“A delegation of U.S. lawmakers is scheduled to arrive to Egypt Monday headed by Senator John McCain who has said he hoped Egyptian officials understood the situation was unacceptable to the United States.”
McCain to the rescue!
“A delegation of U.S. lawmakers is scheduled to arrive to Egypt Monday headed by Senator John McCain who has said he hoped Egyptian officials understood the situation was unacceptable to the United States.”
Send a military ship and give the Egyptians FOUR hours ultimatum to bring the American citizens held hostages on board. If not, flatten Cairo.
I remember a 30 years or so old story, when several Russian diplomats were held hostages in Beirut and the kidnappers asked for a lot of money to release them. The Russians kidnapped a couple of Arabs, and the next day, they sent to the kidnappers a package with three severed fingers. “If you don’t free our people, tomorrow you’ll get two bloodied noses in the next package”.
24 hours later, the Russian diplomats were back home in Moscow.
