You know what? I have read about 15 different stories from various papers in the USA and around the world BUT there is one part of the story that all of them seem to leave out of it. Something I have personal experience with concerning Sharm El-Sheik.
If you click on the link (don’t forget to watch the 20 second video there!) you might get an idea what I am talking about.
Don’t you think this is a MAJOR EFFIN PART OF THE STORY?

The smaller South Camp, near Sharm el Sheikh on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, is situated on a bluff overlooking the Red Sea.� The camp contains all facilities normally required to support a reinforced battalion sized military unit.
I knew as soon as I started scrolling through one story after another that you would not find any of this reported.
The United States Army provides the single largest contingent to the MFO based at both North and South Camp.
The different activities provided by Task Force HQ, Support Battalion and US Battalion are described in the links above.
Why would the MSM care that there are always American soldiers stationed in Sharm?
Is this a part of the story that might of interested you?
Do you really think that tourists were the “only” targets?
I know, I know… A lot of very wealthy Europpean, American, and Middle East OIL magnates go there often. It is a resort town for the extremely FILTHY RICH… But do any of you think that maybe, just maybe, Gambling Saudi princes and tourists were not the only targets?
Are we there yet?
Nope… rove and libby are still free…

The police released photos of five Pakistani men wanted for questioning, but officials said no evidence linked them to the attack. Mohamed Ekhto, left, Rashid Ali, Tasadaa Hassan, Mohamed Anwar and Mohamed Aref.
SHARM EL SHEIK, Egypt July 25, 2005 — Egyptian officials, gave their first detailed account of a deadly terrorist strike at this Red Sea resort. All three explosions were suicide bombings and suggested that police checkpoints may have forced two of the bombers to set off their explosives early, before reaching targets packed with Western tourists.
As many as 17 foreigners were killed, most of them Europeans. One American was among the dead, according to the United States Embassy in Egypt, and news reports identified her as Kristina Miller, 27, of Las Vegas, who was vacationing here with her British boyfriend. The nationalities of three of the dead have not been determined, though they are believed to be Egyptian, the governor said. “What’s obvious is that they wanted to attack tourism,” Mr. Afifi said at a news conference here.
A senior security official speaking on condition of anonymity because of policy restrictions, said the police believed the bombers drove to Sharm el Sheik on remote mountain roads in two Isuzu pickup trucks. The main coastal roads in and out of Sharm el Sheik have many police checkpoints.
“The preparation and execution were local,” the security official said. “But perhaps the planning had foreign elements.”

Thaanks! I kindof thought it would… No one has a clue that Sharm has a lot of soldiers there mingling with all of those “Filthy Rich” oil tycoons and tourists.
It is pretty obvious why the MSM is not reporting on the US military link.
