Mubarak is less of an open-borders RINO than John Kyl.
What needed to happen was for the military to engineer a “Turkey like” situation where the military supported a secular democracy which lasted until just recently. Mubarak has just engineered a situation that that Islamists could have only dreamed of. Rampant corruption and crony capitalism will not last and Mubarak has made no move to reform it. His supporters are government employees and allied businessmen.
I channel surfed earlier and MSNBC was freaking out to the fact that the muslim brotherhood was BAD with terrorists ties.(Some report came in they COULD NOT spin) So they had some supposed experts on there spinning away trying so hard to say Obama’s muslim brotherhood was good people.
It was comical yet frightening.
Exactly. Remember ABC NEWS reported TWO anonymous WH leaks that he was stepping down. Then Panetta said yes then No. Hillary must be wretching her hair out and Obama must be smoking a cigarette and graying.
A big FU to the lecturer in chief.

What was that phrase again? Oh yes... "Above My Pay Grade". Ah-yup.
Good. Had to do some classes and errands. Will look on YouTube. I hope he literally DID gesture Obama’s importance in current events in Egypt. I know what he IS, but I also know what he’s NOT, and will gladly join him in gesturing. Maybe we can get some ink...
what gets me about all of this and what pisses me off is how the media here are ignoring the fact that far left wing groups from here and around the world are over there leading and backing this protest.
This shows now how the far left and radical islam is together .
Egyptian troops have withdrawn from their positions around the Presidential palace. Huge marches planned for tomorrow. Uh oh.
And Hillary is silent unless I missed her commentary.
There can’t be a military coup in Egypt. In fact, the only ones who deserve credit during the attempted Islamist coup is the Egyptian army. Other reasons besides the fact that the army will not let Egypt fall is the support of the Heshemites, Sauds ....and the enemy of their enemies...Israel, to a point.
Very true. In Arab society, the worst thing that can happen to you is losing face, because then the predators that surround you can decide that it's safe to rip you to pieces.
I would not be surprised that Mubarak is the kind of person who would rather go down in flames than slink away in humiliation. And if HE goes down in flames, he would want to do it in a way that takes Obama down with him.
Beware the proud old man who knows he's only going to live a few more years regardless.
Means he’s not there. The POLICE would be in trouble. The ARMY isn’t likely to be.
OMGosh!! I was tempted but couldn’t bring myself to listen to what those nuts were saying!
yep, Obama thought the minute he told Mu to depart, he would, and the Islammies would run right down to Israel’s border before anybody had a clue.
If elections are held in a few weeks instead of September, the only faction organized enough to field candidates is the Muslim Brotherhood. They won't have as big an advantage in September.
She is the most useless Secstate in my lifetime.
