#1 I hope Tel Aviv = ISRAELI GOVT, IDF remember that IRAN has directly + indirectly stated or inferred that it not afraid to engage in any PREEMPTIVE MIL OR PROXY FIRST STRIKE AGZ THE US-ISRAEL IFF NEED BE, to include so-called
"decapitation strike" agz the White House + Congress, aka US NCA + Political-Mil Leadership.

The US feared a Soviet decap strike during the Cold War, + will do so again as Iran + Radical Islam steadily NUCLEARIZES IN A POST-"ARAB SPRING/JASMINE" PERIOD OF POOR US-GLOBAL ECONOMY OF UNCERTAIN DURATION.

POST-ARAB SPRING/JASMINE ISRAEL = 1948? versus 1956 Suez Crisis, PART II???

#2 I doubt this is "war footing". I accept the analysis that it is an effort to keep miscreants from attacking Israel and though not reported, I believe rogue elements of the military were operating outside of their official capacity in allowing weapons trafficking through the Sinai.

Yes, assume the worst, but also know that there is still commo between Egypt proper and Israel over last weeks events which could have brought the region to the brink.
If, IF this is an offensive maneuver, it will be an easy kill for the IDF.

It is a political endeavor to shelter both governments for the recent cross border actions.

#3 Egyptian politics is unsettled. However, once the muslim brotherhood wins power, iran will have a sunni counterpart.

After WW2 the Allies outlawed nazism in Germany. After the victory in iraq, the Coalition Provisional authority abolished baathism.

Why not treat islamonazism exactly the same way? Instead BHO bows to those wild animals.

What part of the muslim' 1400 year war against Western Civilization can't those f'ing dummies understand?
