"Question is, will the Egyptians go along with it?" Oh, no question they will. The Egyptians will not forego their billions in subsidies and U.S. tank plant just to try to save Assad's skanky behind. They cut that tie when they made a deal with Israel to get back Sinai and left Assad Sr. on his own to get back the Golan. If they fooishly tried to attack Israel they'd probably end up losing Sinai again. The Egyptians would sputter and protest but like the Saudis they'd do nothing. The great thing about the Middle East is that the duplicitous vipers in charge of the Arab countries can almost always be relied upon to act in their self interest, regardless of what they say.
