#2 Explain to me what the security threats are to Egypt today.

MB. The only 'in country' counter is the military. How do you make them play the game without being played yourself? [see - Benghazi] It can be done, but the idiots in the beltway aren't likely to be able to pull it off. Then again the irony would be for The One to be the manipulating [as though he isn't domestically - sarc] imperialist that he's denounced America for being for most of his aggrieved socialist life.

#4 How much flight practice are the pilots going to get, given that Egypt is experiencing a severe fuel shortage? Not of airplane fule as such, but overall...

#5 When I was stationed @ Pax River, Strike Aircraft, we had a Hornet that belonged to the Suadis doing some testing. Seems our pilot was of the non-male variety and when the Saudis found out they had a major fit. not only did we have to swap out the seat cushions, we had to install a brand new seat. maybe we should have some of the female pilots ferry these things over to the MB and then after tossing down their flight bags, just walk away and let them figure out how to uncontaminate the seats. you know, cuz they got gurl cooties all over them.
