But there is also another scenario. The US gives Egypt military 1.5 billion dollars a year. If they were to start anything against Israel that would immediately stop. As my wise father said follow the money. There might be agitation in the Egyptian streets to do something but the military will vote for the money is my prediction.

The Saudis could make that up out of pocket change if they thought it would buy them some peace from the Muslim Brotherhood. Also with the US facing bankruptcy the money was likely to get scaled back in any case. Lets face it thanks to Obama's trillions of dollars of reckless domestic spending we just don't have the deep pockets necessary for wide scale bribery any more.
