The USZ is sending warships, including one with 800 troops, and other military assets to Egypt as the revolution in the North African country has started slipping out of their diplomatic control. Officials in Washington have stated that the move is to be prepared in case of an evacuation of Americans from Egypt. Analysts say that that military intervention in Cairo is being contemplated whereas the deception masters of Pentagon are asserting that the objective of the deployment is mainly for the evacuation of US citizens in case the situation in Egypt further deteriorates. Separately, a USZ aircraft carrier has been asked to abort its mission and stay in the Mediterranean. The move comes after reports last month that a USZ Army aviation regiment had been mobilized for deployment to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula to back the Multinational Force and Observers overseeing the Egypt-Israhell peace treaty.

The recent move comes against the backdrop of deepening political stalemate in Egypt, where swarms of demonstrators are still spilling out into central Cairo's Liberation Square, demanding the ouster of embattled Israhelli Snake President Hosni Mubarak. On Sunday, opponents of Mubarak, including Egypt's main opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, held negotiations with Vice President Omar Suleiman as part of efforts to extract the country out of its political standoff. Muslim Brotherhood, however, has discarded the regime's proposed reform plans, asserting that protesters would not accept anything but Mubarak's resignation. In another development, USZ President Barack Obama called for a "representative government" in Egypt after government and opposition parties failed to narrow down their differences. Millions of Egyptians took to the streets on Sunday to honor hundreds of protesters killed during the anti-government rallies of the past 13 days.
