Today’s ceremony demonstrates the firm belief of the United States that a strong Egypt is in the interest of the U.S., the region, and the world. We look to Egypt to continue to serve as a force for peace, security, and leadership as the Middle East proceeds with its challenging yet essential journey toward democracy. … Our thirty-four year security partnership is based upon shared interests and mutual respect. The United States has long recognized Egypt as an indispensible partner.
How long may I ask will it be before our ‘friends’the Chinese have a horde of technicians and engineers crawling all over them and copying all of the maintenance manuals. The Egyptians like all of our other ‘friends’ in the ME have no problem playing both sides.
