#1 You shall embrace Egypt and Sisi.
It is MY security dividend in the Middle East.

#2 Obviously, State and Valjar think Egypt has something they need. IIRC isn't there some Egyptian military involvement in Yemen funded by the Saudis?

There is some, yes. But Egypt is trying awfully hard not to be cannon fodder for that particular land war in Asia, as I understand it. Separately, this is an opportunity for President Obama's people to shove a bit of daylight between Egypt and Israel, which have become awfully cozy in light of shared local enemies.

#4 All part of the "Let's Bribe Everyone" tour. The Sauds get anti-missile missiles, the Turks get to bomb the Kurds, the Israelis get an American traitor, and the Jordanians get some used helicopters.

No word an what the Bahrainis, Kuwaitis, Qataris and the various and sundry Emirates get - yet.
