Essentially the only limits are the imagination of the Egyptian government and the Egyptian military. For them its a bit like shooting fish in a barrel at this point.<br /><br />In the past the Egyptians have allowed the US the right to fly over their air space unrestricted and they've allowed US warships to move to the front in the Suez Canal in times of crisis. For starters, I would expect US over flight priveleges and preferential treatment with regards to use of the Suez Canal to be revoked. In fact, US forces will likely be denied US of the Suez Canal and Egyptian airspace all together. <br /><br />That's just for starters and more actions would be expected to follow and they will get progressively worse until America gets its act together. Unfortunately with the nature of the people who currently run things in America it seems unlikely that they will get their act together. Hopefully I'm wrong.<br /><br />Even if I am wrong and American officials do get their act together much damage has been done and it is unlikely that it can ever be totally rectified. Supporters of the MB have harmed America and its interests. To the best of my knowledge, the Egyptian military never has harmed America or its interests. To come down on the side of the MB in this situation is wrongheaded on so many levels its hard to know where to begin. At a minimum, a nation who befriends its enemies while undermining its friends and those who aren't enemies to it is someone who likely will not be trusted by any one. Right now it would seem unwise for anyone to trust America, at least with its current leadership.

Given that his actions have consistently supported the rise of jihadism in the region, that is, at best a questionable presumption. <br /><br />No disagreement on the arrogance however.
