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.

We can line up a few C-5's and C-117's to haul them out. It would make a better statement to see those behemoths coming over, and hear them roar as they climb out!

Use some fighter escorts to scare a few towel heads and shake the ground! Of course, that is if Zero isn't commandeering them for his golf trips and vacations. Somebody has to haul the golfcart!

I had to take a break from the tension and find something to laugh about. Looks like this is it.

Well, I guess this is nice. They're not targeting Americans, so BHO is ahead of some curve.

In a discussion with a friend days ago, the disposition of our (honest Barry, it's OURS) fleet came up, and I'm glad to see something is happening. Sounds like, best case, maybe Americans won't have to go through those scanners.

Honestly, get out of town, this isn't what citizens need. They need a plane or a camel or whatever. Perhaps Marines, and a means of transportation. Like Israel did.

Stephen Decatur, William Eaton, where are you now.

An aside...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2665809/posts

Other ramblings...

With Ayers and O’s buddy Ali (from Electronic Intifada), going over there last week and last year...

Speaking of which, where has our Iranian-raised Val Jarrett been lately?

Who was the MBrotherhood thug the WH tried to get set free last week, as well as this ‘activist’ who was let in (in ‘08), to advocate for the cause?

Exodus? Interesting choice of terms. Are we expecting them to wander for 40 years in the desert before arriving in Israel?

Are you referring to:

The Barack Obama administration has decided to lift a ban preventing Muslim Scholar Professor Tariq Ramadan from entering the United States. Ramadan, an Egyptian currently living in Switzerland, is a leading member of Europe’s Muslim Brotherhood branch and the grandson of the movement’s founder Hassan al-Banna.

U.S. President Barack Obama voiced support for an "orderly transition" in Egypt that is responsive to the aspirations of Egyptians

The SOB wouldn't do that for the democracy movement in Iran

Inept does not even begin to describe his administration. They are bumbling fools who make one stupid mistake after another and never learn anything. 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. The Obama adminsiration is the laughing stock of the rest of the world as they look like the clueless rubes they are.

Let’s not forget that it was actually Ross Perot that funded the rescue mission that actually freed them.

Yeah, right. The phrase "the quick and the dead" comes to mind. Meanwhile, our SecState is futzing around in Haiti.

“including the right to peaceful assembly, association, and speech; and supporting an orderly transition to a government that is responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people,” the White House said.”

Yeah, like the Tea Party Groups were given that same careful statement...LOL...
