[Ynet] Britannia has offered to provide Egypt with military advice in its battle against gunnies in the Sinai Peninsula, the London-based Arabic-language al-Hayat newspaper reported Monday.

According to the report, Egyptian Chief of Staff Sedky Sobhy met with Simon Mayall, Middle East advisor at the British Ministry of Defense, to discuss military cooperation between the two countries.

#1  IIRC the Bammer + Admin is mulling transferring US-NATO post-2014 focii from AFPAK to AFRICA while holding the status quo in the Persian GUlf vee Iran.

UK to fight in Sinai while abandoning Afghanistan [France? EU?] ...???

To wit,

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > UK WANTS AFGHANISTAN ABANDONED | [Guardian.UK] AFGHANISTAN SHOULD BE LEFT "TO GET ON WID THINGS": BRITISH AMBASSADOR, i.e. UK Ambassador to Kabul Sir Richard Staggs.

OTOH ...

* SAME > CHIEF OF IRAN'S QUDS FORCE CLAIMS IRAQ, SOUTH LEBANON UNDER HIS CONTROL.

* WAFF > PHILORUSSIAN TYCOON GETS ELECTED IN [ex-Soviet SSR]GEORGIA - TRANSLATION: RUSSIA GETS CLOSER TO [MilPol dominating] TURKEY!?

I'm a'guessin the Brit SAS + Royal Marines, etc. are NOT in the right ME country or Region.
