So when the Muslim Brotherhood shuts down the Suez, will that be Obama’s doing as well?
No, that'll be an "unintended consequence."
Well, if that happens, I’d imagine we’d have to “go Kuwaiti” on their slimey little hearts.
Seriously, though, if/when MB takes the Canal, I’d shut it down. Then. Within the hour. Blockade it. Lock it up tight. Nobody in, nobody out. Then sit and wait for the Egyptians to arrive. The Egyptians will deal with the ‘hood, and I have confidence, just as they surrounded the museums and protected them from thugs, and protected their own neighborhoods from criminals, they will take their Suez Canal back - if need be, with us providing all the ammo they could ever wish for from the sidelines. It’ll be a nice little shooting gallery and a historic moment for the Egyptian people.
The Egyptians need to make up their minds if they want a non-partisan/non-theocratic democracy or a partisan/islamic theocracy. The form of government they end up with, and how their minorities are treated, will determine how the world responds. It’s 2011 after all, not 1972.

Think of how that would advance the cause of limiting nasty greenhouse emissions! Obama would be an enviro hero!
Our company is already planning on gas prices rising to $5 to $8 per gallon.
Food prices are also skyrocketing. I buy 3-4 extra canned meat products when I do my weekly grocery shopping.
Each paycheck I also pick up another box of Hornady 230gr. XTP rounds for the P220.
