AMMAN, Aug. 17, 2002 (QNA via COMTEX) -- Dr. Oasma Al Baz, political advisor to the Egyptian president, said Egypt will not allow passage through the Suez Canal of US ships headed to strike Iraq. In statements published here Saturday he added Egypt rejects any military operation against Iraq, its territorial unity, independence and safety of Iraqi people, adding any military attack on Iraq represents a vary dangerous step endangering the security of the region.
Dr. Al Baz said the question of UN weapons inspectors is an issue which concerns the UN and the Security Council and not Washington and the US has no right to take any military action against Iraq nor has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of another country and impose a set-up of new leadership on its people.

Let the israelis handle this one for us. I think they could change their mind in a few hours.

If this isn't one of those two faced statements that all these petty countries engage in (one for international consumption/one for domestic consumption), then withdraw all aid to Egypt and add them to the Axis of Evil.
To: kattracks
Screw the UN. Screw Egypt. We assume control. Get out of the way before you woosies get hurt. The big boys are in the sandbox now.
To: kattracks
Like they could stop us if we really want through, but if it's a true statement then it does show that we may have to stomp on some toes to pull this off.
To: kattracks
Well let's just give them a few more Billion dollars, GW. But as hollow as your "consequences do have actions" (as long as it is not the Klintoons or their fellow felons) this action means nothing but a big briefing of how good of allies they are.

Stop all foreign aid to Egypt.
To: kattracks
We don't need them; they don't need our billions of $$$$.
What are the countries with which Iraq share's borders? Each one of them is a potential staging area. Egypt has made a mistake. It will take a bit longer to go around to the persian gulf, but it is simply a matter of when you decide to launch your attack. You launch it when you're ready; when all your pieces are in place.

then it does show that we may have to stomp on some toes to pull this off. I have a much better idea: stomp on some heads. Egypt needs sanitizing anyway.

Nearly FOUR BILLION! Tens of millions, indeed, what pikers do you think we are?
I think we just seize the Sinai peninsula, Suez Canal, and any other part of Egypt we may find to our need. We've already paid the ingrates enough for it already.
We need a new state in that part of the world anyway, so many Americans now want to move to deserts, and Arizona and Nevada are about full.
Sinai and NW Saudi look like good candidates for a new territory and later state.

Sounds good to me and we also need to suspend anymore support militarily or monetarily for these backstabbing Muslim pricks.
To: denydenydeny
It's around $1.9 billion each year...!
Halt foreign aid to all countries except in the case of a 'humanitarian crisis' due to a 'natural event', i.e. flood, storm, etc.

Will not let?I don't think Egypt is in a position to "let" or "not let" us do any damned thing.
Saddam needs to crawl back into his hole and make sure his supply of Twinkies is complete.
