I wonder if all those who protest America's aid to Israel will show up to denounce this....being the "America Firsters" that they are.

[Nachum]

Didn't a number of the Al Qaeda come from Egypt?

[DoughtyOne]

I would certainly expect them to. This is a damnable act on our leadership's part as far as I am concerned. Who the hell do they think threatens Egypt anyway?

[DoughtyOne]

I'm not sure about Al-Quida, but if I'm not mistaken some of the hijackers did.

[veronica]

Don't be so sure it will go through. Time will tell.

[BenF]

I would certainly expect them to.

Don't hold your breath waiting. Of course, now that I brought it up.....

[ikanakattara]

This is *insane!* Why are we allowing the sale of cruise missiles to a Muslim country full of jihadists? Sometimes you really wonder WHO has the death wish!

Lets see....I just saw another thread where folks were worried about N. Korean missiles sold to Egypt. Harpoons have been around a long time...beauty weapons, but not quite Tomahawks.

I wonder if all those who protest America's aid to Israel will show up to denounce this....

yup- just give israel an excuse to "buy" more weapons with american tax payer money.

The only good end I can see to all this is a nuclear exchange between israel/iraq which spreads to egypt/syria/jordan/saudi. no more israelis, no more palestinians, syrians, jordanians, saudis... and lots of lovely oil. (and no, given that it's underground, it won't be radioactive.

A pox on all their houses. I wish they would all just go away.

This has to be a joke, right?!!W.T.F.

Let me guess....you're a good Christian, aren't you?

[mad_as_he$$]

bla bla bla How much stuff have the Isreali's done that "worries" us? Don't forget they have American blod on their hands.

[Nachum]

Blod? Where?

[fourdeuce82d]

Let me guess....you're a good Christian, aren't you?

i think I might be an agnostic, but I just don't know...

[mad_as_he$$]

dang have to get new typist. BLOOD from the spy ship that they attacked - forget the name but I am sure somebody will come up with it.

[Nachum]

One of those ships, er... the St. Louis?

[TopQuark]

The Washington Post reported yesterday that the Bush administration plans to sell Egypt 53 Harpoon Block II missiles manufactured by Boeing, as well as four naval patrol craft on which the missiles would be mounted.

What a great idea! As soon as the government is toppled by the fundamentalists, they'll be able to threaten Israel as well as all our NATO allies in the southern Mediterranian. Then, of course, we'll send our boys in the harm's way to retrieve these very missiles.
