Mubarak trying to leverage himself to receive a bigger piece of the US foreign aid pie??

As far as I understand, he despises Hussein.. so this would seem to declare..

"US.. if you want my support, show me the $$$$... and to up the anty for good measure, I'm going to make "nice-nice" with a man we both despise..."

Or could this be an attempt at off-setting the US-Israelis "alliance", placing Israel once more in a geographical and military vise between two of the most powerful states in the region??

I certainly hope it's the former...

And fortunately, most Egytian military equipment is of US manufacture, and thus dependent upon US provided spare parts and ammunition.
