Muslim Brotherhood Warns U.S. Aid Cut May Affect Egypt’s Peace Treaty With Israel

In this game of poker who's holding the full house?

"CNSNews.com) – A top Muslim Brotherhood official has warned that any cuts in U.S. aid to Egypt could affect Cairo’s peace treaty with Israel – the latest sign that Egypt’s emerging political forces intend to call Washington’s bluff over the diplomatic dispute triggered by a crackdown on non-governmental organizations......"

Any place else and it would be called blackmail.

So if U.S. cuts aid to Egypt, Egypt declares war on Israel.. is Egypt a nuclear power? Does Iran join Egypt against Israel? I assume we would support Israel in this, so with these questions and SF18C's points here http://professionalsoldiers.com/foru...ad.php?t=36825 (post #4)
is this how WW3 starts?

Do you fold to black mail? Maybe a better use of the money would Arty. and Armour for Israel and cluster bombs for the Airforce. But that will not happen.

OK the treaty is out - we'll pull all our Egyptian troops out of the Sinai.

...whats the difference

Additionally, who really controls the military in Egypt[1]? MOO: I could see the MB using Hamas as an effective proxy, much like Iran and Hezbollah.
