Contrast this uprising with the attempted uprising in Iran awhile back. Obama didn’t lift a finger to assist the Iranians. This tells me quite clearly Obama wants the middle east controlled by Muslim radicals.
AMB. JOHN BOLTON: Is Democracy Coming to Egypt at Last?

As seen on Fox News Channel’s “Happening Now with Jon Scott and Jenna Lee” on January 28.
FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR JOHN BOLTON: I think what’s clearly happened today [in Egypt] is that the Muslim Brotherhood, the radical Islamist party in Egypt has called it’s supporters into the street. I don’t think it was present on the first two or three days.
I think after the Friday prayers the Brotherhood brought its people out. That’s why the protests are even more extensive today. That constitutes no doubt about it a direct threat to the military government, and I think the failure of the other security forces to bring the demonstrations under control also now explains the presence of the military.
Let me be clear here, this is not just the Mubarak-family government. The military has ruled Egypt since Gamal Nasser and they over through King Farook.
It’s the military that is the real government and they are not going to go peacefully.
I think the question is whether and to what extent the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islamists have infiltrated the leadership. If the military holds firm it’s entirely possible, although bloody, that the government can hold onto power. That doesn’t necessarily mean Mubarak will be in power, but the military will be, and I think that is why this contrast makes it so important for people to understand, this is not a choice between the Mubarak government on one hand, and sweetness and light, Jeffersonian democracy on the other.
I don’t think we have evidence yet that these demonstrations are necessarily about democracy. You know the old saying, “one person, one vote, one time.” The Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t care about democracy, if they get into power you’re not going to have free and fair elections either.

Jimmy helped topple a secular country and leave an Islamic state in place of it, why would you expect Barry to do any differently?
This story sounds like complete nonsense. How do you equate sending an Egyptian dissident to a “summit for activists” into US goal to undermine a stable regime that was friendly to us. Even the umbrella name “summit for activists” sounds silly.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
As much as it gets irritating to hear America being blamed for every cirsis around the world and all peoples’ miseries in the developing world, we have to acknowledge that American foreign policy, and not just under Peanut Man although he of course was the most horrible, has often been Militant Islam’s best friend. The arbitrary backing of certain jihadist terror groups and fomenting chaos in all the wrong places shows we do not understand it.
Although with a large chance of political islamic armies using these moments to launch epic war with Israel, this could simply be the inevitable Biblical end of times. Good thing those of us who know God know how that will end.
Egypt’s internet was taken down. Isn’t the progressive democrats and Obama trying to get the same power?
So Zero is backing an Islamist Sharia-loving government right on Israel’s border?
The greater caliphate under Iran’s ayatollahs is just what Axelrod and Zero ordered?
BS. They left this mess smoldering and now think they need to make some halfass statement.
The stupidity behind this U.S. policy to help topple Mubarak is breathtakingly stupid. I guess the thought has not occurred to Obama and Hillary that they are handing Egypt over to Iran and the Islamists.
