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.

Right on. I'm leaning toward the petty, "two faced statement" personally. From what I hear, the water level is too low for supertankers and a plan was announced to deepen it...that was 1997 and I don't know if they have done it yet. Besides, we don't HAVE to have Egypt's support.

What would make for good progress in the diplomatic front with all of our so called allies:

1. 0800 Cairo time: Inform Cairo of our intentions to take the Suez from them by force. Give them until 1000 to evacuate the site.

2. 1000 CT: Begin capturing the Suez with our assets in the Gulf.

3. 1200 CT: Break for lunch while the IDF marches down to annex the Suez for Israel.

4. 1500 CT: Begin transits once again.

5. If at any time Cairo interferes in any way, nuke Cairo.

If we really mean war, then this is what we need to do. Otherwise, we are playing diplomacy.
