Egypt goes berserk

Is this a sign of hope that he's leaving?

Faux News is so out of touch with reality.

I know you're fond of MSNBC. You do realize they're no better right? You're such a fucking tool Rocky.

Would it matter? Look at his VP, his PM, look at how Tunisia went post-Ben Ali. Mubarak has just been buying time, he's set up Egypt to run with a bunch of his puppets so that he doesn't need to be there. Him "leaving" will change NOTHING. The entire government needs to be thrown out.

If you're referring to Ed, Rachel & Lawrence, though political pundits they actually report journalistic facts & do not deny being progressives. While Faux News claim they're fair & balanced & only provide talking points, propaganda to outright lies for their corporate bosses.

Is this thread still about Egypt?
It sounds more like the FARK Politics tab

1) nodome
2) moving posts between threads appears to be difficult in XF
3) most of the mods are in RPF, so their posts are "held from above"
4) you're not helping

Agreed, I always regret seeing political partisan Faggotry interjected into threads but, once having seen such faggotry, find it hard to ignore.

Lol @ Israel trying, as always, to game the results in their favor.
GLWT

yea cause theyre scared theyre going to lose one of the only countries in the area not shooting at them with the regime change

Million Egyptian March

I think you're a little confused. Israel is the one doing all the shooting.
Also, Israel's main enemies, Hamas and Hizbollah, are not countries.

ITT historical revisionism

we know iran doesn't like them much either. I mean, didn't ahmadinejad say something about wiping Israel out of the universe awhile back or something of the likes? also saddam when he was in power before in fact paid some of the suicide bombers families that went out to kill Israelis

alrite i stand corrected, what i meant was that they are scared they will lose the support of a major ally if the power shifts the wrong way in the country.

Actually, Iran is the one that should be afraid.
צְבָא הַהֲגָנָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל(IDF)=fourth largest army in the world.
Plus, Israel's the one with all the nukes.

Israel does have some cause to fear because if egypt dissolves the peace treaty and gets hostile, all hell is gonna break loose because of the interconnected treaties concerning peace will drag most of the mid-east into the fray opposite Israel. not to mention the un and the rest of the euro-american powers interceding. and as for the nukes, the moment they launch one the rest of the world is gonna turn that country into so much radioactive dust

yeah good ole israel that democracy that only gives you rights if you're jewish. lol

al arabiya is reporting general strike called and plans for a million man march tomorrow

Just wondering, why don't some Vulture Ministers go to Egypt and hand out Way To Happiness booklets?

They've been busy handing them out to the Palestinians and Israelis, and that's working so well.

So the Muslim Brotherhood stepped forward too early?

implying that MB are Fundies

If wanting to set up a state based first and foremost on religious law is not fundamentalism, then I don't know what is.

Then why are [some of the] Muslim Brotherhood backing Mohamed ElBaradei ? Wouldn't fundamentalists be backing a Cleric?

They are backing the overthrow of the current dictator and don't want to risk giving the dictator a reason to stay in power.

When he's gone you will soon see the MB, the largest opposition movement in Egypt, that got 20% of the vote a few years back, step up into the limelight. The question is will they submit to a democratic process, or will they use force and intimidation to eliminate the opposition?

Note that top members of their organization were freed from prison during the protests by men with guns.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

implying that backing Mohamed ElBaradei is a mistake

Maybe they're ballsier than I, but I wouldn't try to use deceit and intimidation to try to get these people under my thumb.

They're standing up to a fucking army for christ's sake.

People like this don't afraid of masses opposing them:
