Yes, it is nonsense. In fact, outside interests appear to be inciting the MB.

Understand these sources are biased, but the reports may give some insight into negotiations which included McCain and Graham, and Ted Cruz’s 180, all minoritiy members of the Senate Committee on Armed Services.

What leverage does U.S. have with Egypt?

Former Defense Secretary William Cohen weighs in on the difficulty the U.S. faces in dealing with Egypt.

WASHINGTON — Most nations, including many close allies of the United States, require up to a week’s notice before American warplanes are allowed to cross their territory. Not Egypt, which offers near-automatic approval for military overflights, to resupply the war effort in Afghanistan or to carry out counterterrorism operations in the Middle East, Southwest Asia or the Horn of Africa.

Losing that route could significantly increase flight times to the region.

American warships are also allowed to cut to the front of the line through the Suez Canal in times of crisis, even when oil tankers are stacked up like cars on an interstate highway at rush hour. Without Egypt’s cooperation, military missions could take days longer.
