“Weapons Smuggling into Egypt from Libya increases”

CAIRO (AP) -- The number of weapons smuggled into Egypt across the Libyan border is on the increase, with thousands of weapons flooding into the country, security officials said on Monday.

The officials said 576 weapons including modern sniper rifles were seized by police in the last three months in the Egyptian oasis of Siwa near the Libyan border. The number of weapons that reached buyers undetected are believed to be five times the number seized.

Rights activists and some politicians accuse the army generals who took over from Mubarak for the continued precarious security, arguing that the military had the resources and manpower to restore security. They cite the near total absence of violent incidents during recent parliamentary elections for which army troops provided security. Voting in Egypt has in the past routinely been marred by violence.

Common Sense Review

I have no special powers but I saw this coming, so did President Obama see this coming?

Since the war's end, the State Dept  paid for teams of private security contractors who have been canvassing the country, examing former govt  arms depots and meeting with rebel militia commanders to try to account for and secure the remaining stock.  So far the survey teams have accounted for about 5,000 missiles.

The US has committed $40 million to secure Libyan's arms stock piles.

"the United States would continue to work closely with the Egyptian military which still receives more than $1.3 billion a year in American aid...

So the Administration pays Egypt’s military $1.3 billion a year, and offers Libya $40 million to buy arms stock piles but they cannot find the entire weapon stock pile in Libya…. Duh!

So while here in America, we the people struggle through these economic times, we are paying for weapon between the two countries that are in govt strife….

Gee can I see these weapons paid by American Taxpayers to be used against Americans…
