Egyptian Islamists Want Nukes. Another Victory For Carter The Peacemaker!

It’s a good thing that Israel has a peace treaty with them, otherwise this might be a problem:

Egyptian Parliament members have called on their government to seriously work to obtain nuclear weapons. The Egyptian newspaper al-Masry al-Youm reported that during a stormy meeting held Friday by the Parliament’s national security, defense, foreign and Arab affairs committees, Ibrahim al-Jaafri of the Muslim Brotherhood called on the government to “change the country’s diplomatic language”.

Oh. It’s the Muslim Brotherhood wants nukes. Maybe those “don’t try to destroy Israel any more” clauses of Camp David won’t work out after all, since the Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t really recognize them. Good thing the US has been giving them cutting edge defensive weaponry for the last couple of decades. Otherwise, someone might be able to come in and destroy their future bomb-making production lines.

Not like Egypt isn’t already violating the Camp David Accords. It’s just that this is a new way.
