During the 1973 Yom Kippur War the IAF dropped paint bombs on the Aswan High Damn. By 1976 when Lake Nassar was completely filled it effectively became a WMD held back by the dam. Sadat was smart enough to realize that war with Israel was no longer possible and he looked for the best deal he could get.

And he got a good deal, and he got it *without* Jimmy Carter.

(Jimmy Carter is the Skidmark in the panties of American History. Barack 0bama is his second term.)
