“It would be interesting to know Egypt’s military equipment inventory (bought with US aid) that will soon fall into enemy hands.... “
Yea. And you can bet if the radicals take over the amount of U.S. aid will skyrocket. The administration will just say it is for social and economic reform. But we know where the money will go. The poor will be more poor. The hungry will be more so. Anyone who is not an islamic fundamentalist should probably make rapid plans for get out now.
It would appear they at least have some M-1 Abrams tanks and F-16s. Thankfully the Israelis are better trained than the Egyptians-!
I would not be surprised if some of it ends up in the hands of US officials on the take.
Don’t know about Egypt, but “aid to the Palestinians” mostly went to Yassar Arafat’s personal bank account.
Foreign aid is the best scheme ever invented for taking the money from the pocket of a poor person in one country and putting it in the pocked of a rich person in another country.

That’s easy.
The money ends up in Mubarak’s bank account as well as the bank accounts of his generals.
1) Where does the money go? - Switzerland.
2) Who decides how it’s spent? - Mubarak.
HTH.
