#1 Weber's co-chair in heading the task force, Greg Craig, told Bloomberg that while Egyptian-Israeli security cooperation in the Sinai has never been better - particularly since the 2014 Israeli military offensive against Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, in the Gazoo Strip - Jerusalem gives the former general low marks in the manner in which he has tried to crush the Islamist uprising.

"We did spend some time with Israeli national security folks," said Craig, a former B.O. regime official. "One of the smartest persons I've ever met in terms of analytical capacity was talking about the Egyptian proclivity to do all the wrong things when it comes to counter-insurgency.

when I think of smart geopolitical minds, I always think of Greg Craig, former Obama WH Counsel, assistant to the President and special counsel in the White House of President Bill Clinton, and a senior advisor to Senator Edward Kennedy and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

Yeah...my first choice. *SPIT*

#6 Wehell, presuming that neither the US-Allies nor Putinist Russia send in ANti-ISIS Milfors to the Sinai region, + Egypt does fall, Israel will deem the 1979 Begin-Sadat Accors as moot or obsolete, + WILL LIKELY MILITARILY RE-OCCUPY THE SINAI.

DITTO IFF THE ISIS/ISIL ATTACK + DESTABILIZE HASHEMITE-RULED JORDAN - ISRAEL WILL NOT ONLY INVADE JORDAN TO PROTECT ITS BORDERS, BUT MAY ALSO DEPORT ANY + ALL PALEOS FROM GAZA-WEST BANK INTO ALREADY PALEO-MAJORITY JORDAN.

Don't even want to think about the ISIS/ISIL attacking + destabilizing the KSA.

GOD HELP NOT-YET-EURO-SOVIET, EURO-SOCIALIST WANNABE AMERIKA IFF THE BAMMER'S SUCCESSOR(S) IS ANOTHER SUPER/HYPER-PC ANTI-US US OWG GLOBIE.

Plus the Pearl Harbor BB USS "Oklahoma" in the Pacific.

#7 If the Jews had any sense, they would do all that, but like the USA, they are ruled often by leftist extremists(the judiciary, for example) that are rabidly pro-muslim terror.
