I've Been Thinking:

There was a huge debate in the Egyptian Parliament on nuclear weapons.

Representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood said the time has come for Egypt to build its own nuclear weapons.
Why? Because Israel has admitted to having nuclear weapons.
President Hosni Mubarak responded that, given the new facts on the ground, it might be time for Egypt to upgrade their defense systems, implying that nuclear weapons was taking it a step too far.

Here are the real facts on the ground in Egypt:
The Muslim Brotherhood has very little power to decide anything.
The Parliament has very little power to decide anything.
Mubarak has all the power and decides everything.

And Mubarak is far more afraid of Iran than of Israel.
And Mubarak knows that the Muslim Brotherhood gets support from Iran.
And Mubarak knows that is why they are pushing an anti-Israel line while Egypt's/Mubarak's real agenda is anti-Iran and anti-Iranian nukes.
