Thanks for the ping, MM.

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.

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?

"kill by sword, famine and plague"

"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.

The US has had troops in the Sinai for 30 years as part of the Multinational Force and Observers. Of course, it's only a combat battalion and support troops. Now that I've read up on it seems the Egyptians are allowed several divisions in certain parts of the Sinai while the Israelis are allowed a battalion (I bet they're cussing Carter for that one at this point).

I'm guessing they just observe and will bug out should combat between Egypt and Israel occurs.
