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
I actually have some sympathy for the guy, he has to live with all of what he has said for the obama regime.
I wonder what country he has plans to move to, I doubt he will find any quiet peaceful latitudes in America after he leaves.
yeah he had the look of why the hell didnt i quit 2 months ago after the elections.
GIBBS BRIEFS — WATCH LIVE: Asked about the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says that “any group” should practice “nonviolence.”
Returning to the wishes of the White House, Gibbs says, “I do believe orderly transition means change.” Pressed on whether that means Hosni Mubarak should leave office, Gibbs reverts back to his evasion: “That is not for — that is not for our country or our government to determine.” (2:12 p.m.)

[Update 8:38 p.m. Cairo, 1:38 p.m. ET] A team of heavily armed Marine Corps security personnel have been sent to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to provide additional security for the facility, defense officials tell CNN. The small team of Marines, about a dozen according to one of the officials, are part of a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST). The Marines are inside the embassy perimeter. Egyptian military and security forces continue to provide security outside the embassy, the officials said.

I remember paying around a buck at ARCO where I lived in early 1990 when I first started to drive. Also leaded gas growing up. I saw Sunday afternoon $3.35 for regular unleaded at that same gas station 21 years later.
Interesting comment. America and America's people are still the most tolerant society of most left. There are some others, yes, though I prefer here to anywhere there, except for one or two exceptions. I love being in America. Cannot say I love being anywhere else on the planet. Though not well traveled, those I speak with do have interesting comments concerning the world in which all of us live. What country would you live in if not here?
God bless our Marines. Prayers up for their safety.
Don't worry Gibbs. We know obama has no principles and will not take a stand on anything..... Present!
Good News, even if the bad news made this necessary. Serious events necessitate serious responses. ‘bout time.

That’s a cheap shot - The President has taken stands before - for instance, when it came to killing late term abortion babies “mistakenly” born, he not only voted for it, he got up and defended his psychotic position in the state senate floor.
BUMP.
If I had to leave America I would go to Canada, mostly because I already live in Alaska, Canada does have a more restrictive economy but its mostly white, its mostly a frontier and will probably never see Islamic domination or infiltration such as America is being targeted.
obama is destroying America, he has basically tattooed an indelible target on every American on Earth for any society to target. He has worked purposely to make American look weak and vulnerable, and most cultures go into a blod frenzy with anticipation of killing Americans.
But it would probably never happen no matter how bad it gets here in America because the people do have the power to reclaim the Republic from domestic enemies, those that do run off wouldn’t have made good fighters anyway. let them run off to socialized healthcare and nanny societies.
Thank you

The Egyptian army recognizes mass protests consuming the country as the people's legitimate right to "freedom of expression" and will not use force against the demonstrators, an army spokesman said in a statement read on Egyptian state television Monday night local time in Egypt.
It was the first concrete assurance given by the military that soldiers wouldn't shoot on those protesting peacefully in demand of President Hosni Mubarak's ouster.
"The presence of the army in the streets is for your sake and to ensure your safety and well-being," the statement said. "The armed forces will not resort to use of force against our great people."
” It was the first concrete assurance given by the military that soldiers wouldn’t shoot on those protesting peacefully in demand of President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster. “
Army throwing Mubarak under the bus??
and/or
How high up did this statement originate - might it be a sign of a rift betwixt the Senior Generals and the lower-ranking Generals/Colonels??
Too many questions....
If the Muslim Brotherhood prevails though, look for big trouble later. <<<<<
Well, I'm unsure that much of the Muslim Brotherhood is currently actually actively trying to topple Mubarak's regime. Seems like it's hungry unemployed civilians of all political persuasions.

Maybe Egypt’s uprisings are being used as cover to overtake Egypt’s planned nuclear energy reactor in order to counter the Iranian ones that have been taken out by Stuxnet.
