#1 The damn Egyptians should remember that military sales, training, equiping, and 2.5 billion dollars a year in aid is absolutely dependent on them maintaining their peace treaty with Israel. If they wish to lose all of that, break the peace.

#2 If Egypt wants some of what the Paleos are receiving, I'm sure Israel can oblige....

#4 Considering the country with the largest share of foreign fighters (read: terrorists) in Iraq is from Egypt, the mind boggles.

#5 IMO, most of Israel's trouble started with that peace treaty. Also, I'd like Sinai back.

#6 As far as Radical Iran is concerned, EGYPT is just another future Iranian-Shia controlled province of the future revived Persian, etc Muslim empires. Wid Iran now publicly admitting to supporting anti-Israeli, anti-democracy regional terror groups, including but not limited to HAMAS, to support HAMAS, etc Egypt is helping its own destroyer.

#7 Egypt warns Israel not to take peace treaty for granted

And neither should Egypt. Remember, there is a reason Egypt signed that treaty in the first place.

#8 Heh, peace. You keep using that word. I don' think it means what you think it means.

#9 Cut their 2 billion dollars in aid off from the US per year and stop giving them parts for their M1s and Apachies and see how for granted they take the peace treaty.

Ass hats.

#10 Cut off American tourist $ in the event of a war and see how well Egypt's economy does. Euros won't be going there either if there's hostilities. Mubarak's blowing smoke for domestic consumption. Far be it from telling his Islamist population the truth: "we'd get our asses handed to us"

#11 Seems to me Egypt has been pretty anti-Hamas in word and deed. A little anti-Israel bloviating for domestic consumption is not to be denied them if it keeps things cooler internally.

#13 "The Egyptian Parliament has expressed its concern for Egypt's borders and its peace deal. We respect it but the threats are coming from Israel," said Fekki.

In other words, "Quit sending those pesky Paleos our way. I mean, we don't even want them in the Sinai peninsula, much less Egypt proper. And, oh yeah, it's the Joooooooos fault."

#14 A word of caution to Mustafa al-Fekki.
Remember what happens when a slow neutron hits a Uranium atom ?
Good, Eh, I new you did pay attention in Physics class....

#15 "The Egyptian Parliament has expressed its concern for Egypt's borders"
i.e., they don't want a flood of Palestinians over their border. I can sympathize.

#16 Well, why did not the Mullahs in Iran offer them "Settlement"? It is more than obvious that this is not working.
