Mohamed Naser Ali, TV Host On Turkey-Based Muslim Brotherhood Channel, Warns: Libya Would Be Like Vietnam For The Egyptian Army
2020-07-29
[MEMRI.ORG] Mohammed Naser Ali: "Only Israel has an interest in causing a clash between the armies of Egypt and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
. I said that America had been sucked into a quagmire in Cambodia, in Afghanistan, and in Iraq, even though it has the largest military in the world. I said that no country that has ever crossed the border into the territory of another country has ever managed to avoid being sucked in a quagmire there. I said that nobody knows how many years this war would last. When two large armies clash — like the Egyptian and the Ottoman Turkish armies — it only serves Israel's interest. Therefore, my patriotic and loyal message is similar to what I have been saying for years about the Renaissance Dam: It is in Egypt's interest to coordinate with the legitimate government in Libya, with whom El-Sisi himself met several times in Cairo a few months ago. It is in Egypt's interest to focus on the threat to its drinking water. It is in Egypt's interest to protect its army and its sons who are enlisted in it. They should fight real battles rather than battles we have nothing to do with. It is in Egypt's interest to learn from history and to avoid repeating the dangerous adventures of the failing generals who have gotten us involved in failing wars. It is in Egypt's interest to examine what happened to foreign armies in other countries. It should learn the lesson from the American experience in Cambodia, in Vietnam, and in Iraq."
Turkey'd better think two or three times about that. We didn't put troops into Cambodia (except for John Kerry, of course). Cambodia and Laos were safe areas for the North Vietnamese. The Ho Chi Minh trail was outside South Vietnam. Iraq had Iran and Syria as safe areas. Afghanistan has Iran and, more importantly, Pakistain as safe areas. Libya has Tunisia, if the Moslem Brüderbund keeps power, as a kinda safe area for the Turks, Egypt and Algeria as safe areas for Libya. There was a story a few days ago that the Turks had signed an arms agreement with Niger on the southwestern border, but I don't think they'll get one with Chad or Sudan.
