Krauthammer: Egypt at a ‘tipping point,’ predicts ‘explosion’ when the mosques empty tomorrow

Hosni Mubarak’s vague address to the Egyptian people on Thursday has led to uncertainty in the country that has some prognosticating the worst.

On Thursday’s Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Charles Krauthammer accused the Egyptian president of being delusional, and said his response will lead to “an explosion.”

“That was a shocking speech and what is shocking about it is they had raised the expectation of the crowd in the square,” Krauthammer said. “There was an announcement by the military earlier that their demands would be met, as we saw all of the dancing, and all of a sudden you get a speech where the president of Egypt is clueless, delusional, speaking in paternalistic tones the way he did two weeks ago, as if nothing has happen[ed] — speaking to the demonstrators as his children. They see him as their tyrant. It seems to me that they are at a point where they are going to have an explosion.”

Duh. Protest organizers told people to go back to work and wait until Fridays to protest.

And what Egypt does is somehow Krauthammer’s business? Delusion is hip deep in some parts of this world.

Hmmm... mohammedans enraged when leaving one of their indoctrination centers then blowing things up.

Wow Chuck, you never miss a beat, do you.

LED to uncertainty? Hey Charles, the level of uncertainty and the potential for disaster as a result would've been far greater if Mubarak had stepped down immediately. That would've left a huge power vacuum into which the only organized group in the country would've enthusiastically stepped -- the Muslim Brotherhood. They've been waiting to do so for many decades.

I don't think the Kraut has the insight to predict what will happen. I doubt an "explosion." Psychiatrists routinely over-predict violence and catastrophe. They don't have the empirical base, just some sort of pompous "judgment." Or whatever. They are about the same as any other msm pundit.

Charles Krauthammer is delusional for PRETENDING to be
a shrink, while enabling, first, the Sociopath-in-Chief to
fool "most of the people, some of the time" and
destroy America and its allies,
and second, al Qaeda-Ikhwan in their facade with
CODE-PINK, Weather Underground, Int. Communism,
and the DNC (for whom Krauthammer has labored since Mondale).

Dear Mubarak, welcome to the Tea Party! IN other words it’s a full court press now to make this guy worse than Hitler.

Now now, Just mythoughts. Dr. Krauthammer is paid to pontificate on whatever is the subject of the day. Everybody has to make a living.

Drop a 500 pound barrel of cement on each one from 15,000 feet — right when their butts are going into the air.

Krauthammer's "PEOPLE" trying to overthrow Egypt for Iran and the MSM:


"We LOVE You, Krauthammer, Iran, al Qaeda, Ikhwan, and Obama."


The Real Egyptians:


Rule #1: pRes_ _ent Obama's Enemies are America's allies.
Rule #2: If no Birth Certifcate: see #1

He pontificates as if his writings get stamped 'approved' by the magic teleprompter programmer over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Talk about delusions of grandeur.
