The Embassy and it vehicles are classed as US soil and they can be defended from within, however sending Israel to attack Egypt would be classed as a declaration of war and given that they have just reconfirmed the status of their peace agreement there is little to no chance that Israel would wish to open up a war situation with Egypt.
Israel would think of itself rather than the US who should have had greater security within the compound. The US wouldn't have the timeframe to attack from their closest bases in Italy or Turkey (Who wouldn't give permission to fly and attack another Islamic country) an event that was at the time perceived to be a protest and wouldn't be prepared to take the fallout from attacking a mob in a foreign country whatever those on the right believe. $0.02 -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: 16 October 2012 07:37 To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] Hil takes one for the Bammer On 10/16/2012 02:25 AM, geoff wrote: > Oh and another thing.
