Subject: Muslim Brotherhood threatens US about threats of aid cutoff to Egypt
"Any U.S. aid cut to Egypt, top MB lawmaker Essam el-Erian told the pan-Arabic al-Hayat newspaper, would violate the U.S.-brokered 1979 peace agreement with Israel.

The Jerusalem Post quoted Erian as saying that if the U.S. cuts aid to Egypt, the MB would consider changing the terms of the peace treaty. He is warning that the U.S. should understand that “what was acceptable before the revolution is no longer.”"

Seems fair. We paid them both to stop fighting. Cutting off one without cutting off the other surely counts as a violation of the peace agreement no?

It isn't going to matter when Israel bombs Iran in the next few months. Egypt, Libya, all of them will be sending stuff against Israel.

Probably, because they have so many nukes. Otherwise it will be a long and painful war assuming it's Egypt acting alone.

I'm specifically concerned about the "threatens" part Sansfear put in his thread title. There's nothing "threatening" about the guy's words in the JP article.

ETA: For reference, here's the JP headline:


Brotherhood lawmaker: US aid to Cairo 'assured'

without assurances from the US that the US will back them up, Israel will sit on their hands and talk tough

Why do we have to care? I say we stop.

Call their bluff. Israel can take care of itself and frankly needs some pressure.

I'm anti-jew now, right? laugh

You should probably ask the OP about that because a skim of the CNS article doesn't couch it in the same terms that the OP does. Unless I just RIF'd myself of course. tongue

Another conservative demonstrating his non-existant grasp of middle east politics.

P.S. Almost nobody likes Iran.

You're like a caricature of a caricature of a stupid person missing the point.

Sorry if I hurt your delicate feelings. I don't even disagree with you about bombing Iran being a bad idea but that had nothing to do with the point.

Most of the middle east would be more likely to cheer than retaliate if we bombed iran.

Sunnis and shii'ites in middle east are like Catholics and protestants in northern ireland...only thing that keeps them from slaughtering one another is the fact they've managed to put aside the hate for a bit for the bigger hate they have for AMERIKKKA
