Globe & Mail ^ | Feb 2, 2011 | PAUL KORING

Hosni Mubarak needs to quit now, an increasingly frustrated Washington demanded as President Barack Obama struggled to contain a worsening Egyptian crisis that threatens to spread across the Arab world.

“Now means yesterday,” spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday

If Mubarack steps down in the current chaos, the Muslim Brotherhood will be positioned to take power. That is what the Kenyan wants and helped create. He’s (soros) going to create an Islamic Kingdom run by the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East.

It will be the Islamic system of government - economic marxism, socially Muslim.

They are doing the same in Europe and hope to do it in America, too. I think that is why Dear Reader is denying permits for oil drilling in the US. He (Soros) wants to crash our currency and economy.

Here:

Barack Obama’s demand that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak accept an immediate transition of power has hardly calmed an anxious Israeli people watching the fall of its closest Arab ally. For Israelis, the American President doesn’t appear principled and resolute but untrustworthy and flailing.

By insisting that Mr. Mubarak immediately resign, Mr. Obama undermines the possibility of a peaceful transition that could empower democrats, rather than the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood. Allowing Mr. Mubarak to remain in office until September, as he has offered, would allow the secular opposition to begin organizing for the election. So far, the only organized opposition is the Brotherhood.

What I said at # 55:

Just finished reading The Fourth Turning.

While the book could have used some more structure and editing to make its points better, the basic information and conclusions were both fascinating and compelling.

One bottom line is that major wars happen with regularity in human history and, Marc Faber is right, we are due for a big one in the next decade or so.

This is outrageous.

The guy said he would step down and allow elections to proceed. They need time to get candidates lined up, etc...

And Zero demands he leave “now”.

I can’t even think of what to call this. It’s inconceivable that we’d be articulating this position.

Perhaps the Tea Parties need to start up again and demand Zero’s removal. After all, he apparently sides with “peaceful protestors”.

And LSM lies and says that Obama only made “veiled calls” for Mubarak to leave!

That’s also outrageous.

Very reminiscent of the farce that was Honduras and that Zelaya character.

CONTAIN? He is the reason it's happening... Effing amatuer...

Obama, the Muslim supremacist, knows exactly what he is doing. Egypt in its current state is not the sort of radical muslim government wanted by the Obama crew.

Obama may be an idiot, but he knows exactly what he's doing in Egypt. He wants this domino to fall and fall fast so that its momentum will not be lost.

Obama wants a muslim fundie revolution in the ME and he is doing his part to encourage it. Nothing would please him more if signs and placards with his photo started popping up on the Cairo streets.

As Louis Farrakhan, a muslim, proclaimed, Obama is the Messiah (and he didn't mean Christian messiah). Just where do you suppose he got that idea from? Considering that he is Obama's friend...wouldn't Obama have either given him that idea or at least confirmed it?

And while on the subject, what do you suppose was the reason for the meeting between Ahmadinejad and Farrakhan when Ahmadinejad was in the U.S. back on September 26, 2010 (source)? Add to that tidbit the fact that Mohammed ElBaradei is an Iranian frontman.

Just wild speculation, but this stuff isn't happening in a vacuum.

This ‘thin client’ in the wh is depending upon his academia cabinet and czars to come up with solutions. This is sad, really sad. If one of his muzzie buddies blows up a ship in the Suez Canal, it’s all over.

This really has become intolerable. Everybody always TALKS about that man but nobody ever DOES anything about him.

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.”

“The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

So somebody tell me why Barry the Idiot wasn’t this animated a few months ago when it looked like Iran was going down this same path.

I think Hussein has showed his true colors in supporting the Islamofascists in both Iran and Egypt.

If Egypt goes down... then they will be sooo frickin close to achieving their goal of a caliphate that they will be RABID to get it done.

But who gets to be the kaliph? And how to handle the sunni/shite split? ME war? Saud v. Iran?

Actually that quote was first posted on an American blog called the Professor of Life back in Dec 2009.
