Trouble In Egypt

Posted in Uncategorized by chamblee54 on February 2, 2011






As you may have heard, Egypt is having a revolution. The latest from Al Jazeera is that “pro Mubarek forces” are staging a counterattack against the protesters, and that things are getting ugly. ( A word of warning. If you click on Al Jazeera, you might find it difficult to turn away. )

There is other coverage from websites that are not corporate media. Palestinian Pundit has a picture, at the top, of Khalid Sa’id. He is a young man killed by authorities in Alexandria. There is a video of the violence in Cairo, with this comment
” IT APPEARS THAT A COUNTER OPERATION VERY SIMILAR TO OPERATION AJAX, WHICH SUCCEEDED IN TOPPLING MOUSSADEQ IN IRAN IN 1953 AND IN RESTORING THE SHAH, IS UNDER WAY! IT LOOKS THE SAME AND FEELS THE SAME. NO DOUBT, ISRAEL AND THE US CIA HAVE PUT THIS NEW PLAN INTO ACTION!”
With regards to BHO, he appears to be making a lot of people mad. Some say he is propping up a corrupt dictator. Others take another view.
“One comment by Aviad Pohoryles in the daily Maariv was entitled “A Bullet in the Back from Uncle Sam.” It accused Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of pursuing a naive, smug, and insular diplomacy heedless of the risks. Who is advising them, he asked, “to fuel the mob raging in the streets of Egypt and to demand the head of the person who five minutes ago was the bold ally of the president … an almost lone voice of sanity in a Middle East?” “The politically correct diplomacy of American presidents throughout the generations … is painfully naive.”
Some see the Middle East as being all about Israel. Many of these are in congress .
“Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) of Florida, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that only parties who support Israel should be allowed to compete in fall elections.“The U.S. should learn from past mistakes and support a process which only includes candidates who meet basic standards for leaders of responsible nations – candidates who have publicly renounced terrorism, uphold the rule of law, recognize Egypt’s international commitments including its nonproliferation obligations and its peace agreement with the Jewish state of Israel, and who ensure security and peace with its neighbors.”
Another source of information is Angry Arab . A sampling of his recent comments include:

Protesters determined Aljazeera is reporting that protesters are now about to control all entrances to Tahrir Square. The counter-revolutionary plot of Obama-Netanyahu is way too clear to people. Another Zionist is freaking out“We are concerned. We are watching this very anxiously,” says Dan Gillerman, a former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations. “This is a very, very tough neighbourhood,” he says. “We are already facing Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and the prospect of, God forbid, an autocratic, fundamentalist, Islamic organisation taking over in Egypt is obviously not something we can ignore.””A plea to the Egyptian Army Why don’t you perform for the us the walk of surrender that you were most famous for in 1967?”
