Obama only deplores govt violence. "Peaceful DEMONstrators" may attack at will: W.H. 'deplores' new Egypt violence

"The United States deplores and condemns the violence that is taking place in Egypt, and we are deeply concerned about attacks on the media and peaceful demonstrators. We repeat our strong call for restraint." http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm/0211/blood_in_cairo_dc6af544-536d-42c4-9666-1cf377bdb98d.html

Well, I suppose I meant “low profile” in that he hasn’t said
much to US about this situation like you would expect. We
all KNOW what side he comes down on...and the Muslim Brotherhood
is “at the forefront of the movement”. It won’t be a democracy!

Imagine having a president who sides with terrorists. Well...
we do......

What could a collapse of Egypt into raw Islamism buy for Soros. Except a thrill of Jewish self-hatred, bupkis.

Incredibly lame, one-sided White House statement: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/02/02/statement-white-house-press-secretary-robert-gibbs-violence-egypt They are implying support for one side of the violence in Egypt.

An American Indian, a Muslim, and cowboy are standing on a street corner discussing the state of the world.

The Indian sighs ruefully and says, “We used to be many, now we are few.”

The Muslim smiles mockingly and says, “We used to be few, soon we will be many.”

The cowboy spits, grins widely, and says, “Yeah, but we ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims yet.”

In a lame way, I suppose he could try to pin blame for the “goons” and the collateral damage they do in reasserting order in Egypt, on the GOP. But how does he expect to cover up for the failure to take charge of the situation personally, as he seemed so eager to do? Shouldn’t he have farmed it out to other Democrats, such as Jimmuh and Clintoon, will be the obvious question.

[Egypt] was moving towards a full capitalist system but no explained why that was needed or why it was ultimately beneficial. While such restructuring is naturally painful for a population that was dependent on the government for all its needs, the people were fed the same socialist rhetoric nonetheless. It mattered very little that the country was improving economically, people did not see that. It is not that the effects were not trickling down, they were. It is that the people were used to the nanny state for so many years that they could not understand why the government was no longer providing them with those services.

Thanks for the link. This part struck me particularly.

I may just have to dust off all of those end-times books I bought back in the 1970’s.

Good idea. :)

Logically, the MB thus belongs on the DHS terrorist list then. They’re ‘conservative.’

From Reuters coverageUnrest in Egypt

"Walking across Tahrir Square on Wednesday, it was hard to miss a huge slogan daubed in paint on the road: Game Over."

Doesn't sound like a slogan I'd expect to be painted on the streets in Egypt. (it was probably in English, as well.)

Anything that reduces U. S. influence on global dynamics, is in Soros best interest. He and his minions want the U. S. to be a socialist backwater nation with no real influence on global matters.

If you look at the people who are connected to him, and what they have been up to, supporting, it’s very hard to come to a different conclusion that what I have stated here.

If the U. S. loses any foothold in the Middle East region, it will be severely impacted.

Only Soros can explain why he hates the Western World as we know it, but I don’t see how we can take any other conclusion away after seeing what he and his many foundations and fellow travelers have been up to.
