Personally I don't think that allowing the sale of 125 M1-series tanks to Egypt shows a muslim agenda on Borat Osama's part at all. Egypt already has 1,130 M1A1s which they built themselves using a factory and production licence given to them by Ronald Reagan, who I don't think any of us are accusing of being a secret muslim, and Reagan also either sold Egypt, or approved the sale to Egypt by Austria, of over 1,000 M60-series tanks. Arming Egypt and breaking their old dependancy on Soviet equipment and advisers is a long-standing and perfectly sensible US policy. --[[User:JMairs|JMairs]] 13:59, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

Supplying Egypt with US weapons also helped with the Camp David agreement, which has been a huge boost to Israel's security. --[[User:JMairs|JMairs]] 13:59, 23 August 2011 (EDT)
