Does the Egyptian military want to lose much of their inventory of hardware in a preemptive stike or block the MB?
Interesting to see the Washington Times praising the Camp David Accords.
Who says they haven't been trying?
Yes, Obama has be working long and hard at it.
Egypt is a tough country to defend and if they were to attack Israel, their air force would be destroyed in 24 hours and US allies would control the Suez, Alex within a week and Cairo in a week.
Obama needs a war to distract the masses.
Yes, I was a little surprised too but it’s a good point.
Then what would we do with it. It would be as bad as taking over Haiti.
I hope Israel talks to Russia or China. They are no friends of the muzzies. Israel will get no help from this admin.
Maybe, but, alternatively, this may be just what Obama and his coreligionists want. Obama's long assault on the status of the US in the world, his diminishment of Western allies, and his tilting of the US toward the Muslim world, may be about to bear deadly fruit.
You couldn’t be more right and what a shame, impeachment is in order but it won’t happen.
Egypt is nothing like Haiti as they have a large professional class and industry.
And if it got really bad, you simply seize Alex and the Suez and let them fight among themselves in Cairo.
It would not be cheap nor pretty but as it is now, we throw them a couple billion a year.
Yes. And, worse, he's way out of his depth.
“I hope Israel talks to Russia or China. They are no friends of the muzzies. Israel will get no help from this admin.”
All Israel has to do is threaten Iran’s capacity to pull oil out of the ground and get in onto ships, and this is over.
If you think Iran can close the straights, imagine what Israel could do.
Not with Obama as CIC.
It is long-standing American policy and he would have no choice, but to defend Israel and control the Suez.
As it is now, it does not seem that he has a problem waging war.
No, he's not. He wishes for the destruction of Israel. And he's doing everything he can to assure it.
As much as I'd prefer to think otherwise, this is not a "mistake" -- it's a carefully planned venture.
“Obama needs a war to distract the masses.” In order to put his marxist regime in place and declare himself king.
There, fixed it.
