HC is like MaObama.

Neither one have the foggiest idea about what to say or do.
She has made several contradictions and policy reversals in the last 2 days.

Now that the situation has gone chaotic, all they can do is posture. Like their opinion matters........

And we have no Military option even being discussed to protect Americans in the region, not to mention our heavily bought interests.

Without a doubt it is. His puppet master planned this whole thing.

1558 Much is now expected of Mohamed ElBaradei from some of the protesters. A BBC Arabic correspondent, Assad el-Sawy, is now reporting that Mr ElBaradei is on his way to Liberation Square, where he is scheduled to address the protesters.

Stay safe Brother!

Thanks for the update. Any news about other forces coming to the area? Like the Suez Canal? I’m sure you are limited on what you can say, so God bless you Trooper! We are right here beside you! (M24 A-1 in my case. I’m sure in your case, that would be one of those awesome M110 SASS.)

A word search on “Egypt” in Isaiah’s writing show’s SOME of the HISTORY of God’s dealing with Egypt during his time and possibly in the future yea? (present day?)Depending on your eschatology take.

The burden of Egypt: Behold! Jehovah rides on a light cloud and comes into Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall tremble from before Him; and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its midst. Isaiah 19:1

And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians; and they each man shall fight against his brother; and each against his neighbor; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

Isaiah 19:2

would read all of chapters 19,20 if interested-and other scriptures that relate to it.

Stunner. Muslim Brotherhood Announces They Will Support El-Baradei
Gateway Pundit ^ | 1/30/2011 | Jim Hoft

Posted on Sunday, January 30, 2011 9:19:20 AM by Qbert

The radical Muslim Brotherhood announced moments ago that they will support Mohamed ElBaradei to negotiate with the government.

Reuters reported:

Egyptian opposition forces have agreed to support opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei to negotiate with the government, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood said on Sunday.

“Political groups support ElBaradei to negotiate with the regime,” Essam el-Eryan told Al Jazeera television.

Al Arabiya television carried the same report on screen but did not attribute it directly to Eryan.

ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, came back to Egypt on Thursday night, just in time for the “Day of Anger” protests which have left President Hosni Mubarak clinging to power with the army in the streets. ARAB TV CHANNELS QUOTES EGYPT’S BROTHERHOOD FIGURE ESSAM EL-ERYAN SUPPORTING ELBARADEI TO “NEGOTIATE WITH REGIME”

El-Baradei has a long history with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Daily Beast reported:

Egypt’s new opposition leader, former International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei, has formed a loose alliance with the Brotherhood because he knows it is the only opposition group that can mobilize masses of Egyptians, especially the poor. He says he can work with it to change Egypt. Many scholars of political Islam also judge the Brotherhood is the most reasonable face of Islamic politics in the Arab world today. Skeptics fear ElBaradei will be swept along by more radical forces.

More… El-Baradei says in CNN interview Mubarak must leave “today” to make way for unity government. (Twitter)

ElBaradei is on his way to Liberation Square, where he is scheduled to address the protesters.

Sounds like the fix is in.

Further down on your link:

1526 Reuters has a full quote from Mr ElBaradei: "It is loud and clear from everybody in Egypt that Mubarak has to leave today," he told CNN. "He needs to leave today... to be followed by a smooth transition [to] a national unity government to be followed by all the measures set in place for a free and fair election."

1512 And more from the Nobel peace laureate: he has reportedly told CNN that President Mubarak must leave the country "today" to make way for a unity government.

1507 A new comment from opposition politician Mohamed ElBaradei, reported by the AFP news agency: The US is "losing credibility by the day" by support the Mubarak regime, the former UN nuclear chief says.

Correct, now we know why so very little was done about Iran and their effort to manufacture a Nuclear Weapon. And we can expect that announcement very soon.

And Obama thought that he could just do his usual trick; Ignore it and let the UN handle it, it will just go away all by itself and everyone will forget about it. And if or when the subject comes back up, he will promptly take credit for it either way.

Muslim Brotherhood Announces They Will Support El-Baradei

Well, maybe that leader has emerged. On top of his close ties to the MB, which go way back and are not recent, and to Iran (including family connections), he has close ties to the UN, which has lately become Muslim Central.

This morning on ABC with Christiane Amanpour(sp?), ElBaradei told her that the Muslim Brotherhood would be part of the new government in Egypt. He went further and said the Muslim Brotherhood is in no way extremist and then compared them to our "Evangelical Christians".
