What exactly are Mubarak’s crimes, according to the protesters? Heard a guy talking on the news, saying he should be taken to court and held accountable for his crimes... which are? Just curious... haven’t kept up wi this very well.

Apparently he ruled over Egypt in peace for the last 30 years, maintaining stability not only in his own country but in the entire Middle-East only to, just last week become a brutal and unrepentant tyrant, depriving his subjects of all human rights and repressing them without mercy.

The story has been updated:

“A senior Obama administration official confirmed that the attack happened soon after Suleiman was appointed, on Jan. 29. The official described it as an organized attack on Suleiman’s motorcade.”

He is GOOD. He will learn basic economics fast, I predict. Not like Hussein Obama.

You don't think it's a coincidence that the SHTF when a bunch of Egyptian Military Chiefs were out of the country (at the Pentagon)?

Hello Candor...BTW thank you for including my former link with yours.

Did you see Beck today? I haven’t watched him for awhile because he was getting too preachy etc. But todays show is worth a watch to see his take..and his guest on how the Muslim/Islamic Brotherhood/Iran and others are tightening their grip around the ME....

Interesting to see the maps show the progression they have already taken ,and the aim for sudan, algeria, libia, turkey, etc. which would cut off the suez, Gulf of Aden and Gulf of Oman. All which surrounds Saudi.

Well- Richard Engel is an interesting story all by himself- see his history with covering Iraq and Afghanistan back a few years ago.

This is what happens when journalists become wedded to their narrative- and only consider the sources they want to believe. Someone might want to tell Engel that two of the VP’s bodyguards were killed at the time of the assassination attempt.

Pssst Engel: A senior Obama administration official confirmed that the attack happened soon after Suleiman was appointed, on Jan. 29. The official described it as an organized attack on Suleiman’s motorcade.

Wow..., and here I didn’t know there were Tea Party members or people influenced by Sarah Palin in Egypt. Who knew?

Engel tweets:

“#egypt. On maddow at top of hour.. Then sleep!”

I might just watch, just to see how he weasels his way out of it.

Thak you also for the link, yes the World Wide Caliphate is on the move, and Obama is a paladin for them, just as he was in Kenya in 2006/2007, where they only half won, after creating Orange Party genocide killing 15,000 people.

Oh wow- I’d forgotten that piece of the puzzle...

Man this looks ugly, doesn’t it?

And I just saw this tweet:

@Max_Fisher: Trying and failing to think of another time the U.S. has publicly sought the removal of a close ally. Are there any??

He wasn’t a perfect saint, and he was supported by the United States - OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!
