"According to Egyptian media reports, the purpose of the exercise is to enable Egyptian forces to practice both defensive and offensive tactics." Offensive? Will the U.S. be helping Egypt with procedures for invading Israel? With Obama in charge, you never know.
"US, Egypt Conducting Joint Military Exercises," by David Lev for Israel National News, September 5 (thanks to Geoffrey):
Just days after a report that the U.S. was sharply cutting its participation in a military exercise scheduled with Israel, U.S. planes landed in Egypt Tuesday for a joint exercise, the first since the fall of Hosni Mubarak. Code-named “Eagle Arena 2012,” the exercise will include air and naval forays by US and Egyptian planes and boats, over the country, Sinai, and the Red Sea.

FARS - did you see this?
Sometimes I just can’t stand to read any news for some days. This article may just put me over the edge for a short while.
Something tells me that this isn’t going to end well.
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Conducting Joint Military Exercises Here
Areas of California asked to be especially respectful of Sharia Law.. or else, warned Obama Administration spokesman.
IMO it would definitely be time for the military to choose sides.
Muslims helping Muslims?
This really pushes me over the edge. I never want to even eat again. Just because I’m so sick with major beyond-disgust and anger.
I should read Jihad Watch every day. Everyone should.
Enemies, Foreign and Domestic.
Matt - did you see this? BTW I have a link to archives of your radio talk last night. Is there a link some where on FR?
God save Israel.
I am not sure how much to read into this.... The Egyptian military is not run by the MB.... Yet....
Obama cutting back on exercises with Israel is much more telling....
Oh yeah, Obama’s really got Israel’s back - ready to shove the knife in.
Here is the original article:
US, Egypt Conducting Joint Military Exercises

Found nothing on your link to Jihad Watch about this.
“Washington is set to forgive a billion dollars of Egyptian debt as part of its international assistance program for Egypt.”
Sure Obozo thinks we have money to burn giving it to his Muzzie Brotherhood friends.
What has been seen cannot be unseen.
but I am serious that we are nearing the point where the military will have to choose sides.

Don’t get sick, my FRiend. Get ready.
Make a list of your own personal resources. That’s not just assets you can lay your hands on, but your attitudes, your inner strengths, your skills and knowledge, and most of all, your determination. Not just to survive but to be part of something huge, the patriotic opposition.
The MSM wants us to believe that this election is already over and that the new social order is here & will accomodate an unstoppable Islamic tide of conquest.
First of all, tell that to the Israelis. Think for a moment how less than seven million Jews have beaten back a hate filled Arab World numbering three hundred million, most of which have murder in their heart. That’s not including Iran.
Yes, this is a pep talk. Like “Red Dawn” when Jed says “Don’t cry!! Let it turn to something else. Let it turn...let it turn....”
Get angry, get madder than h**l. I already am, but at least it keeps me warm.
I haven’t seen a link yet.
I suspect there is more to this than meets the eye.
The US has been conducting military exercises with Egypt for a long time. However, the most important lesson they want to impart to the Egyptians is always that they never, ever want to fight the US military.
However, as is the want of Islamists, they do not trust the military command, and want to replace all those trained military men with reliable jihadists, who know very little indeed about military matters.
As was the case with Iran, this resulted in huge numbers of Iranian dead in the Iran-Iraq war, because these fools wanted to use Koranic combat techniques against a modern army. Civilian human wave infantry attacks do not work against mechanized infantry.
So I imagine the big purpose of this exercise is a crash course in three lessons.
The first is that if they ever, ever, attack the US military, they will be utterly obliterated.
And these jihadi insta-generals will look at their subordinates who will be vigorously nodding their heads in agreement.
And the second lesson is that the Israelis *also* have a military that will mop the floor with them. And again the subordinates will be nodding in agreement.
The third lesson is that they need to prepare to act if some “holy men” in Cairo decide it is time for you all to be slaughtered in a holy war, while they sit in safety at home with their fat wives and watch it happen on al-Jazeera.
