If true it needs to be exposed, if false, that should be out there too...
Truthfully, the US has sent the military into Egypt for decades now, every two years since 1980, as part of the Bright Star exercises. The US Army is very familiar and practiced with large parts of Egypt.

That being said, the Army does not act overnight, and so does need some time to set up a serious base of operations, even if it is just a contingency plan.
Right now, with this Russian chemical weapons deal, things are cooling down somewhat, but that really doesn’t change the contingency game plan.
And truthfully, it will also give the US military a chance to rub elbows with the Egyptian military, exchanging a LOT of very useful information.
We’ve done Operation Bright Star in Egypt since 1992 so that would be the logical staging site now that we are out of Iraq.
So, stick four hundred of our soldiers in the Egyptian desert while the WH idiot dithers with indecision. Lovely.....
Why would there be any US forces in Egypt or Syria?
