re: #478 SanFranciscoZionist

Great. I’ve always wanted to realize—with Israel’s ass being held to the fire—that the Egyptian Army was standing between Order and Chaos.

Really. I’ve dreamed of this moment. After this part, comes the part of the dream where the bloody hands come out of the walls, and start to tear at me.

Odd, isn’t it, that that is what it has come to. The Turkish Army fills a similar role in maintaining Turkish secularism. It’s one of the reasons the Isreali-Turkish relationship has been so strong vis-a-vis other Muslim countries in the ME. That’s why I thought the attack on the flotilla (armed with hand-thrown missiles and iron bars !eleventy!) was so rock dumb.
