U.S. giving Muslim Brotherhood Egypt tanks and fighter jets – Jihad Watch


This is great: the Egyptian military will be all set when it goes to war with Israel. “Muslim Brotherhood inherits U.S. war gear,” by Rowan Scarborough for The Washington Times, December 6:

For Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government, more battle tanks and jet fighters are on their way from the United States.

Cairo’s military link to Washington has remained intact, meaning the U.S. will continue to modernize the biggest military in Africa — even as President Mohammed Morsi has decreed near-absolute power for himself and his supporters and opponents battle outside his palace.

Analysts say Egypt’s military buildup presents risks for Washington — and Israel — with the growing influence of the Brotherhood, whose overriding goal is to establish Shariah, or Islamic, law worldwide.

A Pentagon statement to The Washington Times on Thursday said: “We are always reviewing our foreign assistance to make sure foreign assistance advances U.S. objectives and is being used for the right purposes.”

For now, Egypt is due 200 M1A1 Abrams battle tanks, the same mechanized firepower manned by American soldiers, bringing Egypt’s inventory to a robust 1,200.

Also in the pipeline is a squadron of the Air Force F-16 Falcon, a multipurpose warplane able to dogfight and drop ordnance.

The government awarded Lockheed Martin Corp. a contract in March 2010 for 20 F-16s, the last to be delivered next year. That would increase Egypt’s total fleet to 240, according to a company press release at the time.

“Egypt has far and away the largest army in Africa,” said Egypt analyst Robert Springborg, a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.

The billions of dollars in U.S. military aid — in annual $1.3 billion stipends — have made the Egyptian air force the fourth-largest F-16 operator among 25 countries. Egypt’s 4,000 tanks, including the 1,000 or so M1A1s, make it the world’s seventh-largest tank army.

“This is a pretty substantial capacity that they have developed,” Mr. Springborg said….

And what target are they most likely to use it all against?

  1. I guess you read Jonathan Cahn’s ‘The Harbinger’ about the warning of Isaiah 9/10.

    9/10: “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stones; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.” (a date in time?)
    9/11: But the LORD raises the adversaries of Rezin against him, and stirs up his enemies. (last year?)
    9/12: The Syrians on the east and the Philistines on the west devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. (this year?)
    Time’s prophecies are not lineal but cyclical or cynical repetition.

  2. Your absolutely right! I thought the same thing at times, it does say in the Bible that God will blind them and strike them with confusion. God bless and keep you.

  3. Ben Franklin admonished the citizens of the new republic to secure two documents in their homes and businesses: Holy Bible and the newspaper.
    The former is full of truthful directions how to live. The latter is only merely for training puppies. Now, we have the Internet, and so do our enemies. Unfortunately, TMI is nearly worse than none (Too Much Information).
    Although obaal bin Liar may give his brothers sophisticated hardware, I doubt they can understand the instructions. I was a USAF/ATC flight surgeon during in the late 60’s while Iranians were allowed train in central thrust jets (T-38). All I can say about Persians that they were certainly wild donkeys and unable to ‘multi-task’. Both F-16’s and Abram tanks are vastly more intricate than the guts of goats and camels—although they love to inhale the latter.
    We know our God will confuse our enemies, but what extent? He assisted the Jews in 1948, ’67,and ’73. I’m not sure His people warm the cockles of His heart. Nor is He coddling new Babylon, USA:

    Jeremiah 51:58:
    “Thus says the LORD of hosts: The Broad Wall of Babylon shall be leveled to the ground, and her high gates shall be burned with fire. The peoples labor for nothing, and the nations weary themselves only for fire.” (Nuke in NYC?)

    • Under no circumstances should we give an unstable government anywhere in the world our most advanced air and ground equipment. What bloody a**wad came up with this idea. That type of technology must be safeguarded and kept on American shores unless we elect to unleash it to kick some terrorist azz. The limp-wristed individual who came up with this idea should be horse-whipped and drug through the streets. This will be an idea that we will soon regret.
