#1 "The report also mentioned that the US troops' involvement in the region had been a major source of recent tensions between Egypt and Hamas."

Awwwwww - ain't that just too bad.

#2 Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot said Thursday that American soldiers--operating under the guise of civilian contractors--discovered 42 tunnels under Rafah over the past month.

Isn't that sort of illegal??? From the US' standpoint, I mean.

I wonder if it's actually a case of paleo-turncoats that are selling out and in order to cover the info-leak are blaming it on Zee Americans.

#3 Actually, Anon, sounds like Blackwater has the contract.

Plenty to debate about US Army vis Contract forces, but from a purely legal point, I don't doubt that the proper arrangements have been made. It would even surprise if there were some foreign legionaires in the mix.

#6 We used to have a company of troops in the Sinai, monitoring. And we have a navy hospital research thingy in Cairo.
