This would be a great time to be armed with a couple of Glocks with a 30 round clip in Egypt.
There are a lot of fallahin peasants and escaped convicts who don’t care about freedom or democracy...it’s just an opportunity to take somebody elses stuff.
Imagine if bloods and crips street gangs from the inner city and escaped convicts from the pen were roaming through your neighborhood.
Egypts gun laws are worse than Bloombergs NY. You can’t have em.
Yet the Army told citizens we won’t prosecute you if you kill a thief. Just leave their body outside and they’ll pick it up.
Live target practice!!! If you were armed.
Looks like this is it. Last flight or two out of Egypt will happen right after cufew lifts at dawn. It was announced that there will be no more USG flights out after Thursday.
Brian Williams was saying awhile ago that they are safe.Those fighting are not interested in them.
I just shook my head when I heard him say that.
Just like the Koreans who stood on the roofs of their buildings to protect their businesses after the Rodney King verdict, our right to own guns is all that separates us from anarchy, especially when a despot opens the jails and lets loose criminals on the populace.
Where are the U.S. aircraft carriers?
May all of our people get out safe, please God.
Amen
Place-Marker.
We have more than several posts about O meeting with ElBaradai and MB. There are news accounts of both (ElB & MB would revolt in the streets) saying this would happen, There are Accounts of O with staff who has strong links to MB, which was on his faith advisory. She sat on a panel which called for integration of MB in Jordan and Egypt. He knew it was going to happen and then he says ‘it needs to happen now’.
For reference time Tel Aviv, Israel approximately 0546.
In fairness to BO, this is above his pay grade.
Reagan, HW Bush, Clinton and W Bush all supported Mubarek. He carried their water and did their bidding ever since Sadats brains and blood were spattered on his suit 30 years ago.
He’s gotta feel pretty bad that Obama threw him under the bus with his own grandmother.
That’s why our divinely inspired founding fathers gave us the 2nd Amendment....just in case the gubmint violates the 1st.
He should have retired. It was time. And Obama didn’t have the backbone to make him believe it.
Mubarak’s stubbornness proves that Israel has every right and responsibility to arm itself against the muslim mindset that would prefer to destroy its own country than to relinquish power.
Yep.
They remind me of the hippies in "Mars Attacks."
This is what I know:
Feb. 2nd:
* 1957 UN adopts a resolution calling for Israeli troops to leave Egypt
* 1958 Syria joins Egypt in United Arab Republic
Feb 3rd
2007 Obama announces his candidacy for President
2/4/1938 Adolf Hitler seized control of the German army
2/4/1969 PLO formed
On February 7, 1984, President Reagan ordered the Marines to begin withdrawal from Lebanon
>>>”They remind me of the hippies in “Mars Attacks.” “<<<
lol
I was just pondering that- where are the AK’s? No one seems to have guns.
On MSNBC they showed a white truck on the ramp to the bridge where a gang of men appeared to attack and likely kill the driver.
Lots of molotovs- few guns.
