#2 I do not think the US will allow a true reform to take place in Egypt. Corruptipon is the US method of controlling events in that area.

#4 shhhhhh! you are giving away our bestest secrets! Next thing you know they will use a cooking tool to avoid our secret brain-changing low orbital ray cannons!
( I don't want to be the one to name the reflective kitchen tool since, you know, doing that is a real big no no as per Secret Presidential Order # 23)

er, not that we have brain-changing tech
or satellites, no we don't have those either

(and SPOs don’t exist so don mention ‘em to nobody, especially number 23!)

actually, just forget I said anything

#8 Ha! Obviously RBurg is slipping. Everbody knows that Egypt has vast reserves of untapped ignorance that Haliburton is trying to seize.
