Israel's intelligence community has assessed that the fall of the regime of President Hosni Mubarak would result in an immediate crisis with the Jewish state.
The most important variable is Egypt's military. Both Mubarak's vice president and the leaders of the new cabinet come from the military, which Mubarak hopes will serve as the last defense against an Islamic takeover.
Israeli government sources said the intelligence community has determined that the fall of the Egyptian regime would result in a Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government that would sever relations with Israel.
The sources said any post-Mubarak regime would try to scuttle or revise the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty signed in 1979.
"The first thing a new regime would do is deploy military troops in Sinai in violation of the treaty," a government source said.

The nations listed in Psalm 83 are beginning to take their places.
Liberal, thy name is idiot. Being a liberal is a lot like being a drunk.( I used to be both). It’s all about emotionship, not intellect. Like drunks who never learn from their self-destructive behavior , as soon as they can stand up, brush themselves off, it’s on to the next booze-up. It’s the same with liberals. As soon as they think some self-induced crisis is over, it’s on to the next election cycle and they’re voting liberal again. Let them suffer the stupidity they voted for. It’s a judgment on them.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Given the antisemitic incitement that's been a hallmark of the Mubarak reign, as in all Arab states, this should surprise no one. It's democracy.
Well, if they make war, they will lose the Sinai again, as they did in ‘67, and would have in ‘56 had not the US intervened. This time, we shouldn’t give it back. What? So Hamas can have an overland supply line, and Egypt can develop the oil and gas reserves?
"The Daily Mail reports that the plague was found in the body of one of the al Qaeda Biological Weapons of Destruction Thus it seems obvious that al Qaeda is actively working to build biological weapons of destruction. This ominous news brings to mind images of long ago plagues that the world hopes will never be experienced again." http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5632324/is_al_qaeda_using_black_death_germs.html?cat=5
I do not forsee any American troops near the Siani.We are going have to find some troops because we are spread very thin. That can always change though. I do see maybe U.S. naval and American air power if they ask for it. Keep this important historical point in mind. President Nixon put the armed forces on to DEFCON 3 when the Yom Kippur War broke out.
When this mess began, all the Air Force Bases here in California went on a state of alert. This was not leaked to the public because of causing panic.
I'm guessing they just observe and will bug out should combat between Egypt and Israel occurs.
