Our military and State Department can't like that.<br /><br />Egypt, as you know, borders on Israel and contains the Suez Canal. In addition to the factors you mention, I suspect that our "intervention" is intended to establish military bases in eastern Libya in order to surround "transitioning" Egypt (with Israel). This would enable us to pressure Egypt's new government protecting Israel and the Canal while giving us further access to the Mediterranean and a base of operations in North-Eastern Africa (at the tip of the "arc of instability").<br /><br />Do you agree?PO2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01328742248574213337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-22237951697639611142011-06-08T21:36:48.025-04:002011-06-08T21:36:48.025-04:00The one with the most guns, and the most control o...The one with the most guns, and the most control of the global supply lines, will win.

Hey, the economy is going down the tubes, unemployment continues to rise at home, the dollar is about to be replaced as the "reserve currency", and the whole country is falling apart at the seams (look at our crumbling infrastructure). What to do in this case? Why start another damn fool war of choice! Sure thing there Gobomber, that will take our minds off the misery we go through every day here in 'Merikkka.<br />The arrogance, hubris, and disconnect from the clowns in DC is more than we can stand. Enough! End the damn wars now and bring all the troops home.charlie ehlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584863034307604847noreply@blogger.com
