#2 In the nick of time to help Egypt fall into the hands of the Moslem Brotherhood. Imagine a second Iran.

#3 Starting to get that bad feeling, and not just because State has been on the wrong side of every issue.

#4 yes, the Hildabeast and the Obama admin have been inept on this

however, it really doesn't matter

Carter said lots of 'don't repress the people' stuff and we all know the rest

The fact is that most of the Egpytian 'street' just hates America and has no problem saying so. Of course a lot of the Egyptian street hats the Islamists too but they don't dare say so (at least when using their full legal name).

#5 I heard part of her speech. She called on the Egyption government to allow the people to protest peacefully. The problem is the protests have long since passed the peaceful stage.

#6 Shah of Iran Part II (Another Donk Production - because the Best and Brightest are on hand at State*)

#7 Duh! How about calling for Secularism.

Why is Mubarak under pressure? On 9-11 there were 19,000 muslim brotherhood animals rotting in Egypt's prisons. After 8 years of the "islam is peace" president, that was down to 1,000. The State Dept worked for "inclusion" of said animals in the country's political system.

Hell, I don't want them to vote; I want them to die. A sane US President would indulge an Islamonazi turkey shoot in Egypt, and pay for the bullets.

#8 Everything in this admin is a remake- the next JFK, Sputnik, START, Vietnam, Bush Bailout, Bush Tax Cuts, HillaryCare.

Maybe Mubarak could go dinnerjacket-thumping people around, that seemed to garnish the sympathy of the Oh Crew. And for an Admin which ran on (at least publically) not meddling in other nations' affairs seem to have an official opinion about every effn thing and so consistantly increase the instability Ivory Coast should be glad they slipped under the radar.

But I'm not concerned about State and diplomacy gaffes, not getting used to it its just after watching a drunk monkey on frozen banana peels just not surprised to see shit on the walls. Not downplaying what seems to be a fairly upset crowd and people getting hurt, I'm throwing out the obvious what happens if the canal closes scenario, then it gets international real quick.
