Oddly enough- this goes back to Bush...these cables start in December 2008, so the whole Obama/muslim theory doesn’t stand up.
It’s clear there has been a pro-democray momvement in Egypt for some time- independent of islamic extremists. But the question we won’t know the answer to for awhile is- will the islamists co-opt the movement completely and install sharia etc...or will they be a tolerated but not ruling voice...
I saw that it was “three years,” dating it to Bush. Doesn’t make sense to me. Something is missing.
Count on an attempt to co-opt. Too much unrest in too many countries. I’ve never worn a tin foil hat, but I may need one after this.
The Saudi king has come out in support of Mubarak. How long until Saudi Arabia gets its own rash of rioting?
What started with one intention under Bush may have continued with another purpose under Obama.
