Spoke with retired very senior CIA Exec last evening. His words "Of course the Muslim Brotherhood is behind all this. They are the only ones organized or funded. It's as if we bet all our life savings on a horse that just dropped dead in the backstraight."
More follows.
Good analogy.
They are not “democracy” seekers. They are being run by radical Islamists. The $ here come from Iran. The Muslim Brotherhood is the only organized opposition.
Ever since Carter, we have given Egypt aprox 3 billion $ a year. If Mubarak falls, (and with police leaving, this may be final straw,) we lose our best Islamic friend in ME. All the anti-Soviet opns in Afghanistan and later the anti-Talibanopns staged out of Cairo West AFB.
A “new” Egypt will be as anti-US as Iran, if not worse. These are the people who killed Sadat. This is not about freedom. This is all about anti-West Islamic dominance.
I’m not sure how organized this is. I’m sure the Muslim Brotherhood would like to take credit for it. The problem is that it’s a grass roots movement, and organizers don’t have much control over a grass roots movement.
The Muslim Brotherhood was helped, organized and funded
by CODE PINK, Bill Ayers, Dohrn, and the usual suspects.
So 1600 is aware of this, condones this, funds this,
and is behind every lever of this.
Coming to a subdivision near you.
BTW, in 1979, all the MSM and “freedom lovers” told us that the overthrow of the Shah of Iran was great and the Grand Ayatollah Khomeini would be a great friend of the US because he had lived in Paris, etc.
Is this that 3am phone call?
Looks like Hillery isn’t doing such a good job at the State Department, and OhlyO certainly is doing a brilliant job at screwing everything up.
” They are the only ones organized or funded”
What about Soro’s/Brezinski/Kissinger? Their guy Mohamed El Baradei was sent over there. El Baradei is hooked up with Soros/Brezinski through the International Crisis Group. They condemned Mubarak right away by calls for the government to stop using violence against the protesters. Soro’s group was also involved in the “red” color revolution in Thailand. El creepo is also involved in the nuclear proliferation treaty with obama. Kissinger said obama has a chance to bring in a new world order just last year.

Mubarack - like all authoritarians except Pinochet - was always doomed to implode in some ugly way. The only surprise was the exact time it was going to happen.

Drama queens abound.
Isn't gun control cool?
Al Jazeera is reporting that some people who know the police in their area have told them that the disappeared police are organizing and doing the looting in order to justify a crackdown.
This tactic is a common practice all over the world - even in America and England they have agent provocateur.
Well that would be because as reports out of Egypt all night are identifying the missing police in plain clothes as the majority doing the looting which is breathtaking to say the least. The police have also abandoned the border cross points.
Its all over the other threads. Its complete madness.
I don’t give a damn if Egypt tears itself to pieces. So long as the American Navy and Marines control the Suez Canal. Might also be a good time for Israel to declare the Camp David accords null and void, since the Egyptian Gov’t no longer exists, and reclaim the Sinai as an “emergency buffer zone.”
Ah the joys of living in an unarmed society/S
Reuters needs to check definition of vigilante
In Egypt as in Boston, the police are cowards and thugs. The people in Eqypt are better off with a militia then relying on the police for protection since all they will get from the police are extortion and a bullet to the back of the head.
“”are standing outside holding sticks, razors and other weapons to prevent people from coming in.””
Other weapons? Are the citizens of Egypt not allowed to own guns? Do all Muslim countries have gun control?
Except for terrorists maybe?
