Of course, if Egypt follows the path of Iran, and its 1970s revolution, those weapons will have to be deemed weapons of peace, Unless, of course, if you're a liberal in which case that fact will be ignored and the problem will be blamed on whatever Republican is in office.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't read too much into it. Egypt has an army. They need weapons. They're going to buy them from someone.
