Obama's Egyptian policy criticized in US as missing its mark February 6, 2011, 2:39 PM (GMT+02:00) Tags: Egypt Mubarak ObamaOriginally Posted by TYLERTECHSAS
US Envoy Frank Wisner
Many Western and Middle East observers were astonished to hear US President Barak Obama's special envoy Frank Wisner insisting that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stay on to steer changes after twelve days of Washington-backed protests failed to unseat him. Some US sources suggested Wisner's words were a pointer to a White House flip flop in its policy on Egypt in view of the clear impression that it had missed its mark and was facing rising criticism at home.

Another reason why adults should be in charge of the American Presidency/Government instead of these socialist dems practicing to be leaders with only limited IQ. Even liberal brainwashed MSNBC is wondering.
Concerns grow over Egypt's WMD research
U.S. has been quiet about its weapons programs, but revolt changes things.
With Egypt in revolt and the country’s future uncertain, concern is growing over whether a new government in the Arab world’s most militarily and industrially advanced country could accelerate an arms race in one of the world’s most volatile regions.
At the heart of the concern is intelligence indicating that Egypt has quietly carried out research and development on weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear, chemical, biological and missile technology.
The research and development has continued virtually without pause over the past three decades, according to interviews with U.S. officials and a review of intelligence and other government documents by NBC News.
Specifically, the intelligence indicates that Egypt has carried out experiments in plutonium reprocessing and uranium enrichment, helped jump-start Saddam Hussein’s missile and chemical weapons programs in Iraq, and worked with Kim il-Jung on North Korea’s missile program.
“If we found another country doing what they’ve done, we would have been all over them,” said a former U.S. intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity.Full story
Surely msnbc couldn't have researched this on their could they? Adds a little fuel to what I've been wondering about,Egypt nuclear capabilities. Very interesting!
Heard the same with many sources saying the same.
First Obama tries as hard as he can to lose Afghanistan and now Egypt.
And now their headed to Israeli border. Thanks Obama/Hillary!
Lawlessness spreads in N. Sinai as Hamas transfers al Qaeda cells
DEBKAfile Special Expose February 8, 2011, 9:18 AM (GMT+02:00)
Israel's Egyptian border patrols are undermanned, under-equipped
Hamas while preparing follow-up attacks on the Sinai gas pipeline after Saturday's explosion has opened the Egyptian-Israeli border region to Al Qaeda jihadists, international smugglers and criminal gangs - all heading for the Israel border. Egypt lacks the manpower for securing the entire Sinai Peninsula. Its troops are concentrating on securing Sharm el Sheikh and the eastern bank of the Suez Canal. Hamas is left to prey on North Sinai and make it a launching pad for terror attacks on Israel.

Egypt nears military coup. USS warships in Suez Canal
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 8, 2011, 11:20 PM (GMT+02:00)
USS Kearsarge with Marine helicopters
A fresh surge of popular anti-Mubarak protest ripping across Egypt Tuesday, Feb. 8 has brought the country closer to a military coup to stem the anarchy than at any time since the street caught fire on Jan. 25.
Vice President Omar Suleiman warned a group of Egyptian news editors that the only choice is between a descent into further lawlessness and a military takeover in Cairo. The distinguished political pundit of the 1960s and 1970s Hasnin Heikal saw no other way out of the crisis but a government ruling by the army's bayonets.
The arrival of US naval, marine and air forces in the Suez Canal's Greater Bitter Lake indicated that the crisis was quickly swerving out of control.
debkafile's military sources report that the American force consists of the USS Kearsarge Expeditionary Strike Group of six warships. Helicopters on some of their decks are there to carry and drop the 2,200 marines of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit which has been bolstered by two special operations battalions.
The flotilla has a rapid strike stealth submarine, the USS Scranton, which is designed to support special forces' operations.
The US strike force has taken up position at a strategic point opposite Ismailia between the west bank of the Suez Canal and its eastern Sinai bank. It is poised for rapid response in the event of the passage of about 40 percent of the world's marine freights through the Suez Canal being threatened or any other extreme occurrence warranting US military intervention.
For a few hours Tuesday, it looked as through Egypt was finally going back to normal after a two-week popular uprising. But then, suddenly, thousands again took to the streets and squares of Egyptian towns - from the Western desert on the Libyan border up to the northern Sinai town of El Arish in the east, recalling Hosni Mubarak's warning of chaos if he were to depart too soon.
Tuesday, the protesters mounted their biggest demonstrations of their campaign to oust Mubarak - in Cairo, Alexandria, the Delta Cities, the industrial belt around Mahalla-el-Kebir and the steel city of Heluan, shouting "Death to Mubarak!" and "Hang Mubarak!"
Although reforms and pay hikes have been pledged by the new Egyptian government, large groups of workers, mainly in Cairo, rebelled against state-appointed managements and set up "Revolutionary Committees" to run factories and other work places, including Egyptian state TV and Egypt's biggest weekly "Ros el-Yusuf."
The stock market and the pyramids remained closed and traffic blocked solid on the streets of Cairo
I'll call bullshit on your debkafile info once again because the 26 MEU & Kearsarge ARG (not ESG) is in Afghanistan/Pakistan right now. And the USS Scranton isn't a part of the ARG.
Are you reading better tonight per comprehension? Try reading it again. Besides, I would never...ever.. bet against Israeli intel which is where these guys get their dope.
I'm beginning to think you don't much care for Obama.
Tyler, there has not been a single correct story from Debka that I can remember over the last year (maybe longer) that you have posted. Israeli intel isn't as high and mighty as you think, and that is straight from the horse's mouth (2 Israeli officers and an enlisted).
We must just agree to disagree again. Besides it's better intel/inside and current scoop, then 95% of that put out here in the states. And much like Drudge at times, it's half a day to a couple days ahead of what we end up seeing and reading in the liberal American press.
Never met the man but I do hate his policies, most of what he seems to stand for so far and how he came to power without any real experience or background check/vetting by the usual methods (liberal press). It's a very sad current snapshot of the United States as I see it.
Muslim Brotherhood text reveals scope of radical creed

Translated by Palestinian Media Watch, book details group’s goal of global Islamic conquest.
One of the greatest beneficiaries of the unrest in Egypt has been the Muslim Brotherhood.
Banned but tolerated for decades by successive Egyptian regimes, the Islamist movement is now emerging as a central player in the country’s resurgent opposition.
