Well, it's clear to me.

No, I made a statement of what I actually think is going to happen.
I made a statement about "what I'd like to happen" yesterday, when I spoke of my desire to see Israel annex everything west of "the wall".
Possibly the US could crack down on Egypt and make them start acting civilized, but I wouldn't count on it.

No, Egypt's recent behavior is plenty good reason to see trouble on the horizon.
We've seen Egyptians ransack the Israeli embassy, with the Egyptian military doing nothing to stop it.
We've seen Egypt allow Palestinian terrorists from Gaza into Israel to murder civilians, and then whine piteously (as if they were somehow victims) when the gunfight with those terrorists also killed some Egyptian border guards.
We've seen Egyptians gang rape a famous American reporter, with the Egyptian government apparently seeing no crime worth investigating or prosecuting.
We've seen Egyptians rampage and massacre peaceful Copts, with the Egyptian military stepping in to prevent the Copts from defending themselves from the people who were massacring them.
