Oh $hit! The terrorists in Sinai have no aircraft, thus these are meant for Israeli planes. :-(

The most perilous moment in the early life of the 3rd Reich came when Hitler ordered the reoccupation of the Rhineland in contravention of the Treaty of Versailles. It was March 1936 and the French Army was the largest and most powerful in Europe. The leadership of the still rearming and expanding Wermacht knew it was still too weak to resist the French if they reacted militarily. But neither the French nor the other WW1 allies reacted militarily and the Nazis knew that they faced what were, for a time, toothless tigers. The West had become flaccid in its love of peace and would soon learn the price of coddling even a weak dictator.

I don’t generally like historical parallels, but it does seem that Israel faces a similar situation with Egypt. Unfortunately, the UN is moribund, Iran is developing a nuclear weapon, and the United States, under the leadership of President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, is no lover of Israel’s security or freedom.

The question for Israel is this: Can it afford the wait needed to work the problem in the Security Council or should it act now knowing that military action in the Sinai would probably provide Morsi with the excuse needed to abrogate the peace treaty. If it is war, can or should Israel limit itself to just the Sinai or even just Egypt in the scope of its military operations??

Great! The Jews won't have to burn as much aviation fuel to destroy them.

Isn’t it just great to have a US President that watches out for the safety of our friend Israel, rather than someone of my muslim faith?

It would seem these batteries are intended to at least track, if not fire upon any Israeli aircraft going East. Morsi is meeting with Ahmadinejad in Tehran on the 30th.

Morsi has historically held the 1979 treaty in contempt. Iran has become increasingly bellicose, calling for Israel's destruction multiple times over the past week.

Somehow, I doubt they're going to be discussing the weather.

Looks like Egypt is gonna get their AZeS whooped again!
1967 1973 2012?

Remember those are AMERICAN anti-aircraft weapons, the most advanced kind, given to Egypt by Obama over Congressional and Israeli objections.

Whatever happened to the MFO?
