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
To protect us? Am going with that option for now.
I think there is no doubt that that was part of it.
One big item missing from all coverage: Status of the Suez Canal - Is it open? Is the army protecting it? Is the navy protecting shipping? Is shipping being offloaded still?
Literally zero on either CNN or Fox so far as I’ve seen.
Is somebody stomaching BBC in this thread?
ON CNN: Recapping coverage from their correspondent at the ministry of information. Excellent video and even reporting.
Bolton is someone I trust on this.
So is Al Qaeda.
3 private jets leave Cairo airport under heavy security; parliament speaker to make major announcement - NBC
Sounds like he has fled.
And when would have been the right time to publicly throw him under the bus?
You only have to look back one week to see what your logic would deliver wherever tried in the Middle-East and across Africa.
The most well funded and organized players would prevail.
You have heard of Lebanon. How did open Democracy work out up there?
Hezbollah is now forming a new government up there. Is that the remedy you see for Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, and Tunisia.
Do you really think that eventuality would work out best for the world, would lead to the most peaceful prospects for world peace and prosperity.
I don’t.
Hard to say. The Suez Canal Authority’s website is certainly still down (along with all of the other Internet in Egypt)

Wolf Blitzer on next. I won’t be sitting around for that.
Seems that Mubarak has left the building -
MSNBC reporting 10 limos loaded people onto private jets which had engines running. Planes left immediately.
Thanks. Doesn’t sound bad. Again, thanks for the report.
Yes, I’ve noticed the lack of coverage on the Suez Canal as well. I did see a tweet that said Navy Seals are there, but it’s just a tweet.
Shred in 2 directions and burn or so I have been told....
Don't you think it may be deliberete?
I'm sure all these Muslum leaders just love listenint to the smartest WOMAN in the world as our SOS
and how else would you explain these:
Baby Doc's Back - will Obama Back Aristide?
US revokes visas to pressure Haiti on election
Obama Admin Lobbying Honduras To Allow Zelaya Back In? Are You Kidding?
What could possibly be the motive behind this lunacy?
On the last day of December last year, Manuel “Mel” Zelaya, the deposed Honduran president and self-described victim of high-frequency radiation attacks by Israeli mercenaries, vowed to the press that he would return to Honduras. Few outside of Honduras have paid much attention to Zelaya’s MacArthur-esque prediction, but it has become apparent there is more behind his declaration than his usual hyperbole and bombastic absurdities.
Behind the scenes in the Obama administration there appears to be a concerted effort to pressure the democratically elected government of President Porfirio Lobo to dismiss charges of misappropriation of government funds and falsifying documents that are pending against Zelaya. This would open the door for his return to the country, and would be certain to undermine the delicate process of reestablishing democracy and order that is currently taking place in this poor and beleaguered nation.
When Zelaya was removed from office in July of 2009, the Obama administration at first joined with leftist dictators Fidel Castro of Cuba, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua in calling for his reinstatement. The Obama White House seemed oblivious to the Honduran constitution, as well as the threat Zelaya posed to the stability of the country and the region. When the courageous Honduran people held firm to their democratic constitution and refused to yield to the pressure exerted by the U.S., the Obama administration found no way of saving face other than reversing course and backing the democratic presidential elections called for by their constitution.

There's stupid, and then there's world-class stupid.

A Machiavellian view to be sure.
Knowing Navy SEALS are anywhere is a pretty good sign of mission failure. They aren’t equipped or staff to provide defense. Regular Egyptian Army is what’s required there.
Apart from the Birth Certificate matter - critical to him - having risen to the top and Egypt clouding his effort to introduce a “perfected forgery” which was switched on that extra Monday he stayed in Hawaii and could explain Abercrombie going to where the alleged document was being held - without having to explain an out of, or after hours, visit. He has a Jimmuh Carter, Shah, Khomeini replay on his hands.
Unlike Carter following SOVIET urgings to impose Khomeini and weaken the Shah (finally destroying the monarch and the country), Obama is guided and driven by his own Moslem religious beliefs and the desire to promote the spread of Islam AND fervent desire for the DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL and support of the Moslem Palestinians!
Tens of thousands of whom he is importing into America using taxpayer funds to bring, house and financially support them once they are here.
Plus his own Marxist/Socialist principles instilled into him from youth by his mentors and heroes, which also include deep rooted anti-American sentiment, are pushing him for the touch down move he started when he ordered our State Department, some 18-months ago to engage and deal directly with Egypt based, radical and terror founding Islamic movement of the Moslem Brotherhood.
While he FAILED to support the popular anti-Islamic regime student protests in Iran - June 2009 - because he wanted to “engage” with the Mullahs without pre-conditions, here his suppport of the demonstrations in Eqypt suit his personal philosophies - as outlined above - his personal aims for Islam and removal of Israel off the face of the earth (as per Islamic Iranian President Ahamdi-Nejad’s familiar, repeated slogans).
Note: Islamic movements are less interested - other than philosophically - on destroying the Little Satan, Israel than destroying the Big Satan - and Obama’s own greatest antipathy - America!
Just like idiot Jimmuh Carter’s blindness to the unforeseen consequences of Khomeini and his destruction of our ally in the late-Shah, which still plague us over three decades later in the form of widespread terrorism and regional instability, Obama has PURPOSEFULLY failed to see the lead up to this emergency.
Or alternatively he truly is the moron who interchanges/mixes up/transposes our activities in Iraq and Afghanistan in a formal, public discussion.
Or is he so ignorant - or happy to ignore -that Egyptian El Baradei, whose Iranian wife is an Ayatollah’s immediate family (sister or daughter) helped hide Iran’s nuclear activities from the IAEA - and whose main funding channel for opposing Mubarak comes directly from Iran!
Sudan’s Islamic take-overs, destabilization/ousting of America’s ally Tunisia, take-over of Lebanon by Iranian backed Hezbollah all pointing to upcoming politically insecurity in Jordan, Yemen, Algeria.
MOST IMPORTANTLY - impaired or blocked flow of oil via the Suez canal - will hurt America. Our energy security and prices of everything inside the USA can rise astronomically.
Unlike his attitude in Iran where he supported the Islamic Mullah regime, he now says “the people of Egypt will resolve the matter”. And “time for reform in Egypt has come” whereas after over 30-years the brutal, murderous regime in Islamic Iran was fine with him and the populace did not matter and there was no need for reform in the Ayatollah-land he favored.
Meanwhile, he has already threatened the current government of Eqypt with cutting off the annual $1.2 Billion military and foreign aid and in a Freudian slip states we have given over $20 Billion to Egypt since 1979 (Iran’s Carter inspired Revolution).
Between them, Carter and Obama will go down in history as the two greatest plagues/cancers that hit and eventually obliterated the world as we know it and turned it into a predominantly Sharia run, anti-American caliphate.
Which appears to suit Obama just fine!
And it’s time (wishful thinking) for him to resign the position he is too inexperienced and incapable of handling on an internal or global basis.
His being shown to be ineligible to be in the White House would be a good step in the right direction of survival of America and the world.
