Less than a week after a State of the Union address that relegated foreign policy to an almost parenthetical concern, the turmoil in Egypt serves reminder yet again how global events can surprise and demand a presidency's attention nonetheless. ...
Finally, as my former NSC colleague Elliott Abrams points out, Egypt vindicates President George W. Bush's strategic insight in his 2003 speech to the National Endowment for Democracy:
Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe -- because in the long run, stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty. ... As long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export."
The window is diminishing, but not yet closed, for President Obama to seize the initiative and make emphatically clear to the people of Egypt -- and to whatever leaders succeed Mubarak -- that the United States supports their desire for liberty, prosperity, and a better future. Doing so now offers the best hope for a meaningful U.S.-Egypt partnership in the future.

Sh*t they don’t know where they have been much less what is going to happen..........
“Bush’s Fault” ... next... LOL
That will be as long as they are Muslim.
See it coming? They’re the template for it. The protesters leaflets look like something out of Rules for Radicals. Now the Egyptians are talking about a million man march. Sheesh.
Gotta have your eyes open...
Of course the Obama administration saw it coming. They orchestrated it.
You get it. Obama and Co. are up to their ears in this. The Muslim Brotherhood runs the Unions in Egypt. Unions-Marxists-Obama. It all adds up. An Islamo-Marxist Alliance. Obama is Pro-Marxist and Pro-Muslim. It all makes sense. Obama wants a Muslim State in Egypt. Also a Marxist State. A Communist Theocracy if you will.
Because Obama and company are inept, irresponsible and incompetent and that’s just for starters.
Its because all of the kings men are too busy protecting the king from lawsuits, slander and truths from being revealed.
They have no time or resources to take away from protecting the Kingdom of Lies that obama built.
They are constantly having to tutor the MSM in ways to attack sarah Palin, they are constantly working on ways to bribe and coerce politicians from repealing obamacare.
They are also too busy laying out a new secure foundation of non-traceable funding and vote buying for the next election.
Whatever happens abroad means nothing for a dictator/usurper.
BUMP! (as I watch the Al-Jazeera live stream of propaganda...there, they just said it again...”million man march”)
Why didn’t eh CIA see the Fall of the Soviet Union’s coming?
The real question is what do we do about it?
Community organizers UNITE!
What do you mean, the obama regime did not see this coming? They ENGINEERED this confrontation.
It is the booting out of the Shah of Iran and setting the ayatollahs in power all over again. The “Muslim Brotherhood” is a front organization for the return of a theocracy, much like that now in control of Iran, in the Arabic Muslim countries.
This will not stop with Egypt. Jordan and Saudi Arabia are both in line to topple next, and Lebanon is already secured.
Some 40% of the oil transported across the oceans passes through the Suez Canal, a vital passage serving Europe and the western part of Africa. This chokepoint cannot be anything less than a dagger aimed at the heart of the European Union, an entity already dangerously close to the brink.
This changes the perspective on a LOT of things. Never let a good crisis go to waste.
And you still think this regime is NOT on the side of the worldwide Islamic Caliphate?
The Obama-Ayers-CODEPINK-al Qaeda-Moslem Brotherhood
ENGINEERED this.
How can ANYONE purport they “did not see it coming”?
Because they’re too busy campaigning
“O” can’t see past his nose. Period. He is not that smart or that experienced.
Any Joe Shmoe on the street understands politics and global politics better than “O”. He sees everything (if he sees it at all) through the ‘let’s brand all our opponents racists’ filter. It kinda obscures things, doesn’t it?
See it coming? Good grief - Obama and the Left helped to INSTIGATE this whole mess.
O-Blunder will end up a worldwide laughing stock if he isn’t already, and America has to take the fall for his idiocy.
Hillary saw it, you betcha!....probably helped it along. Tell BHO? Hell No!......she may be evil, but she ain’t stupid.
