Apparently, according to DEBKA, the situation in Egypt is deteriorating and the government made up of the military leaders have seen their grip on control start to slip. One has to wonder if the current ruling commission of military leaders were to collapse, just what would emerge in Egypt.
From the article:
Barack Obama Saturday, March 5, asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates to set out for Cairo without delay on an emergency mission as the unrest in Egypt veered out of control, debkafile's exclusive sources report from Washington. Friday night, thousands of protesters seized control of the headquarters Egyptian security police (Mahabis Namn El Dawla) in Alexandria, Cairo and the nearby 6 of October town, shutting down its operations across the country.
In the last hours, information reaching Washington indicated that control was slipping out of the hands of the Egyptian military junta ruling the country since Hosni Mubarak's overthrow; anti-American elements energized by Iran appeared to have strengthened their hold on the protest movement, causing deep concern in the White House.
The capture of the three Mahabis centers opened to disaffected elements the secret files on every political and military leader in the country, confidential information once accessible only to ex-intelligence minister Gen. Omar Suleiman before the uprising.
As you can see, the Iranian influence on what is going on behind the scenes is quite stark and one has to shudder if we were to actually see an unholy alliance between the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Iranians at a time like this.
Bottom line is this - if the military junta collapses, Egypt will be thrown into a chaos and a blood bathed pit that we haven't seen world wide in decades. The massing of those wishing control would spark unbelievable atrocities and bedlam. But hey, this is the democracy all of those news pundits in America clamored about. I wonder how many CNN reporters will be on the streets when the gangs of Shias linked to Tehran start piling the bodies up on street corners. I wonder how many cries of "Democracy Now!" will be heard when 30,000 Coptic Christians are wiped out with gunfire and bombs.
Gates on urgent mission to Cairo as military rulers lose grip
Barack Obama Saturday, March 5, asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates to set out for Cairo without delay on an emergency mission as the unrest in Egypt veered out of control, debkafile's exclusive sources report from Washington. Friday night, thousands of protesters seized control of the headquarters Egyptian security police (Mahabis Namn El Dawla) in Alexandria, Cairo and the nearby 6 of October town, shutting down its operations across the country.

While the Obama administration has a better inside picture of Egypt's opposition groups than it has about Libya, intelligence is still inadequate about the shape of the local leadership of those groups and to whom they defer.
Last Wednesday, March 2, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused Iran of stirring the pot when she addressed the House Appropriations Committee: "They (the Iranians) are using Hizballah… to communicate with counterparts… in (the Palestinian movement) Hamas who then in turn communicate with counterparts in Egypt," she said.
debkafile's sources report that large sums of Iranian petrodollars have reached the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and radicalized its message to the Egyptian people. Military young leaders are believed to have executed a coup and displaced the veterans. The Palestinian Hamas has turned its well-oiled smuggling machine into a channel for transmitting Iranian cash to keep Egyptian Islamic extremists on the march.
The Israeli government is the only one in the region to show no concern about violent mayhem spurting up across its border, and has apparently shrugged off the key role played by the Palestinian rulers of Gaza in stirring up trouble in Egypt at Tehran's behest ,and the rising strength of the Muslim Brotherhood - both of which have a dangerous impact on Israeli security.

And our own U.S. government has been building up and training Egypt's military to the tune of a $1 billion plus a year.
Even while though when the Egyptian military trains for war, they do so with the view of Israel as the enemy.
What does that tell you about the peace treaty?
One would think that there would have been smarter people running our country who would have had the forsight that one day the MB could get control.
Think about all those U.S. weapons and traing in the hands of the bad guys.
Even so, Clinton just told the Congress the Obama Administration wants to keepp funding the Hebollah-infiltrated Lebanese Army!
Clueless in Washington. Absolutely clueless!
