| #7 But, but, Obama was going to part the seas and make it rain in the desert and provide 5 chickens for every pot....and camels LOTS of camels and, and all the dictators of the world would sit around the campfire singing Kumbaya. What happened to all that smart diplomacy? |

| #6 True, g(r) but I suspect the security forces knew who was MB long ago. And letting them stick their heads out only works if you can then chop them off. In this case, their popularity is rising making it more difficult to chop heads. A quiet coup would have been much more controlled. This is out of control and will end badly. Smart coupsters would never have let it happen. Now if you want to argue they weren't smart, you may be correct, but I doubt they were that dumb. |

| #5 Bottom Line Obama does NOT respect the US TRUE allies eg.UK,Israel,Egypt but tries to buddy up with the new powers ie China,Brazil and India which looks desperate! |

| #2 If it were a palace coup, I doubt the coupsters would have unleashed the Mooselem Bruderbund to help. |

| #1 I wonder if the new leadership is just going to let Mubarak, and all his rumored billions, just leave Egypt. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if the popular unrest ==> palace coup chronology is not reversing the order of what actually happened? |
