Heck - Sharm El Sheik is about as safe as you COULD have gotten over there. There is a US Infantry Battalion 600 meters to the south. "Herb's Beach" (for those who have been there) is within swim distance. It is a "summer place" for Egyptian royalty, (or was). For this to happen, signals a huge decrease in the security of the region and an acquiescence by those in charge. There's only a couple of routes in and out of there and there ain't no place to hide in the desert. Things are going to get pretty crappy in Egypt very soon.

But - hey, Obama got rid of Mubarek didn't he? Good work there O.
