Heavy gunfire resounded in the area around Cairo's Tahrir Square early Thursday as the battle between allies and foes of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak entered a second day.

It’s possible that the camel-mounted troops came from Egypt’s border guards, which use camels in the Sinai, along the border with Libya, etc.

President BARACK OBAMA: “The passion and the dignity that has been demonstrated by the people of Egypt has been an inspiration to people around the world”.

U.S. tells citizens who want to leave Egypt, ‘report to airport immediately’

Don’t look for Zippy to lift a finger. He’s not going to help the West. He’s going to help the muslims.

Thank you libtards for this catastrophe!

[Heavy Fuel]

won’t be long before the tea party is blamed for all this.

[Freddd]

Well yeah, except many have been there for 3 days waiting to get out!

[Faith65]

o is getting exactly what he wants...CHAOS!

and are assessing the need to continue flights after that, in view of the availability of commercial flights and decreased demand for U.S. government evacuation flights. Additional U.S. government flights after Thursday are unlikely.

This sounds more like another failed government program to me. Apparently, most folk are taking COMMERCIAL flights out of Egypt, rather than screw around with a government thing... Get a grip, people...

“mubarak is fighting back. Friday will be a free for all.”

When the mosques let out on Friday, the Brotherhood will be out for blood. It’s Iran 1979 all over again, with Hamas replacing the Soviets

[vetvetdoug]

I have a good friend right outside of Cairo right now trying to get out. He has been keeping in touch via Facebook. He has a flight out Friday but this message is really scary.

Oh who cares about any of this really, Obama is watching the Superbowl with JLo.

[Candor7]

So Obama has armed the Obot revolutionaries in Cairo?

NOw the Obots will have their revolutionaries in Cairo take to the streets to cut down innocents and be owed down by the Egyptian Army?This is Odinga/Obama all over again, just like Nairobi in November 2007. Liberal fascism is being employed in Cairo folks, and Obama is its name.

All US citizens must leave so that there are no witnesses except the propaganda mongers of the MSM?

I am rooting for Mubarak, even if he has to slaughter the Cairo Obots who are making this false democracy stir, so Israel can be attacked from each point of the compass?

I hope Mubarak takes down the entire Obot leadership in Cairo, sooner the better.

Obama is about to experience the Bay of Pigs x 10. And it will be Obama’s fault. Obama will wear it. George Bush and Sarah Palin have nothing to do with it, its ALL Obama’s.

[Freddd]

Kinda weird timing being most are asleep ....in Egypt.

[Porterville]

We wait ‘til the very last minute to pull out... tonight it gets very hot.

Obama is watching the Superbowl with JLo.

Hmm...wonder if Obama will back out of his interview with O'Reilly (BO vs. BO) for fear of showing his cluelessness on this. Don't know why, because O'Reilly usually tosses him softballs. But Zero has shown he can't even hit those without a teleprompter (remember Velma Hart).

In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. . . . And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not wait. . . .

Jlo?...seriously???....SWeeeet!

Isn’t she married to Achmed, the dead terrorist?

[unkus]

mubarak is fighting back. Friday will be a free for all.

praying for your friend, FRiend...

They’re reveling in this. Thye love it, this is for them like being hippies in the sixties and enjoying the resulting societal chaos. This is Obama’s ‘sixties moment.’

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

So, Mr. Zero, tell us all how you’ve improved US relations around the world after Bush so severely damaged them. Talk to me, Mr. Post-Racial. The world is sure respecting us now!
