Al Quaeda hates the Muslim Brotherhood because they call for non-violence. Just sayin'.

But no, from what most have said, the Muslim Brotherhood won't be taking over. They work on a community level, not a leadership level.

Sue CNN they said that the Muslim Brotherhood is a sponsor of terrorism. Not me. If Egypt goes after Israel I hope Israel levels Egypt.

The MB apparently has different incarnations depending upon what country it's in (it is pan-islamic)

The people of Egypt have been very non-violent through out this. They are not a violent people, generally.

It's understood that the Egyptian military hired the Black Eyed Peas in an effort to disperse the crowd after Mubarak's resignation speech.

Christopher Lee resigned his job because:

A) His focus is entirely upon saving his marriage and family now
B) Not suitable behaviour for a "family values" elected official.
C) This is really just the tip of the iceberg - if still a GOP congressman, the scrutiny would be never-ending and even more revealing.

Seriously - don't you think the resignation was a bit abrupt? Or is he indeed that humiliated?

Riot 02-10-2011 02:33 PM

So, the statement by Mubarak is delayed an hour ... Egyptian TV now showing corruption story alongside picture of Tahrir Square crowd.

Geesh - you don't think he's fighting the army? Is he still in Cairo or has he indeed been spirited elsewhere for his national broadcast?

Coach Pants 02-10-2011 02:34 PM

Jesus told him to step down so he did.

Riot 02-10-2011 02:51 PM

Oh my god, he's talking now, and he's not gonna step down!

He's blaming outsiders! Oh my gawd .... this guy is stubborn.

He sure talked alot and said pretty much nothing. He must be thick as a brick if he doesnt get it that the people dont want him anymore. They want freedom and I commend them for seeking it and not backing down, the military is also to be commended for protecting the people.

Coach Pants 02-10-2011 03:18 PM

He wants to be a martyr.


Same song and dance with these a-holes.

The point I'm trying to make is that Obama should not get involved with the mess in Egypt. There are enough problems in this country to keep him occupied.

your post above said no such thing. and of course obama and the state dept will keep an eye on egypt. to do otherwise would be irresponsible. i doubt you'd feel this concern were it a republican in the executive.

I would feel the same way whether it is a Democrat or Republican. This country has a habit of sticking its nose in another countries affair when it shouldn't.

i doubt that. and of course we care about what happens with egypt, considering where it is located. you might want to consider the bigger picture rather than just say we need to mind our business.

That would involve Cognitive ability far beyond his capabilities. It would be akin to a Pomeranian lining up in the gates and winning the Kentucky Derby..

Princess Doreen 02-11-2011 06:28 AM

Not being concerned about what happens in Egypt is a bury one's head in the sand analogy. We should be very concerned.

Egypt has been a deciding factor in keeping peace with Israel. We've been plowing $2 billion a year into Egypt's budget (mostly for military expense) to ensure the peace is kept.

I'm not saying Mubarak is a great guy to his people - obviously not. BUT, we and they have to be concerned about jumping from the frying pan into the fire. We don't know what's on the horizon for a new regime and IF one of the underlying causes for this revolution is the peace with Israel.

All I can imagine is that if a new regime takes a different approach toward Israel and so much as stares at them cross-eyed, the Middle East will erupt like it's never erupted before. And, that is (to my way of thinking) the main reason why we should be concerned about what's going on in Egypt.

I understand you are trying to make a point but dont you feel that this country gets involved in another countries affairs too much?

Speaking strictly about Egypt, I think the USA handing over $2 billion a year since the Egypt/Israel peace accords allows us to the privilege of being involved. Egypt has a lot to lose should they lose that yearly "stipend" unless, of course, the new US mentality is to have Israel beaten into oblivion.

although we open ourselves up to criticism if we do get involved, the rest of the world generally looks towards us in times of crisis. we get asked for help a lot, in a variety of ways.
it's only when we get stupid about what to do that we really screw up. when we ignore the bigger picture, or when we waste universal good will by becoming a tyrant.
this isn't one of those times.

dellinger63 02-11-2011 07:51 AM

The powers that be behind the Muslim Brotherhood CAN NOT be allowed to take over Egypt's military, ranked 10th largest in the world, and especially their air-force, including 200+ F-16's.

Whether we get involved overtly or covertly we will need to get involved. For the time being providing inferior replacement parts would be an idea I'll throw out there.

dellinger63 02-11-2011 08:52 AM

WGN is reporting Mubarek and wife have left the country. Heard somewhere that Baden Baden Germany courtesy of the USA was a possible destination.

There is little doubt in my mind that the US will ensure that someone who will "play ball" will find his way into office in Egypt. That country is much too vital in regards to regional stability. The US has been pretty good at that over time.

How'd that U.S. ability work out with Iran?
