EGYPT, a country that is thinking of abrogating the peace treaty with Israel, a country slowly being taken over by the Moslem Brotherhood, a country where most don't want any connection with Israel, is Protecting Israel?! An excellent example of how ludicrous your posts are and how little grasp of facts, or reality, you have.
32. #30 Protecting Israel?

It doesn't help Israel to assist in arming Egypt to the point wherein its airforce and armoured forces are substantially greater in size than Israel's. Israel's technology may be superior but Israel's armoured force is outnumbered 4-1 by Egypt (6224 Main Battle Tanks - many of which being modern American Abrams tanks) vs Israel's 1,680, and its airforce by at least two hundred fighter jets this ongoing policy of armament of Israel's unfriendly neighbours is not helping to keep a peace which would be better kept by Israel's TOTAL military dominance which America should've been helping to ensure from the beginning if its leaders were true friends of America as most of its citizens want them to be. We all know that in the intifadas of the past it was not just Egypt coming against Israel although that nation was among them. It was a coalition of many Muslim states which sought to destroy Israel. Now each of these historic enemies of Israel has been armed by America to varying extents such that Israel could easily find itself outnumbered 7-10 to 1 in armoured forces and 3-5 to 1 in air forces in the next intifada, and with a far greater population base among the hostile nations - with egypt having eighty million versus Israel's population around 1/10 that number, the infantry forces will similarly vastly outnumber Israel even before the paramilitary militias arrive. Don't arm Israel's enemies to protect Israel, arm Israel and only Israel!
