For Egypt to survive, the Bedouin will have to root out the AQ and MB and just kill them on the spot in the Sinai and similar duty for the army in eastern desert, otherwise the canal and Oilfields are toast.

No doubt they had a small perp walk just with police escort to the tank....They took him immediately to their highest security area....which isn’t usually done until they have gone before they’re charged in Court...they bypassed that and straight to high security area...

The Bedouin’s have been working ‘with’ the Egyptian Army in the Sinia since Morsi was removed helping to root out MB and Aq presence....not strong enough to do the job themselves as the numbers coming in multiplied rapidly.

The terrorists and MBS had pretty much taken over the Bedouin Domain in the Sinai since Morsi took office and stopped covering the northern border. Plus he had opened the tunnels for the barbarians to come in..and they certainly did just that.

Once SISI began building up the forces on the border, after morsi was outed, the Bedouins soon became involved with the army. They want their territory back and run by them alone.

Additionally...the Suez has already had the Jihadists blowing up the gas lines....many caught now...But if the area cannot be handled by Egyptian and Israeli forces....then the International Security Counsel will send in UN forces as well....all part of the Camp David agreements to ensure the Suez remains open....

Even so last week they had the most ships, ever in it’s history, pass thru the Canal...evidencing, of course, there is concerns to get as much thru there if per chance the MBS do damage which would stop the flow.

Which Amanpour CNN pundit is that? That's not Christian Amanpour....,(who by the way I understand is Irianian and always lies and favors the MBS), maybe her daughter?

At any rate..what a witch she is!...once again seeing another CNN bombastic pundit slam their guests...he held his own.. but like her kind ....they are not interested in the facts or reasonable conversation about them, they only want to rile their guests and defend any accusations of them for biased reporting and omissions of the truth.

"The U.S. cannot PRETEND that the Egyptian conflict is a dispute capable of being resolved through political compromise within a framework of representative government. .....Such conditions do not exist.

The Muslim Brotherhood is 'NOT a normal political party as Westerners understand that term'..... It is an 'armed ideology—a militia'... that fires on its opponents and burns down churches.

Justice Robert Jackson once said of American communists... that they.... "assert as against our Government all of the constitutional rights and immunities of individuals, and at the same time exercise over their followers much of the authority which they deny to the Government."....... The same can be said of the Brotherhood..... It is, as Jackson also said of the Communists,... "a state within a state."......

....(Note: BTW...General SISI said the same...the Brotherhood does not recognize 'any' nation state borders....rather sees these as "barriers preventing" them from accomplishing their agenda of a ME Caliphate)

Bolton continues......."We need not dwell on the Brotherhood's Islamist ideology to grasp its authoritarian nature.... It desires confrontation with Egypt's military... because ..."it rejects the legitimacy of any government it does not control". (*..Important to grasp this in understanding the MB mindset)

Erdogan has been gun running for Morsi since he took office in Egypt....the guy is scared crap-less he's going to be found out...the curtain is being lifted and he knows it....additionally having his plate full keeping the protests down and off the streets who oppose the Muslim Brotherhood...he simply isn't going to last Mel...they want the Brotherhood out of their Governance.

The modified sound guns are guns which initially are like those used in movies but the ISlamists and terrorists modify them to be lethal weapons.

By the way, I totally disagree on Bolton’s opening remark in the WSJ article:

“Egypt has not yet succumbed to all-out civil war, as Syria has, but it’s getting close. “

THERE WILL NOT BE A CIVIL WAR IN EGYPT,

I understand a civil war is a village fighting a village, a neighborhood fighting another, factions of police and military units fighting amongst themselves, food war, and of course religous strife.

I see that life is stabilizing in Egypt, terrorists in the Sinai are cut off with no supplies from mama Gaza an will be soundly defeated very soon.

One more thing to show you the total cowardice and surrender of the MB leaders! It’s a fact! I read what Safwat Higazy said when he was captured and what he said stunned me completely. I thought I was reading “The Onion” in Arabic, I tried reading back and forth just to make sure that my leg is being pulled!

It’s not worth translating this long article because it simply will not be believed!

I’ll give you an example of what he said: I never agreed with the MB and never been part of them. He said he wanted to leave Egypt to “find himself!” Please don’t announce my arrest, I have followers, don’t say anything until we talk, I can do a lot for Egypt.

http://almogaz.com/news/politics/2013/08/21/1061060

With the leaderless MB or if they have leaders like this, how could they ever get immersed in a civil war, given their minute numbers, that would kill them in a couple of days all over Egypt?

“Chemical Warfare up close”

I'm posting the following videos from Syria so that those who have interest can see how chemical agents behave on the human body and draw their own conclusions of if or not this was a chemical attack.....for it is one thing to say it's possible these were used in Syria...another to ‘see the evidence’...and there is no blood on these bodies ,which they show after death.

The first video a Medical Practitioner is trying to describe what happened as people were brought to his hospital clinic...this while hearing gunfire and “war” surrounding as a journalist recorded him....... At one point he breaks up a bit as he lost staff he knew in this happening..but quickly regains his composure and continues to explain how the people reacted ,being under a chemical attack..and what was done wrong to avoid the chemicals.

The next videos show a man under the influence of the chemicals....and another two children Dr.s were attempting to save. Their lips are blue...and again no signs of blood.

Then there are videos of bodies which none show any blood...or wounds to have caused these many deaths..and it was all ages...

I admit while viewing these eventual tears of my own were shed..for I could not help but think this could happen anywhere with these weapons in terrorists hands....which I believe are responsible for this happening in Syria....just as Egypt is fighting them now....and we ma very well be in the future.

I leave it to some FR MEDICAL PEOPLE here on on FR to draw their conclusions of what these videos reveal...but even with my limited knowledge I do not need a team of investigators, which are now in Syria to tell me this was indeed chemical warfare. But they will be able to say what chemicals.

I agree. Erdogan won’t last long. The stifling MB rule in many places is collapsing in many places such as Tunisia, Libya and Gaza.

The MB and al Qaeda in Syria are trying to drag the West to save them from utter defeat at the hands of the Syrian military.

They pulled a Rabaa on the naive and drooling West; it’s WMDs instead of shooting their own people in the back as they did in Rabaa!

It’s so obvious that it’s sickening. We see it a mile away but our governments REFUSE TO SEE!

I Agree... however Bolton, I think, was speaking at the time things were truly bad on the streets etc... and gave the appearance of beginnings of what could have come to civil war....even we were concerned Mel....though we surely believed SISI could handle...we fast saw the international community stalled it.. and while doing so Rabba then was erected....IMO the International Community Leaders, by their interference,visitations etc. ...also shares a blame for the deaths prior, during, and after Rabba.

What we see SISI and the administration doing now could have well been done before Rabba...nipped it in the bud..and had dealt with the MBS altogether....but “politics” did get in the way....and as Bolton says..the West’s not understanding, or perhaps understanding but avoiding speaking so, that they are limited at their understanding of how things work in the MB mind and in their agenda.....unless of course they are part of it..which also has to be said.

What the creep said just ‘evidences’ his fear of death and likely torture from those who now have him where they want him. Sounds like he was fast talking and building his story as he went along....yet more evidence of fear.

Quite something of a show considering all the speeches, targeted ones at that, he gave in Rabba and Nadah...not to mention all the other videos on him inciting his followers to die for Islam...to die for Morsi etc. etc. And this he raged on and on about.

I think he'll next declare insanity.....but he'll definitely blame any other than himself.

He's just following the standard conduct/behavior we've seen in his followers and other leaders....once caught..the show still must go on.

He and the other MB leaders failed terribly to see that all that was occurring in Raba was simply revealing the tactics they use to an uniformed world...further their own vile hatred and lies were not working...Internet and fast communiques have crippled their tactics....and hopefully SISI and the administration will now see to it that they never rise again in Egypt! P.S.... Don't forget tomorrows Anti-Muslim Brotherhood march in Washington....and... I understand CAIR might be organizing a counter march????? Should be interesting...

More....I picked this up from an interview with a Physician treating the patients...

.....”The injuries correspond with Sarin gas,” ....A DR. who was treating the people said in an interview .... “Difficulty breathing,... heavy breathing...., inability to breathe to the point of suffocation.... Slowing of the heart reaching cardiac arrest,.... constricted pupils,... perspiration,... convulsions.... and loss of consciousness to the point of death.”

Sorry, I haven’t been able to keep up with the details, but I’ve been trying to get others to come look at the photos and articles you are posting here. The opinions they are getting from the MSM don’t seem quite right.
