Reply With QuoteNot good, if something goes wrong between Israel and Egypt. Those missels are pretty good at hitting targets inland (+ 100km) and are pretty destructiv(same warhead as an ATACMS).
Kind of stupid to say "Harpoons? lol okays" when Egypt clearly desires to roll back the Peace Accords

Read the rest of the article at the linked page.President Barack Obama’s deputies are negotiating a $1 billion aid package with Egypt’s new Islamist government, even as Egypt’s cash-strapped military revealed that it is trying to buy $1 billion worth of German submarines that could threat Israel’s fast-growing offshore energy projects.
The Germans government has pointedly declined to deny the incendiary revelation about Egypt’s request to buy the two submarines.
Instead, the German government offered vague support for Israel, which is facing renewed threats from Iran’s nuclear program and the Muslim Brotherhood’s rise to power in Egypt.
“There has been no change in the German government’s position towards Israel, in the commitment the German government feels towards Israel’s security,” a spokesman for Germany’s prime minister’s told Der Speigel, a major German newspaper.
State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland did not respond to an inquiry by The Daily Caller.
The submarine purchase will likely be an issue in the U.S. election, because both parties are vying for support from a relatively large concentration of swing-voting Jewish Americans in Florida.
During the Democrats’ convention in Charlotte, for example, several speakers declared that Obama is a strong supporter of Israel’s defense.

Condition any aid to the adoption of a secular constitution. Otherwise, we will see sooner rather than later a MB's Islamic Republic in Egypt.Islamist groups, including Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters in the United States, oppose any recognition of Israel and its capital city.
But the brotherhood’s hostility is constrained by its need to revive Egypt’s stalled economy and to feed its population of over 80 million.
The Islamist government recently won promises of aid from Arab countries, and hopes to complete the $1 billion loan-forgiveness deal with Obama’s deputies by the end of the year.
We shouldn't sell Egypt anything in the way of Weaponry until we know how stable their leadership is.
Not only a secular constitution, but putting some real muscle behind it
And if they try to revise or change it later, an understanding war is acceptable and justified to revert to the previous status quo
These clowns can't be allowed to be secure and comfortable with the thought of turning Egypt into a theocracy, the seat of a Caliphate, again
