If Mubarak falls from power in Egypt and the Mozlem Brotherhood are allowed to take power, will America continue to fund Egyptian armaments?
Here’s a 2009 U.S. embassy cable recently released by WikiLeaks:
"President Mubarak and military leaders view our military assistance program as the cornerstone of our mil-mil relationship and consider the USD 1.3 billion in annual FMF as "untouchable compensation" for making and maintaining peace with Israel. The tangible benefits to our mil-mil relationship are clear: Egypt remains at peace with Israel, and the U.S. military enjoys priority access to the Suez Canal and Egyptian airspace."

How humiliating it is, that Egypt demands 'compensation' for peace. The compensation was supposed to be not being destroyed by Israel.
ReplyDeleteThat Aswan dam would look mighty fine with a tidal wave coming out of it. It would also be the first bath most Egyptians had in, well... ever.
