U.S. QUESTIONS EGYPT ON WMD, MISSILES
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has again launched an examination of Egypt's missile and weapons of mass destruction programs.
U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton held talks over the weekend in Cairo with Egyptian leaders on a range of what U.S. officials termed were sensitive subjects. They said the issues included Egypt's WMD and missile programs and Cairo's cooperation with Saddam Hussein's Iraq and North Korea.
"All of the testimony and evidence found in Iraq have shown significant Egyptian involvement in Iraq's missile and WMD programs," a U.S. official said. "The issue has become too big to ignore without undermining the credibility of the administration."
In December 2002, the United States asked Egypt to grant access to scores of scientists who were employed in Saddam's nuclear program. The Egyptian regime of President Hosni Mubarak did not cooperate with the U.S. request, officials said.

Looks like another of Jimmy Carter's hand crafted agreements is about to blow up in our faces.

Yep, makes one wonder just which Dem president has managed to do the most damage, in the 20th century ... Wilson, FDR, Carter, or Clinton.

Or was it Loral & Clinton who helped China globify their WMD's? ..who is now helping Egypt of course. The Chinesse rocket tests before Clinton were total failures, now we have inter-continential nukes pointed at us from the East, and China is spreading the knowledge to keep the US occupied. N. Korea is a good example as well.

Well one thing is clear, they are trying to outdo each other even if they are failing to be worst than the other.

Wouldn't it be easier to try and find out which arab/islamakazi nation DOESN'T have a "nuke the USA and Israel's civilian population" program?
LETSEE whose a workin on getting geared up to bring down the USA?
North Korea, Iran, Libya, Egypt, Saudis, a couple or half dozen african Muslim nations, china, cuba, and probably still russia. With Brazil going commie and venezuela, and mexico and columbia and on and on... we seem to be getting cramped up a bit.
France?
It is very likely that Bush, all good intentions and everything turns out, may be a year or two TOO late to save our arses. One pandora's box or two, we can handle. A couple dozen if we take the gloves off and melt a few billion on the spot...
Is that what it's coming down to?
Neutron bombs for the masses and space shields to TRY and save us from the NUTCAKES of he planet?
Bill clintong did his best to destroy star warz space shielding and salt our enemies with high tech bomb tools.
seething rage.

Good comments. As for France, I'm sure they have marshmellows ready.
To: nopardons
Or Roosevelt, or LBJ.
As I might have expected, our own money, with the USA giving Egypt $2 or 3 billion a year for DECADES on END, is being and has been used to attack us and proliferate WMD in the Arab world.
We are almost literally killing ourselves.
Why we would give Egypt one penny is beyond me.
