With a large Egyptian military buildup ongoing on the Sinai Peninsula, and coup-like consolidation of power to the Muslim Brotherhood over the weekend, Egypt is now refusing to speak to Israel. After last week’s attack on the Israeli border by Islamist militants operating out of the Sinai, Israel agreed to ease the restrictions of the 1979 peace treaty on Egyptian military operations in the Sinai, hoping Egypt would be able to bring the increasing lawlessness on the peninsula under control.

"It is too early to say what will happen because everything is evolving in Egypt, but we are following what is happening there with great concern", said an Israeli government official. "Military cooperation is more necessary than ever to re-establish order along the border and in Sinai. The new leadership in the Egyptian army knows that, but the question is what does the Egyptian leadership want? This question has not yet been answered because the new Egyptian government is refusing all contact with Israel".

If Israel hits Iran I see Egypt joining in for another serious ass whoopin by their tiny neighbor to the north.

On par with Carter and Iran? No way, this is several orders of magnitude worse. The entire Arab Spring has been a boon to radicals. The map of the ME is an Islamists dream and when they dream their dreams the world is in a nightmare.

I fear war is coming. Israel hits Iranian Nuke Plants—Iran hits back with its terrorists—maybe hits USA as well. Egypt joins the battle with an invasion of Israel with Palestinian help, Syria, maybe Russia get into it with Turkey. In days we have WW III. Even wimpy Obama couldn’t stop the violence—nor could the UN or NATO. Look to see $8 a gallon Gas, rationing, maybe terrorist attacks on the USA herself. Return of Rationing of foods, and a Draft. Fewer rights, but more patriotism. Lets hope I am wrong! Its not so much if as it is when.

The price of gasoline is too high, and it's the fault of Big Oil and ethanol subsidies! /s
