If Mubarak were 42 they may have a point. However, he is 82 and there is only so much longer we can ride an old horse.
However, the US should have long ago found a new horse to ride in Egypt instead of ignoring the face that Mubarak was aging.

I tend to believe that der Fuehrer has an indirect involvement in what is happening. If the Israelis knew what they were getting then why is there any shock? Their hard choices are going to involve action, action taken with extreme prejudice and they can count on the administration opposing them at every turn, even to the point of our intelligence on Israeli actions being turned over to the terrorists.

I'm shocked that "Israel" is shocked.

(Reification (also known as hypostatisation, concretism, or the fallacy of misplaced concreteness) is a fallacy of ambiguity, when an abstraction (abstract belief or hypothetical construct) is treated as if it were a concrete, real event, or physical entity)

People People! This is faux anger. The Israelis knew full well what is going down. I have a sneaking suspicion that this Egyptian “overthrow” is really geared at Iran. It is to get the Iran masses all primed for an overthrow there.

“Smug” really defines Hillary Clinton in all this.

The smartest women in the world didn't have a clue or even mention Egypt until we were 3 days into the crisis. The carpetbagger rode her husband's coat tails to the senate seat. She had no business running for president and certainly isn't qualified to be secretary of state. She makes Madeline Albright look like a genius

Lemme get this straight: a democracy is calling for the US to support a dictator instead of supporting the democratic wishes of 80 million, which admittedly may bring about something worse? All because he’s “our bastard”?!? I know Israel hasn’t lost their damn minds, so I’ll just say wow, way to dishonor your democracy Israel.

What else did they expect from Obama.

The man is STUPID, I don’t care how well he speaks, the man is not intellectually up to the task.

Not to mention he has no crediblity with world leaders, they know he isn’t a Natural Born Citizen. They know everything he has done stands to get undone when that usurpation is realized by America’s sleeping masses.

Demographics, Democracy and Disparity tough obstacles to support dictator. You have to know when to hold and when to fold.

Mubarak’s 80 years old and on his way out. Supporting him means supporting someone with next to no popular support among the populace and the weakening support among the military. You either back the walking dead or you try and salvage something out of it by greasing his way out the door.

The majority of “the jews” voted democrat and voted for Obummer. How could they do that to Israel?

Bama-boy has been dumping on the Israei’s from day one and they are surprised that he isn’t backing Mubarak.

Guy’s Guy’s -——Obama is a Muslim.

It's certainly not a matter of "smart" but instead that voters, including pro-Israel voters, were deceiving themselves about Obama. Obviously they ran into a conflict over their politics, but the question is 'why were they so willing to lie to themselves and believe those lies as a group...and then to continue doing so.'

IMO it has to do with the Kool-Ade (or Obama's hypnotic combined use of NLP and massive campaign of manipulative iconography).

Make no mistake about it, the only thing that can explain why millions of people voted against their better judgment and continue to support that position is something like hypnosis or mind control. If anyone has a better suggestion as to the missing piece of the behavioral puzzle, I would love to hear it.
