Should the Muslim Brotherhood succeed in grabbing the reins in Egypt through their stooge ElBaradei, Israel will face an enemy with one of the largest and strongest military forces around, built on the most advanced American-made platforms. The IDF has not had to worry about defending two fronts at once until now and the impact will be felt immediately. An official said the IDF will need to undergo major structural changes, new units will need to be created and forces in the South will likely need to be beefed up.
Wikileaks posted a cable saying in 2009 that Egypt was stopping Iranian money from making its way through the country to Hamas in the Gaza Strip--a takeover by a strong Islamist government could change all that. Add to it the open anti-Israel attitude of Obama, and we could be facing a disaster that would sweep accross the middle east. The question must be asked--If the Islamists sweep the middle-east what will stop their movement from rising up in Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, North America? The Muslim Brotherhood has set down roots in all of these places--whether you choose to admit it or not.

Remember the Beirut spring when people poured out into the streets to demand freedom?
