It’s easier to carry the missiles across with the gates open.
Thank You Mr. Obama.
May they live in peace and prosper.
Geez....Now we know what Egypt is doing with OUR MONEY...setting the stage for war!!
Samantha and Obummer will start the stolen weapons in libya rolling. As soon as possible.
surprise, surprise.
Ah the Arab Spring - you can almost feel the love. The wonders of democracy.
Simple solution. Just give gaza back to Egypt with the promise that the first rocket launched against Israel, Cairo will be toast.
I'm betting they'll close it within a few months, to keep out the Palis, whom they can't stand even now. Just wait till those welfare cases start over-running Egypt in earnest. They'll let the Palis out, but not in.
That is how I am beginning to feel. The economy is in shambles. Our military is scattered all over the place. The politicians are corrupt or incompetent. Our enemies are creeping up on us. Our allies don't trust us. One of our best allies, Israel, is being moved on. And I sense a gathering threat.
Our enemies would not be so brazen if they did not believe an opportunity was at hand.
actually, one way to settle the Gaza problem is to give it back to Egypt, who has owned it for 3000 or more years.
Then give the west bank back to Jordon.
