 concerns.

During a visit to Cairo, Kerry referred to Egypt as "an intellectual and cultural capital to the Moslem world," saying it has a "critical role" to play in denouncing the harsh ideology of the Islamic State group, which has seized much of northeastern Syria and northern and western Iraq.
Is Egypt capable of projecting forces that far away? Can they be spared, given Egypt's little problems in the Sinai and on its southern border?
