The square is on fire. Obama and his state department have been completely ineffectual.

I’m sure the State Run Media will soon be telling us that Obama himself is in the first wave of rescuers and will be flying out a C-130.

So Obama starts his third year by helping to promote a Civil War in one of the most Ancient Civilizations on the planet. Perhaps that merits a second Nobel Peace prize ?

mubarak is fighting back. Friday will be a free for all.

barak obama is lost. No idea what to do.

The army will let the mubarak thugs beat up the islamists for a while then takeover.

You cannot order people to leave. You can only state that you cannot guarantee their safety, especially if those folks that normally help you in times of crises,..are leaving the country.

“The heavy gunfire came hours after Mubarak supporters charged into Cairo’s central square on horses and camels brandishing whips while others rained firebombs from rooftops.”

A scene from Indiana Jones. Lordy, this is bad.
