"Secretary of State John Kerry last week told his Egyptian counterpart that the United States would speed up the delivery of Apache attack helicopters, although it is not clear the Apaches would be used in any Libyan operations."
This is ridiculous. WHY are we still sending military equipment and weapons over there, only to have them used against us? Wait, don't bother to respond. It's obvious.
Maybe because Egypt is poor but heavily populated, Libya is oil-rich but lightly populated, and Egypt and Libya are ancient enemies. If Egypt could grab a bunch of Libyan oil wells, it would have a nice source of income to buy grain to feed its populace.
