaten our security. Perhaps he is only familiar with using it to keep his cronies out of prison (RE: Holder & Fast and Furious).
So yes. It's on him. He's the Commander in Chief.
Oh, wait - Morsi apologized for installing Islamic law. Don't know what could have possible come over him. Perhaps it's the cash and the fighter jets. Wait until he has them and see what happens.

ok, egypt democratically elected their leader. that's difference number one from syria and assad, who is a dictator. second, morsi did try to claim some powers not granted, he has already rescinded that due to the protests.
and i'm sure there is far more to the story than 'we had a deal, so...'. and 'crap' can occur anywhere, whether jets are on the way or not.
why would we need to stop the delivery? how would the delivery threaten u.s. national security?
btw, egypt has over 200 jets already. why would 4 jets coming in january be the tipping point?
i think you're reading far too much into the fox story, which is what they want. is this a big deal? no, not at all. what makes it a big issue? why are you concerned? and i'm not being sarcastic, i really want to know.
