Video: Your (American) tax dollars at work running over Copts with tanks
Here's video of Egyptian tanks running over Christian Copt demonstrators on Sunday night in Cairo. It looks like a far more dangerous version of the running of the bulls in Pampalona, Spain.If you're an American, as you watch this video, realize that your tax dollars are paying for the Egyptian army to do this (okay, you're not the only ones, but you get the point). And you may soon be paying more and giving more advanced weapons to the Egyptian army in order to get Ilan Grapel released.
Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Blake Hounshell via Twitter).
Aren't you glad the Obama administration rushed to cut Mubarak loose last January?

Carl,
Not to defend the indefensible Egyptian Army but...
Those are not "tanks." They're Fahd and Khalid wheeled APC's. Both are made in Egypt using German designs.
al-Q calls every HumVee and other mil-vehicle that they blow up in Afghanistan a "tank."
YOURS,
R
