Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood government is set to receive more tanks and fighter jets from the U.S.
These include 200 M1A1 Abrams battle tanks and "a squadron of F-16 Falcon" fighters.
Besides the obvious problems associated with sending weaponry to a government run by the Muslim Brotherhood, one must also consider the precarious position the U.S. will find itself in should war break out between Israel and Egypt.
This concern becomes paramount when one considers how the billions in aide provided annually by the U.S. have enabled Egypt to develop "far and away the largest army in Africa." Egypt is also the "fourth largest F-16 operator among 25 countries."

Thank you for helping me to understand how you think.
All part of 0bummer’s plan to destroy Israel and advance the muzzie worldwide caliphate.
Why is it so critical Egypt get these weapons this year? I wonder what role defense industry lobbyists are playing in this transfer.
No million man marches in the streets of Europe if Obammy does the same things as the “Bushcheneyhaliburtonmonsters”.
It doesn’t matter how many tanks Egypt has or what sort they are.
They still have to cross the Sinai in a large group to matter and a few tiny neutron weapons kills their crews and makes the tanks spoils of war for Israel.
Israel won’t let them build up a tank force on the border by adding a few tanks at a time...that violates the treaty Egypt signed to regain the Sinai.
Egyptians flying F16s would be a poor match for Israelis in their F16s. They would soon become expensive debris. After a few were downed the rest would be hidden as best they could manage.
The main thing is that Egyptian brains are no match at all for Israeli brains ;-)
Indonesian Go Home!
0bama cannot do this unilaterally. It appears the Islamic U.N. controls our Congress too.. I wonder who’s cutting the checks to our Reps and our (0bama’s) media?
Hussein’s mission: deliver America’s wealth and weapons to Muslims and communists.
What do you call “200 M1A1 Abrams battle tanks and “a squadron of F-16 Falcon” Egyptian fighters”?
Target practice for Israel.
I would hope that any hardware we sell has a remote controlled off switch that is 100% tamper proof.
And that Israel has the code to deactivate such equipment.
So what is new?
No surprise. The traitor in chief has shown very clearly where his loyalties lie.
Hussein is arming the terrorists.
Again.
Your tax dollars at work.
Egypt already receives the highest amaount of foreign aid than any country in the world, other than Israel.
enough is enough - no more!!!
TREASONIST but who is listening and who is acting?
Curious story and suspect on its face. Egypt has a license to manufacture its own M1 Abrams. To date they’ve made at least 700 by themselves. The important thing they don’t have is run-and-shoot fire control. Could be they’re going to receive some of our leftover Iraq stock since our guys don’t want to spend the bucks to ship the stuff back here. The Egypt version is diesel. I can’t see them even wanting to take on maintenance of the gas turbine model. And just where is that Arab gas turbine school?
And Sen. Tom Coburn says we need to cut Soc and Medicare from the old folks in the US? Go figure?
And Congress?
