After propping up a dictator against the will of the people in Egypt, I’d say we’re already reaping what we’ve sown.
When do you think he will be on 60 minutes? That would be too cool.
Day of rage in Bahrain tomorrow.
Yippie skippie, freedom to build the caliphate here we come.
((shudder))
Did anyone think they would live to see the day that overseas press is our credible news? In case anyone missed Obama’s savior sickening speech; the transcript and Baghdad Bob Gibb’s LAST press briefing at the link below.

“Ben-Eliezer said. “’They may be talking about democracy but they don’t know what they’re talking about and the result will be extremism and radical Islam,’” he quoted Mubarak as saying. “
Well yes. It’s what the Kenyan wants radical Islam or he is clueless.
I think everyone in the ME: Arabs and Jews think Barack Hussein Obama is a dolt.
Well, I take that back: Hamas thinks he is awesome.
This will be a very deep change in the ME. On Monday we will see a big demonstration in Tehran and the wind of change will sweep away the dictatorships, and hopefully the middle class will take power.
...and “we” (our current administration) probably deserved them all.
All true. Free elections in the Islamic world are viewed by most American politicians as major successes in and of themselves. But as we've seen, those free elections usually bring disasters. The strongman dictatorships aren't the problem; the PEOPLE (and their violent cult) are the problem. Hundreds of millions of crazed Mohammedans are the problem.
OBAMA is setting up a MUSLIM WORLD and they WON”T BE STOPPED AT VIENNA THIS TIME BECAUSE THEY WILL DESTROY THE VATICAN ALSO!
Sadly, I think you are correct. I simply don't feel that Mubarak was ever a threat to the US, Israel or any of our other allies. Unfortunately there is no upside to our efforts to overthrow him. If it works out for Egypt, they will never give the US credit for it, but if it goes badly in Egypt then our meddling will be used by Muslim extremists to stir up the next revolution. There are other dictators in the region worth overthrowing...but not Mubarak.
Egypt jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Chilling.
Bump

We shall reap what others have sown for if you and I had anything to say about the matter.
We would not stand back and wait to see what will happens but rather insist upon a guided path to Democracy.
Not a willy nilly (hope this works out) attitude that the Liberals always seem to think works - but never does.
Liberals never think that evil wins out over good intent - every time.
Unless your population understands the true difference between freedom and just turning over your future to others that might have other ideas on the subject.
Arabs are historically used to being told to do things and are not used to taking responsibility for anything. It is always their leaders who take responsibility and the citizens ultimately must do what they are told.
You know what they say:
“Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don’t ...”
Sure, Mubarak might have been a slimeball dictator, but he was the linchpin in keeping a lid on the Middle East. If the MB comes to power in Egypt, other nations [Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc.] may also go - then theres REALLY gonna be a problem ...
Same thing happens in Egypt but the MUSLIM roles reversed and Obama says "Change and Transition must be swift and orderly."
He is a dyed in the wool MUSLIM Kenyan, nothing more.
Hosni Mubarak had harsh words for the United States and what he described as its misguided quest for democracy in the Middle East
