Israel could probably find 1 billion barrels here

Cairo's envoy to US: Treaty is a main element of Egypt’s foreign policy; Supreme Council dissolves parliament, suspends constitution.
An influential Egyptian opposition figure and likely presidential candidate called Sunday for Cairo’s peace treaty with Israel to be reassessed, the first sign since former president Hosni Mubarak’s ouster Friday that the 32-year-old agreement may be in jeopardy.
Ayman Nour, a former lawmaker and chairman of the Ghad (Tomorrow) party, told an Egyptian radio station that the 1978 Camp David Accords were no longer relevant, and said the country’s leadership should at least rethink the terms of the framework agreements that led to a peace deal between the erstwhile enemies the following year.
Details of the interview were revealed Sunday evening by Ehud Yaari, Middle Eastern affairs commentator for Channel 2 News.
On Saturday, the Egyptian military confirmed it would abide by all of the country’s prior international agreements, an announcement welcomed in Jerusalem by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak. The conflicting signal heard Sunday from a potential presidential candidate – heading not an Islamist party, but one describing itself as secular, liberal and human-rights oriented – is likely to give Israeli decision-makers pause.
“The Camp David Accords are finished,” Nour said. “Egypt has to at least conduct negotiations over conditions of the agreement.”

It couldn’t have been done without Obama.....
At some point we will be faced with the choice of surrender or go nuclear. I hope we will have the right woman in the White House to make the call to strike down our enemies.
What zero would REALLY like is for the US to declare war against Israel and obliterate her. What he is settling for is creation of proxy states to accomplish the same.
There is no doubt that whoever rises to the leadership of Egypt’s new “democracy” will demand that the Camp David accords be renegotiated at the very least. They will demand an even bigger aid package from the US as part of any new agreement.

This will end well.
I suspect what's happening here is that the financial terms of the agreement are presenting a problem to Egypt right now. The U.S. provides billions of dollars in aid to Egypt under the terms of the agreement, and as the U.S. dollar declines under a deliberate currency devaluation program by the Federal government these billions simply ain't what they used to be.
Obama makes me want to puke whenever I see/hear him speak. Israel has been thrown to the wolves by this guy. It only took him 2 days to changes course in reference to Egypt, yet he did not do anything for the protesters in 2009 in Iran.
God help us.
This leaves one question unanswered. Will the newspaper headlines describe the outcome as “surprising” or “unexpected”. I’ve lost track of which word they used to describe the previous Obama blunder.

For the last 33 years there have been people in the US who have condemned Jimmy Carter’s Camp David Accords. I wonder if they would be happy to see the Camp David Accords tossed out?
Israel is stuck with the Camp David accords. If it falls due to a new Islamic Egyptian regime anxious to start a war, they what good where they anyway?
I don’t see the current military government of Egypt handing over their power to the Mullahs nor do I see that government breaking the CDA’s.
To do so would be national suicide as they would lose their US funding and if they were to close the Suez or move against Israel, they be destroyed.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Been reported that State Dept prgrammed initiatives before Bush left office; difference is, Bush would have brought to the 'revolution' a morally-reasoned base. Obama/Soros had different MO's and expectations.
