#3 "Both sides have sustained casualties."

Really? No details, huh? Okaaaay. I predict amazing stories of brave Egytptos engaging the Bad Guys (who's on the menu this weeks?) in fierce blazing gunbattles lasting for days... resulting in several (more than 3) painfully in-grown toenails and numerous (more than 5) cases of trigger-finger sarpal cunnel tyndrome.

And lots of really shiny medals for all involved. Especially Mubarak who will get at least one sprocket out of it.

#9 "Egypt launched a large-scale clean-up operation against al Qaedas Sinai bases last week after three bomb blasts killed at least 34 people at the Sinai resort of Dahab Tuesday."

___________

Oh yes, just like the successful (not!) clean-up operations they have launched the previous two times similar attacks occurred in almost the exact locations.

#10 spooky info: 1)maybe the Israelis are helping them, thus the great secrecy.2)former base? ummmm........giving the successes in the past I wouldn't count to much on this word "former" and call it still existing because we (=Egyptians)are not too good at cleaning up properly............I like this SASW. Please TM it before anybody beats you.............
