Well Obama has deepsixed another ally.

I believe that Egypt is bound by international treaties and law to allow all shipping of any country pass through the canal

[ZX12R]

We should sink those ships as soon as they leave dock, and nuke all their military installations, as a warning to the rest of the raghead countries.

Considering we have an entire fleet based a little more than 150 miles off Iran’s coast, in Bahrain, we’re not in much of a position to freak about a couple of lousy warships passing through the Suez.

[newzjunkey]

The Suez canal is in Egypt therefore it's only Egypt who should have a say whether Iran will send two "warships" though the canal.

This isn't "rocket surgery." If Israel turn this into another USS Liberty incident--an unprovoked attack by Israel on a U.S. navy ship in int'l waters--they can get stuffed and suffer whatever consequences come their way.

Seems like the next flotilla of peaceniks will have Iranian naval support.
