State Department closes Cairo embassy, urges Americans to leave Egypt
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/15/13 | Susan Crabtree

The State Department issued a new travel warning Thursday afternoon calling on U.S. citizens to leave Egypt as soon as possible because of the military’s bloody crackdown in the country that has taken the lives of 638 people. Americans who choose to stay should avoid all demonstrations in Egypt, the State Department said, “as even peaceful ones can quickly become violent, and a foreigner could become a target of harassment or worse.” The U.S. embassy near Tahrir Square in Cairo was closed to the public Thursday after the Egyptian government Wednesday declared a nationwide state of emergency and imposed night-time curfews.

Ironically the only man in the world with the power to stop the violence is Mosri himself. He won’t of course. He already has become an icon and a martyr for the Islamists. If he is killed, remains imprisoned or stays defiant when he is finally seen and heard, the civil violence will worsen. Egypt is already poor. It will starve if the Arabs tire of the expensive subsidies. Soon hordes of impoverished but still fervent refugees will be coming to the US and the EU. Too bad our politicians didn’t understand the wisdom of George Washington’s farewell advice to avoid foreign entanglements. History will hod the US culpable for this coup and its aftermath since we are the paymasters of the Egyptian military. What a mess.

“”The State Department issued a new travel warning Thursday afternoon calling on U.S. citizens to leave Egypt as soon as possible “”

The State Department couldn’t see this coming for the past two years? Where’s that worthless female US ambassador to Egypt? AND that worthless former Secretary of State? AND the worthless current Secretary of State? GADS! Why are we the only ones who can see the absolutely stupid decisions that were made regarding Egypt? They’ll never have to admit to their mistakes as they are covered up for them. Disgusting lot of them!

This is what failure looks like, folks....Obama’s foreign policy, perhaps planned, is to weaken America...and he is doing it...Jimmy Carter’s third term.

Jimmy Carter was better....his ONE accomplishment, and it was significant, was to get the Jew in Israel and the Arab in Egypt to make peace.

The peace held until this administration, two weeks or so after the Clown SAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE with Hosni Mubarak, aligned itself with the Muslim Brotherhood...a wannabe dictatorship that abuses women, Christians and anyone who is to the left of the Taliban...

Yep, this is making America a laughing stock in the world.

When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age
Of a Aquarius, the age of Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the minds true liberation
Aquarius, Aquarius
