Senior Egyptian officials visiting Washington have failed thus far in their attempts to convince the AIPAC to allow the United States Congress to give Egypt the $200 million in aid which was promised to them.

The AIPAC has managed to get $2.4 billion in aid for Israel from Congress for this year alone but also has a veto over who should get any other aid from America.

This veto resulted in the freeze of aid to Egypt but which was put down to some alleged weapons smuggling into the Gaza Strip.

About one month ago, the House of Representatives approved its foreign aid bill, which stipulated that $1.1 billion in military aid would be transferred to Egypt.

"Hamas has jumped light years in its capabilities since Israel withdrew from Gaza two years ago," an Israeli official said. "Now that Hamas controls Gaza, it has got a massive stockpile of WMD (ready for use in 45 minutes) and are working on a nuclear ballistic missile just like Saddam was," he continued.
Time to invade again before thay launch an atomic weapon against New York on top of one of their home made qassams rockets, I think.
