Good grief, the palestinians go into talks for months at a time before withdrawing. Personally, I'd accept their withdrawl, and allow other parties to organize before the September elections. Egypt will be better off without MB participation.
I'll get back with your about that 2020 vision. :-)
:^)
We should not be fooled. . .they may quit talks; they will still be players; one way - or another.
Our fearless and beloved leader is trying to set up the MB in a power-sharing arrangement to run Egypt, just as he did with his Luo cousin Odinga in Kenya, after he lost the election ... despite The Magic Marxist Mulatto's AND Dick Morris' help!
And just as thousands of Christians were massacred in Kenya by Odinga, you can expect the Copts in Egypt to pay the ultimate price for the Magic Marxist Mulatto's core philosophies.
Can someone, anyone please tell me how I got to live in a country with a President like this. By the way, did you hear this proctological disaster try and sound folksy with that O-Reilly creature? Fightin' ... Workin'.... Tryin' ... The Mombassa Moonbeam lost his "Gs." Very convincing. What he gonna do nex', sing, "Ole Man Riba?"
They’re not quitting talks, they’re “negotiating” from a perceived position of power, the assumption being as the only organized party, nothing can proceed without them. And if it does, their position as the oppressed is assured
Newsflash: The Egyptian Military has many more supporters than the Muslim Brotherhood ... and the Egyptian Military is armed. If the MB wants a civil war, they'll get one, albeit a short one ... say about 15 minutes.
First of all, I have no idea how this ass-hat clown was elected. If you haven’t lost your marbles, it’s hard to rationalize what people without them do.
You’ve got a good point regarding Kenya. I would remind folks what Obama’s actions with regard to Honduras were. And then there’s Iran and Egypt.
The guy does everything he can to undercut those friendly with the West, and to shore up folks who hate the West
I do hope your prediction for the Copts in Egypt doesn’t pan out. It certainly could.
Newsflash: The Egyptian military is 100% Muslim. They are much closer to the Muslim Brotherhood than they are to anyone who believes in freedom and civil rights.
I hope your assessment and prediction here pan out.
BTW: I know you were ribbing me at the start of that last post. ;^)
Take care.
LOL! A Pew opinion survey......LOL! Dude, you might as well quote stalin.....

The Egyptian officer corps, which includes a fair sprinkling of Copts, and the other rankers, enjoy a life style so far superior to the man in the street that it is in their best interests to keep things as they are. Which, by the way, ain't all that bad, compared to other places!
My money is on an interim government with elections next year. Our government is insane to back the MB. The Mombasa Moonbeam himself has backed way off them. (He must have gotten a Blacberry from Soros.)
I do take your point, though. It is is entirely possible that MB cells in the military will cause trouble. But this army has elite units who can take them on very quickly. There is also the AF and the Navy, whose loyalty to Mubarak is, I bet, very strong.
BTW, the military is very well respected ... not feared .... by the Gippo in the street. That's why the soldiers have exercised remarkable restraint and forbearance in dealing with the demonstrators. As I say, give it a week. The MB might just be looking for martyrs to keep this alive, but Egyptians don't do the martyr thing very well.
Even our POTUS, idiotic fool and ideologue that he is, has cooled his pro-MB rhetoric
Full of Watergate wet dreams, the Press have a fetish for "taking down" a government. They are pushing this. There is no good reason for Mubarak to quit only months before election. If he quit tomorrow, the election would be moved up perhaps four months with no "reforms" in place.
The press want chaos as chaos begets headlines and attracts viewers. Increased audience lines their wallets and enhances their celebrity status.
The protestors need to get out of the streets so normal economic activity can resume. Their unrest is starving those fellow Egyptians dependant upon tourism for income.
Obama is not going to resign ahead of an election whether 2012 or 2018.
Me? Rib You? Preposterous.
Hey! ;^)
Newsflash: anti-Islamic bigotry has pickled your brain. You don’t know what you’re talking about re: the Egyptian Army.
The Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project conducts public opinion surveys around the world on a broad array of subjects ranging from people’s assessments of their own lives to their views about the current state of the world and important issues of the day. More than 240,000 interviews in 57 countries have been conducted as part of the project’s work. The project is directed by Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan “fact tank” in Washington, DC, that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. The project is principally funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts. The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation provided supplemental grants for the 2002 and 2007 surveys. Components of the 2007 survey were conducted in partnership with the Kaiser Family Foundation and The New York Times.
“we should be backing him all the way.”
