This is spreading throughout ME. It is not about "freedom." It is all about anti-US, anti-West.
Jordan is our second biggest Islamic friend in ME, Egypt is (was) #1.
This is a disaster.
Is Turkey in the ME? I thought they were our biggest ally.
However, Obama has to make moves to ensure that the Muslim Brotherhood does not take the lead here.
I heard he's watching basketball this morning.
“Saeed did not specifically name King Abdullah. But he said Jordan’s prime minister “must draw lessons from Tunisia and Egypt and must swiftly implement political reforms.”
As mentioned earlier Saeed of the muslim brotherhood(i will never capitalize that word). Political reforms=sharia law.
I hope somebody at the pentagon has plans to get our troops to the relative safety of our ships on short notice.
When governments fall, supply lines are cut. I suspect we’ll lose access to Egyptian airspace no matter who wins this one.
No, he's not. And, it's not a - unsurprisingly - very smart move on his part.
He won the election in 2008, not because of the weakness of McCain's campaign, or the so-called financial crisis, but because gasoline was near record prices in the summer of 2008. That is what set the table for his election.
But, the same thing can happen to him - and, not only might we see skyrocketing fuel prices, but we could conceivably see gas lines cira 1978. Even ignoring what that will do to unemployment, a real energy crisis - like one that would be precipitated by a Islamicists control of the Suez, would guarantee he'd lose the election to Pee Wee Herman.
From where are you getting the 100+ per barrel figure? Futures yesterday closed at 89.34.
That is a vast oversimplification.
This situation cannot be cut down into “we vs they”, though that will be very convenient for groups with their own agenda.
Everything about uprisings are messy...they look a lot more black and white in retrospect and history books...but most are extremely messy and opaque.
and so it begins...See what happens when you elect an unAmerican marxist moosie magic negro as president.
This obammy is a punk and the whole world knows it.
tyrant leaders eh? I can't wait to see the new era of freedom and compassion that these usurpers would bring with them. You will be free to do do what your told, when you are told, and how you were told. If you are a female, you won't even enjoy that much freedom. Christians? Jews? You'll be free to kill them wherever they may be. Oh, and wait until your new islamic benefactors end trade between your states and the rest of the world. Then you will be free to be even more poor than you now are. Won't that be fun? But don't worry, in the end, you'll be free to die by the bombs that we drop on your cities after your new leaders realize that war is the only option for you.
Obama wants 200 a barrel oil. Then he can sell his obamamobiles and windmills.
Big disaster in the making.
On this, Obama will also fail.
Yes, this is a disaster. The most chilling part of this disaster, IMHO, is the fact that our country is not ready for it.
Help! Help! I’m losing sleep. I’m trying to figure a strategy to get a bacon-lettuce-and-tomato sandwich down the gullet of every member of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Taliban and the Iraqi insurgent fighters.
This allegation is also apparently supported by WikiLeaks disclosures.
The Muslim Brotherhood is either part of a counter-intel distraction campaign or they didn't read the memo.
If the Mooselimb Brotherhood take over Egypt they will destroy the Egyptian artifacts like the Taliban destroyed the Buddha Statues in Afghanistan.
Mark My Words...
Of course if this come to pass I am sure all those Liberal Academics will sing nothing but praise for their actions...
Here is a question— why is it that when the Iranians went to the streets to protest the tyranny of their Islamic theocratic government, it did not catch on with all the other Middle East countries who also have been living under tyranny? The Iranian protestors used the same methods like email, texting, flash mobs, thousands of people in the street but it went nowhere. The world looked on and did nothing. But when large numbers of people take to the streets protesting a tyrannical secular government, whether in Egypt or Tunisia, suddenly the Arab world erupts with sympathetic demonstrations and calls for taking down their own secular tyrannical governments.
Could this be a stealth version of the 1979 Iranian revolution? The Egyptian protests began with Facebook postings, anybody can put on a Facebook posting, you cannot know the motive of the original poster. It may have been someone who was simply tired of Mubarrak or it could have been a stealth Muslim Brotherhood conspirator.
I have looked carefully at the crowds in the Egyptian street looking for some obvious Muslim fanatics, but I saw few who were screaming out Allah Akbar. This movement does not, so far, have a Muslim radical look about it. But that could be part of a plan. The imams could be telling there people in the mosques “Don’t blow it, don’t give it away.” The Muslim Brotherhood may have been planning this for many months, they have members in many countries including the USA and Europe. The demonstrations in the USA were interesting, I wonder who these people are.
“Oil is now $100 a barrel. Obama doing nothing. “
And why would he do something? If he controls the oil, he controls food distribution which means he and his czars control the people.
Rulers have met the enemy and it is Demographics + Democracy. Produce or perish. Majority wins.
