Default Another Arab-Israeli War?

Seems that Egypt is moving more of its military into the Sinai, in violation of the peace accords and Israel is not very happy. There have been media reports of an letter asking the Egyptians to withdraw their units back across the Canal.

Anybody else hearing anything about this?

Awesome, I guess we're about to find out how well the Merkava-III fares against the export version of the M1...

Default Egyptian troop movements

As far as I know the Egyptian army is moving there to crack down on Islamist groups operating across the border with Palestinian territories - after tsaid Islamists ambushed and killed 26 Egyptian troops not long ago.

Egypt couldnt be interested in a scuffle with Israel now - considering the amount of aid the US pours into it to keep it "stable". ( read .- keep the army powerful and in control of theeconomy and the nation)

Net loss for the Egyptian army would be to great. Lose the war ( I imply they would) and also loose their financial backing from the US.

I dont see it.

ALL in my humble opinion of course.

I also don't think that the Maryland National Guard would take take to kindly to the Egyptian Army trying to over run thier camp which is along the border too, nore would the two other battalions under US control in the region

When Israel launches her pre-emptive strike against Iran, things may change a bit.

There is alot of talk that the Egyptians are moving armor, artillery and air defense units into the Siani and the Israelis are reported as having sent a formal note asking the Egyptain government to order the withdraw of these units.
