Not to be out down by Cooper...ABC’s Amanpour has also been ‘encircled and yelled at.’

he took a break from reporting and lived in Vietnam for a year, during which time he studied the Vietnamese language at the University of Hanoi.

hmm, wouldnt surprise me if he met some individuals there and his outlook changed.....sounds familiar, doesnt it.
An intriguing allusion to the original “Let a thousand flowers bloom” meme. Bush #1 did not know or did not care when he used the expression in a different context, but it started IIRC about a feigned openness in China which was actually used to “out” latent protesters who were then “offed.” Creepy and sinister. Could such a perverse harvest be taking place in Egypt? Dunno.
If Los Angeles and San Francisco could secede together from California, it would be much as if Chicago declared independence from Illinois.
I thought I heard that AC is gay. I wonder if his new MB friends know this little factoid? hmmmmm? Could get interesting if AC is and MB finds out.
I used to joke with my fellow students who said they were “Persian” that I was “Macedonian”; but then Macedon became a nation again! Now I joke that I am a “Thracian”.
It is a silly joke, I know. The Persian people are the last ones who should catch any flak for the actions of the Iranian mullahs - and thus the avoidance of saying they are “Iranian”.
Is there a difference in meaning in the original language? Would saying “Persian” mean that you are of that race of people while “Iranian” means you are part of (or a supporter of) that nation/political system?
In English it sort of makes sense, but in another language the words might not even be different. Are they?

You have to love the egotistical and biased “journalists” from American networks making themselves the story.

That’s exactly what that photo looks like. The Giza camels.
Egypt is horrific yet amazing at the same time. If the fundamentalists take over, all the antiquities will be lost unless someone gets in there to remove them.
It would be a terrible situation.
There were times in history when invaders using camels freightened cavalry horses. Big animals.

Obama and Egypt: has he handled it well?
you can vote.
My point was his comment about red state blue state, was absolute bull sh*t, given the fact more have died fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan who were from California, than ANY state.
Some people here post without any thought whatsoever.
Moose will publicly put up with almost anything they seem to be religiously opposed to for a while, if it gains them some new foothold. Then the useful idiots will be smashed, no longer useful.
Obama is a Neo Liberal and is under the belief that the political winds (according to the media) are blowing in favor of the “protesters”. This is how Obama operates. He sees this thing as a Liberal Socialist Democracy forming.
He also understands that they will later vote in Islamo Marxism by default. And he fully wants this to happen.
That’s the pattern everywhere else there is a hubbub — be it Arizona or Washington or whatever. So why not Egypt. These are not story tellers, they are story creators.
Per Pam Geller's reporting at Atlas Shrugs 4 Israeli journalists arrested in Cairo, Bloody Chaos as Mubarak Backers and Opponents Clash
1) 306 dead as of last night - deaths from today's violence are not in that number
2) Obama has sided strongly with the protesters in his speech last night
3) George Bush Sr. has spent a long time on the phone with Mubarak within the last 24 hours
4) Long lines at banks
5) Situation is tense and volatile
6) It is 7 PM in the evening
7) No one knows what the night will bring
