What says you about the situation in EGYPT?

That's why Obama must end all support for tyrants in Egygt, Israel, Jordan, etc. and treat the Middle East the same as the US with equal rights for all persons.

After Cuba destroyed the CIA/Mossad, Ronny switched sides from the to Mandela/Tutu/ANC human rights and freedoms for all persons and Apartheid ended. The revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt will grow into democracy and freedom for the entire Middle East and end the regimes of Sharia/Zionist tyrants.

Despotic Arab regimes have whipped up hatred of Israel

I always ask supporters of Israel if they would enjoy living with Zionism in their town

For instance can Mayor Bloomberg in Lower Manhattan institute Zionism ? What about Beverly Hills CA ? Cambridge MA ? Berkeley CA ? Forsyth County GA ? Fayettville AR ? Eugene OR ? Lawrence KS ? Tucson AZ ? Or here where I live in Omaha ?

In Lower Manhattan would Irish, Italians, Afros, Jamaicans, Chinese, Germans, Russians, etc. agree to peacefully give up their property, homes, schools, skyscrapers to Jews because their grandparents were killed in the Holocaust ?

In Beverly Hills, would Arabs, Gentiles, Japanese, and Persians agree to sign away their homes and leave town peacefully to Jews because their grandparents were killed in the Holocaust ?

If the answers are no, then don't expect non-Jewish Semitic and Caucasian people in the Arab world to agree to it either.

The foreign aid paid to Egypt from the USA -- second only to the many billions given annually to Israel and taken from the pocket of the US taxpayer -- is a bribe to the dictator to do the bidding of Israel, primarily the enforcement of the starvation blockade on Gaza.

Israel has something like 6 million Jews, is surrounded by a billion Muslims that is has mistreated, and is more and more hated by the US citizenry every day, their sole source of protection. You'd think they'd know better than to arrogantly dictate to their neighbors who they should elect to govern them and to stop blaming the victim every time they set out on one of their mass murder sprees.

A very hard rain is gonna fall.

bush contributed in two ways: he made that speech urging popular uprisings and democracy in the region and he got the world into a terrible recession that created the conditions for these uprisings.

But of course gay Barney Frank and Chris Dodd refusing to change Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had nothing to do with it right? Frank lisping on about how Bush needed to quit trying to regulate them while they both continued to lend money to people who should never have gotten loans had nothing to do with it, right? Meanwhile, Chris Dodd also got some uh, "special" treatment from Countrywide Mortgage but I guess that's Bush's fault as well.

You'll be judged for your homophobia, but also your stupidity. Clinton's deregulation of Glass Stegall played a role, but Republicans support deregulation even more strongly and did nothing to re-regulate when they controlled Congress under Bush. As far as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they got into the game late and the private sector action was far larger and far more significant. And obviously the Republicans did nothing to stop it. In fact, I wonder if their turn from their traditional business practices came as a result of Bush management techniques. If there hadn't been a housing bubble, propped up by Greenspan's Fed policies, enjoined by Bush (along with record unnecessary deficits to give tax breaks to the rich), there never would have been any Bush era economic growth.

One of the most refreshing aspects of the protests has been the lack of Israel focus by the actual protesters, and a focus on the real issues that are in front of them, i.e. these despotic regimes.

If Lieberman (the Israeli, not the Senator) is arrested and his party (Yisrael Beitenu) leaves the majority in the Israeli Parliament, then there will be new elections unless the leading opposition party (Kadima) joins the majority, which they might do under the circumstances, but maybe not.

Israel is a despotic regime that imprisons 6 million of it's own people in concentration camps in Israel, Egypt, and Jordan.

The Washington A-List was out in force Saturday night at the farewell party for senior adviser David Axelrod, with a roster of guests featuring Cabinet secretaries, big shot journos and – President Obama.

As revolution threatened to sweep Egypt and possibly other allies – with the horrifying prospect of Islamism replacing reliable friends – the president was on view partying with the IN crowd.

The skepticism beyond the Beltway about whether Washington is just one big Love-In certainly gets fed by the sight – as conveyed by the press pool report – of reporters like ABC’s Jake Tapper, NBC’s Chuck Todd, National Journal’s Major Garrett, and John Harwood of CNBC and the New York Times emerging from a bash with the president that was held to toast his chief political fixer and leading spinmeister.

I understand why reporters would do this – other than the admittedly pathetic notion that, gosh, it’s fun to party with the president of the United States! It is pretty good for building sources and getting inside dope. But man, it ain’t easy smacking the White House with tough stories all the time if you’re getting invited to their exclusive parties, now is it?

Also on hand were Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, and Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The party was at the Washington residence of Linda Douglass, the former hard-hitting ABC reporter who dropped out of journalism to spin the health care bill out of the White House. She’s now a VP at Atlantic Media.

So we have an official with a journalism outfit – Atlantic Media – HOSTING a party for the president and his consigliere.

Mrs. Obama stayed home. Good for her. Maybe she was monitoring the situation in Egypt.

Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum BumBumBum dudduhduhduntduh, Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah. Come on, no one else thought that when they sent in the jet fighters? well, Hope it all ends well.

It's not about Islam. It's not about Zionism. It's not about the United States, President Obama, or President Mubarak. President Lincoln and the men of the Union decided in 1861, just the same as the men of the Middle East have decided today, that they are so lucky and so blessed to be alive, that they must secure Freedom and Democracy for the present and for generations to come. It's that simple.

This is a troll post, and I'm pretty sure good ol' Keith Koffler is trolling us as well, but this is truly a situation of "damned if you do, damned if you don't."

If Obama comes out in support of the protesters, he's accused of abandoning our allies.

If Obama comes out in support of the regime, he's against democracy, freedom of speech, yada yada.

Standing on the sidelines is probably the smartest thing Obama can do right now, but then he's accused of being inattentive and "fiddling while Egypt burns."

Obviously the US doesn't matter.

Israel has mistreated a billion muslims? Seriously? A billion muslims? Really? A billion muslims? You might gain some respect on the site if you didn't use it to embarrass yourself with ridiculous hyperbole.

Arab dictators keep themselves in power by focusing their enslaved population's attentions on Israel. Israel has nothing to do with the fact that corrupt Arab dictators have looted their countries. Israel has nothing to do with the fact that Arab countries treat women like dogs. Does Israel make muslims spray acid in girl's faces as they walk to school? How is it Israel's fault that starving Arabs who resort to shoplifting food wind up getting their hands cut off?

It's time for Muslims to stop blaming Israel for their problems and start demanding accountability from their leaders.

Oh, and by the way, here's a reality check, UncleB. Israel has 200 nuclear warheads. They don't need their "sole source of protection". Israel could destroy every Arab city a hundred times over if it deemed that necessary.

That kind of talk is the problem in the Middle East. Why do you have to act like you are superior to everyone. Get along with your people because if God forbid your kid needs a kidney transplant or bone marrow transplant you will have to go to your people and ask for help.

Nazi-Zionism is illegal in the United States. Literally illegal. You cannot discriminate based on religion in the United States. You cannot steal homes, land, money from people because their religion differs from yours. You cannot bulldoze homes and assassinate people because their religion differs from yours.

Yes it will. If an unstable government decides to make changes at the Suez Canal it could be very costly.

Just curious but what is your Nazi Party affiliation ? Skin Heads ? Tea Party ? KKK ? JDL ? Birthers ?

Israel could destroy every Arab city a hundred times over if it deemed that necessary.

so why have there not been any elite Egyptian runners in the last 60 years? Egypt's population is the size of Algeria's, Tunisia's and Morocco's combined, right? and look at all the great runners those other North African countries produced. Why is that?

You're not very bright if you think I'm Keith.

0bamao helped cause this debacle and the likely outcome of the Muslim Brotherhood taking over may be exactly what he wants.

It's either that or he is just a complete buffoon.
