Wow... that's some crazy stuff going on
Can someone give me some info on what started this and in Tunisia. Is it people uprising because of corruption in politics while having bad living standards?
LOL they were just rocking a huge truck into the water
Don't try this at home, these are professionals
Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.
Egypt has just suspended ALL flights into Egypt! wow. "will ring serious alarm bells for foreign embassies and foreign governments"

Is anyone getting you-tubes of Gates' speech, other US officials? They are stressing "nonviolence" and "opening up dialog with the people". I have an idea for a project to apply these recommendations against them.

Good, its a precursor to here. All the Gold stolen and the peoples money buys squat. Of course they will riot.

He was just on the link I posted above. He was saying that they should turn the internet and social networks back on. He condemned any violence by the protesters and military/police. He also mentioned that Obama was briefed for 40 minutes about Egypt, and that he is monitoring a fluid situation to see if protests spread to the rest of the mideast.Originally Posted by mczerone
The ruling party headquarters is burning to the ground in Cairo right now.

Not as long as we have our television. The only time Americans riot is when our sports teams lose or win championships.
I hate the Lakers.

MSNBC breaking news.......only 3 days behind
Interesting how listening to Al Jazeera, they are saying the Muslim Brotherhood has not been involved, and has mostly been a youth-led protest without any leadership to speak of. Yet Hannity was going on about how the Muslim Brotherhood was involved in this and how harmful it would be if they gained power.
Attempting to shut down all Internet & mobile phone service would certainly do it, too.
And yeah, Will, that about sums it up. Fraudulent election, inspiration from recent uprising in Tunisia due to corruption (some of it exposed directly by Wikileaks), poor standard of living and extremely oppressive dictator.
They will gain some power if a new govt goes in . They do not need to protest . Basically your looking at unemployed kids , uneducated , no job opputunities , no future .
Muslim Brotherhood has become involved, btw, calling for military to force out Mubarak's regime.
Thanks for that update. I know Al Jazeera isn't necessarily the best source.
The US reporters live in Cairo did excellent reporting all walks of social/economic/ages life in Egypt protested. It wasn't militants or just young people.
It's a movement against an Elitist Puppet controlled abroad. You listen to all the US politicians on what should be allowed... yet it's practically banned here in the US.
Obama... "Egyptians have rights, rights to protests, rights to assembly peacefully."
Yeah Obama... Demonstrat wearing a mask in Washington DC and you're Arrested. Pure 100% Propaganda for the planet to soak upon.

Obama speaks from prepared speech, walks off without taking questions.
I think Hillary wrote that speech for him.
Also worth noting many Muslim Brotherhood activists were arrested last night. Mubarak's response has been extremely provocative.
Yes , but that is routine , they arrest them all the time , jail , torture .
Winning hearts and minds.
Mubarak had the chance to do the right thing.
He Didn't .
Obama had the chance to say the right thing.
He Didn't .
You can't have Mubarak without Barak
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Hope the Egyptians see that dependency. Obama/Mubarak poor responses are further provoking the angry citizens. When Mubarak stated he would be replacing everyone but himself, the crowd shouted "Down with Hosni Mubarak!" The military is not under Mubarak's control. He is toast.Winning hearts and minds.

We have ABC News (I know, I know) often on in the background while we do the dishes. One of the things they were saying is that Egyptians are picking up the used/discarded tear gas cannisters... and reading how they say "MADE IN THE U.S.A." on them. Yep, I think they get the dependency.
Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.

There have been a few threads over on Fark.com on the riots in Egypt.
Here is the links to a couple of them.

They also had an update thread on the Iran riots of the past.

God, just what is it with the media's fetish for terrible puns?
It seems there is much the people of the world have in common.
