#2 ..well-oiled smuggling machine into a channel for transmitting Iranian cash to keep Egyptian Islamic extremists on the march.

Our 21st Century equivalent of the 20th Century act of putting Lenin on the train in Zurich to ship to Russia to move the revolution along. Sure to have very very bad consequences down line for everyone [except those who end up in power]. Not that anyone could foresee this. No, no. State is always in the very best of hands.

#8 without delay on an emergency mission

Three weeks after the party started. Because one must never hesitate, y'know, too long.

#9 This is DEBKA, which means it is 99.99999% likely the story is false. So far I see no indication that Gates is anywhere near Cairo or has any plans of going there.

If it is a DEBKA "exclusive", then it is false ... as it made up ... as in "not true".

To date I have never seen an accurate one yet.
