The American government secretly backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising who have been planning “regime change” for the past three years, The Daily Telegraph has learned. The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police. On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

So we back the overthrow of a sort of ally for supposed democracy. Then we watch as the mooslim brotherhood commandeers the movement. We really suck at this foreign policy stuff.

And as much as Condolezza Rice was likable in some ways and had a lot of good values, she also frequently proved herself to have dangerous naivete and complete lack of awareness of Arab-Islamic nations function. If Rice was behind the Egyptian uprisings, as some of these sources have said, that could be almost s much bad news as if Obama had started it all.

I had a feeling.

I am of the opinion this is something we don’t need right now and there are now 4 other countries in the same position.

There are reasons that George W (the first one) warned us against foreign entanglements.

But then again, those evil white men from much different times have no actual influence on our enlightened times anymore, right?

The problem with a bumper sticker like that is if somebody Sadats Mubarak, then your bumper sticker has another meaning an then the Secret Service knocks on your door.

Attending a summit hardly seems like ‘backing.’ It’s more like education.

At its core this is radical Islam. Unless it is curbed now we will have more problems than you can imagine.

The stupidity is breathtaking.

If we ever wanted proof Obama wanted to destroy the western world, here it is in all it’s glory.
