El-Baradi is not interested in the leadership position...he’s simply the front man right now for the powers that be, which are driving these protests throughout the ME.

You can bet Obama’s getting his night in shinning white armor suit cleaned and pressed. What an ....well you know.

Dr. Yasser Najib Abdel Mabboud, has accused Dr. Mohamed El Baradei, former Director General of International Atomic Energy Agency and a candidate in the Egyptian presidential elections, of covertly receiving over $7 million from Iran’s regime as support for ‘political reform in Egypt’.

China sending a fleet down the Suez could be a possibility.

They might just jump into this, I cannot explain why but I have a feeling they will take advantage of it.

Interesting article... US Activist says we knew this was coming.

The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

The secret document in full (in the article)

He has already been arrested by Egyptian security in connection with the demonstrations and his identity is being protected by The Daily Telegraph.

The crisis in Egypt follows the toppling of Tunisian president Zine al-Abedine Ben Ali, who fled the country after widespread protests forced him from office

The Middle East Arab Countries are not democracies. They're either Islamic regimes like Iran or Kingdoms like Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and Egypt is a Dictatorship like the former Iran.

Look at Iraq and the treasured blood we lost freeing it and the fledging democracy that may or may not hold. Are you willing to take those same measures in Egypt were the Islamic terrorists to topple Mubarak? I'm not.

Looking back, would you prefer the Iran of today, or the Iran under the Shah?

I think Mubarak has to retain power for as long as he can, or until another pro-Western, replacement can be found.

Elections would be a farce. Iran is behind this upheaval. The Moslem Brotherhood is an Islamic terrorist group.

Obama’s Dhimmi Carter Moment

“I have worked for a year to awaken the conscience of the Egyptian people...” ElBaradei, Iran’s bomb man
The more the layers are peeled back, the more we see the hand of Iran behind what is unfolding in the Middle East.”

Notation in this article points to Suez fighting, as reported on MSNBC.

Let’s see Hilary recently described Egypt as stable, the Egyptian military chiefs were here in the US as the unrest developed, the protests broke out around Egypt simultaneously, 5 ME countries experiencing unrest in short time....hmm, coincidence?

When its too expensive to buy the gas for Americans to buy the Chines crap then its obviously a problem for China, America is the biggest consumer of Chines made products.

If America goes on a budgetary lean consumer diet China will wither and die.
