From FOX:
DEVELOPING: Loud explosions and gunfire were heard in the Egyptian capital of Cairo Friday, as protesters demanding the removal of President Hosni Mubarak defied a curfew, Al Jazeera reported. Egyptian television reports the ruling party headquarters in Cairo are on fire.
From TWITTER:
WashingtonPost: Clinton: We urge #Egypt authorities to allow peaceful protest, reverse unprecedented steps it has taken to cut off communications less than 20 seconds ago
Just remember what happened in Iran. Do not for one minute make the mistake of thinking that the power behind these people wants democracy. That was the claim in Iran, too, and that didn’t work out well—for anyone.
I’m always quick to point out that the Civil War was NOT popular and fought by only 30% of the population at the time.
And then there’s this:
By Lin Noueihed Lin Noueihed – 22 mins ago
TUNIS (Reuters) – Islamists marched through central Tunis on Friday, demanding religious freedom, while police fired teargas at anti-government protesters who have camped out around the prime minister’s office.
The march by about 200 people was the first significant Islamist protest since the fall of president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, who ran a strictly secular state in which Islamists were often jailed or forced into exile.
Some carried placards reading: “We want freedom for the hijab, the niqab and the beard.”
Our Islamic Marxist in Chief has sat on his hands while Egypt, the Sudan and Tunisia fall apart to fundamentalists within a week
.
From Aljazeera site:
“Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, Al Jazeera is no longer available via the broadband services Jalipo and VDC.”
al Jazeera report:
Military moving into Suez and Alexandria
Army being greeted with cheers and thumbs-up jestures.
Mubarak isn’t a saint thats for sure.
From what I heard on Fox this morning the Muslim Brotherhood is behind these protests and the effort to overthrown Mubarak. They are muslim fundamentalists who have been using imams and the mosques to brainwash the younger population. Very similar to the method used in Iran to overthrow the Shah.
Mubarak is about to run like an Egyptian.
I think he should fly over right now and walk the streets calming the people.
I’ll pay for the fuel.
Good thinking, thanks SE Mom!
the muslim brotherhood is involved with these riots and if they take over then it is not good for Israel or us but I see the bozo the clown admin is quick to tell the Govt to stop and yet when those in Iran were up in arms there was crickets.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Seems bozo the clown has no problem with the muslim brotherhood doing riots but does have a problem with those in Iran wanting to get rid of an oppressive muslims Govt
and yet again our corrupt biased propaganda media covers for their messiah again
” defined by international problems stemming from his weak foreign policy... “
OT - but, lest we succumb to tunnel-vision, we need to keep one eye on the Kims and NK - who just might see an opportunity for mischief during a growing Mideast Crisis....
And, then there’s always Nuclear-armed Pakistan, whose Government has gotten progressively more unstable, of late....
Could be a “Perfect Storm” a-brewin’.....
On Drudge as well:
Explosions and gunfire heard

Unfortunately people like Mubarak and Ben Ali have made this situation, they have been ripping the countries off for years while people live in poverty and then of course the people turn to the one they have left religion who uses them and then it all eventually boils over.
When you support dictatorial regimes sooner or later the grip fails and the people revolt, it aint pretty and we’ve seen it all before and who do we have....Obama, the biggest wimp around.
This could set back the middle east decades.
I disagree with Biden, this IS a BIG F~@&!NG Deal.
