The American government secretly backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising who have been planning “regime change” for the past three years, The Daily Telegraph has learned. The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police. On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

I wouldn’t sweat it. Sometimes people do a search, see nothing, then post. At the same time someone ELSE has just searched and posted. Then it looks like someone didn’t bother to search. Really, the only time it seems to be a big deal is if someone is posting the same material but linking to a personal blog. Blogpimping, I think it’s called. Otherwise it’s nothing a simple admin action can’t resolve, and is easily dismissed as part and parcel of the interwebz.
Cheers.
So, let’s see: Someone Lincoln’d Fernidad. Then somone Fernidaded Kennedy. Then someone Kennedy’d Sadat. Then someone Sadat’d Chauchesku. And you are thinking someone is going to Chauchesku Mubarek.
I think the general rule here is - if it’s been more than 4 hours since the last thread it’s okay to post it again.
Re: Search coming up empty - here’s the advice Jim Robinson gave about it....
The FR search works best if you confine it to one or two significant words of the title (usually one is all you need) and stay away from words of three characters or less. Those don’t work at all. And avoid typos by using cut and paste rather than typing the words in.
Also, it appears that some people are not choosing the “Title” option in the pull down. That’s required if you wish to search by title.
In many ways our "Compassionate Conservative" (BARF) was naive, misguided and misled by many advisors, to include Condi.
Worse yet, was his being allowed to be snookered and taken in by the pro-Islamic lobbyist, facilitated by one of the MOST dangerous (IMHO) so called "Conservatives"....GROVER NORQUIST....(and WHY is he still part of the Republican/Conservative establishment, I ask?) who was instrumental in influencing W as well as facilitating the entre into the WH of groups such as CAIR and encouraging the DHS, FBI, DOD, etc. to hire more Moozies which allowed our (potential) enemies access to classified information as well as influence the Government's actions.
We saw this early on after 9/11 when Bush came out swinging and then shorty thereafter, retreated like a little puppy dog, mouthing the Islamo-Fascist/Leftist mantra about Islam being a "Religion of Peace," etc.
While he may have been, though it seems we would have heard about it, why didn't Bush do more to forment and support a revolution within Iran?
AS SOON as I learned (again W being influence and WRONG) that we were going to allow Iraq and Afghanistan form new Governments with Sharia being the "Controlling Auhority," I knew our efforts in both countries were doomed.
Might as well pack up and come home, cuz an Islamic-controlled country will NEVER be a true ally and sooner or later, an open and dedicated, enemy!
I’m just starting to get up too speed on whats really going on here. Interesting article on Foxnews.com with two short paragraphs that have some ominous tones.
“The Mubarak government boasts about economic achievements: rising GDP and a surging private sector led by a construction boom and vibrant, seemingly recession-proof banks.
But many say the fruits of growth have been funneled almost entirely to a politically connected elite, leaving average Egyptians surrounded by unattainable symbols of wealth as they struggle to find jobs, pay daily bills and find affordable housing.”
Boy that sure sounds alot like the very same thing thats going on here.
yup
This, from the A-hole who thinks our constitution sucks, and tells us we are indebted to the contributions of Islam.
No, Mr. Ubama Hussein, we are not indebted to Islam, and there is no right to any freedoms when you are governed under Sharia Law in a Muslim country.
Mr Soebarkah, GFY.
If true, this is very dumb.
This is yet another example of nobama being as destroyer. noibama hates Freedom, hates Americans and hates America. nobaama and his irritating wife, mooch-elle, are just destructive grifters who hate.
Yep! And, nobody seems to be focusing on the "bad" chit that the muslem brotherhood brings to the party!
Something here reminds me of how we supported Castro and his rebels. Look what that did for(to)the USA
What can you expect from academia? Hell, Maddy chased after that little clown in North Korea and gave hm a signed basketball.
Hildabeast has no clue what is happening around the world.
The Zero Administration biggest asset is JOE BIDEN!
We have no one who understands what is happening around the world as they think it should be as they read in their leftist manuals.
And that is putting it mildly!
Though hardly an "authority," (I've only been studying the "Religion of--'Rest'--in Peace" for about 18 months) the more I learn about this faux, cult-cum-religion (which IMHO is more dangerous to mankind that ALL of the other "isms" combined, planet earth has ever faced) the more "concerned" I get.
If anyone does not see a Middle East dominated solely by Islamic-controlled countries as a very serious threat, then they are living in the land of the deluded.
Rather than forging a closer and friendlier relationship with the ONLY country which is worth supporting in the ME (Israel) it appears that for decades now, we (and that includes all the past 6 or 7 Administrations) have walked a fine line between aiding Israel while insisting they take steps inimical to their security, if not, survival.
There will NEVER be a ME, ("Two-State") Peace solution as long as there are Islamo-Fascist who use this as a ruse when their ultimate goal is the destruction of Israel and the elimination of all Jews.
I mean, it's not like they have exactly made this a big secret, yet few are willing to recognize, much less accept this, as fact!
Well isn’t that just great? So now I guess the radical islamic “Muslim Brotherhood” takes over. Thanks Barry, keep the change.
Like it! More than a few good ‘word plays’ here.

I suspect that this is precisely the outcome that America’s first muslim President is hoping for. He is obligated to spread islam and defeat the western infidels. The creation of an islamist state on the border of Israel would fit in nicely with those plans.
The intelligent idiots in this administration cry freedom for the people of egypt, just overlook the stoning, beheading, honor killings, slavery and the rest of the sharia law sillyness. I feel like we went back in time and we are reliving the 1930’s
Agree. . .Believe, Obama approached Egypt issue a bit differently, than GW or Condoleeza, for that matter; i.e. though eyes/ears and enabling hands. . . of Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama, Inc. thinks foreign policy is like a Monopoly game. Theirs is as well, a play with fire MO. While focusing on their own 'self-servance' per their Agenda; they are oblivious to the worst of real-world consequences.
BEWARE AMERICA; should be sign posted on White House door whenever Libs in house. (perhaps DANGER ZONE more appropriate when Libs are communists/Marxist/Alynsky-ites; Muslim and/or Islamist sympathizers.)
Yes, 2012 Revolution shaping up 'for' Obama - or so they hope. The rest of civilization be damned.
It indicates to me that the State Department as a whole doesn’t know what is going on. If they had information about a planned uprising in 2011, what have they been doing in the intervening three years? I mean, aren’t we supposed to be basing policy on this kind of information?
