EXODUS: Obama Admin to Evacuate U.S. Citizens From Egypt Starting Monday
Sunday, January 30, 2011 | Kristinn

Posted on 01/30/2011 11:41:02 AM PST by kristinn

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Ms. Jacobs (missed her first name), speaking on CNN said that the U.S. government is chartering planes to evacuate Americans from Egypt, with the first flights scheduled to depart on Monday.

Jacobs urged those with tickets for commercial flights out of Egypt to use those tickets. She also said the State Dept. was bringing in more consular officials to help Americans in Egypt.

Jacobs asked people to not go to the airport yet. She said details would be announced later today.

Jacobs did not say anything about whether the U.S. embassy and consular offices would also be evacuated.

JMHO but it seems to me Christians running for their lives in say, ummm Nigeria, Ethiopia, Iraq, (ad nauseam, not "Mericans though), and Jews running away(again) in Europe might need airlifting the a nice Judeo Christian Country like the US, oh wait scratch that,nevermind.Jews have already been airlifted to Israel; Obama is way behind again since day one, BUT WAIT!

Ronald Barak Obama Reagan and his crew have "BEEN ON IT LIKE CAVIAR ON A CRACKER SINCE DAY ONE" oil catastrophe. Obama the hero will be first man in, last man out, cue the marching bands this kingof queens ia acomin!

I heard Hillary on the news tonight say that the Administration has authorized voluntary evacuations from Egypt. Keep in mind, this is our Secretary of State. How can you authorize a voluntary action?

Exactly, if it’s that bad they should have been leaving for days now and we sure shouldn’t announce it.

Are these people competent at all? I mean except to make things worse. Sure wouldn’t want to be an American diplomat depending on The One to get me out of harms way.

My nephew arrived in Cairo a week or so ago to study at the American University. Sadly he was not able to even start classes prior to this happening. The school is delivering the kids to the airport tomorrow and the State Dept will tell them where they’re going. Pray for these kids please, they’re scared to death. Hopefully this wakes them all up though, minds full of mush even entertaining the thought of going to a Muslim country for schooling!

That the office of protocols did not screen and approve of what the Chinese pianist was playing last week shows that the people who run it are partisan lackeys who were awarded fat government jobs on their political connections rather than their smarts.

I think you may be giving the administration too much credit. It's very possible Obama's lackeys chose that song specifically.

Please, God, let the Republicans run someone who will win in 2012. Not another Dole. Not another McCain. Someone who will win and end this buffoon's tyranny.

Muslim Brotherhood were connected with the Nazi Party, and Progressive radicals from their inception.

Egypt was where many of the Nazi Party exiles went after WW2...and not to hide, but to work in the ministry.

Do research on Francois Genoud, and it all clicks.

Do you really think a new Egyptian regime will be friendly to America?? Come on.

Especially with a scheme between El-Baradei and the Muslim Brotherhood to form a "unity" government. Look for El-Baradei to turn up dead at some future time.

We've seen this unfold before... it's not going to end well.

Well, if the utilities fail and there is no A/C in the hotels, that could be bad.

Also with the National Museum closed, where would they go?

Most Egyptians probably want the tourists to stay, feel secure, and continue to spend money.
