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.

I wonder how many crates of them were sent to the Shah? Then there were those from Korea that Soetoro banned from being brought back to the US.

Obama spoke by phone on Saturday with Saudi King Abdullah, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and on Sunday to British Prime Minister David Cameron.

I wonder how many of them called him what he is.

It’s a horrible nightmare. The amazing thing is that basically ALL those in positions of power and responsibility who could do something seem to be bought and sold, blackmailed, or pure cowards.

They’re all like bunny rabbits mesmerized by a snake.

0h0m0 is broken and soon the glue won’t work.

He is so pale, and he looks weak, like he should be bedridden.

Bedridden, heavily sedated, and strapped down.

In a federal prison hospital.

At first they will be...you know they are going to want 0bama to send them big buck$ to stabilize them. They need America to get a fresh start...after all, who else in the world would be stupid enough to give them money?

This worries me.

There was a woman on CNN just before the State Dept. spokeswoman. She is trapped on a cruise ship docked at Luxor. Said she was given a number to call. The message said to get info from the Internet, which as you note is down. She said the message also said if this was an emergency press (whatever) and then she was put on interminable hold.

The woman, Laura Murphy Lee, also said she spoke with the U.S. ambassador to Egypt. She said the ambassador was clueless as to how dangerous it is on the streets. She also said the ambassador told her she should be happy that she was safe on a ship.

I listened to that interview, too. Amazing.

These Americans are afraid of becoming hostages, a real possibility.

Hilary's State Department is looking as inept as Obama.

Maybe he was hoping for a hostage crisis.

Meanwhile, have the operators taken out Zawahiri yet, it would have been a perfect time to catch him on comm.

so why did bozo the clown go there in the first place, was there something going on behind the scenes?

Not that I would think for one minute that our biased corrupt so called media would actually do their job and investigate their messiah., nope can’t have that or tell the public the truth about him for once.

Anyway like you said send him over there again to make a speech and with a bit of luck he’;ll stay there seeing as he has more in common with the muslim brotherhood than the west or America.

“Maybe he was hoping for a hostage crisis.”

Well he certainly has given the message(loud and clear now) that this is the last day for his Islamist buds to easily take American hostages before he is forced to send in the planes....lol.

why was he over there for that speech when he first got elected, he didn’t happen to meet with reps from the muslim brotherhood did he?

Also Ayers etc are involved and we now have him saying the same words as the muslim brotherhood.

Not forgetting of course how he told the Govt there to tone it down but never said tone it down to the Iranian Govt.

If anyone still thinks that he is not in tune with these mad muslims and groups then they need to get their head of of where the sun does not shine and yes that goes for you American Jews for the most part
