How horrible.
The regime is shooting people in the streets now.

The regime of President Hosni Mubarak cut off Internet and SMS service throughout the country today.

And, as usual… Barack Obama was late to the dance.

Barack Obama’s response to the situation today was pathetically weak.
The CS Monitor reported:

President Obama spoke up for the first time publicly Thursday on the anti-government protests in Egypt, warning that freedom of expression is essential and that violence is not the answer, either for the Egyptian government or the protesters.

Obama prefaced his remarks by noting Egypt’s role as a US ally, and its peace with Israel, but then used the YouTube forum to offer some encouragement to the youth-driven uprising that began this week against Mubarak’s nearly 30 years of rule. He stressed the importance of free speech, including access to social networking tools.

“That, I think, is no less true in the Arab world than it is here in the United States,” Obama said. By speaking up, the president added weight to the comments of other administration officials, including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose statements have grown increasingly sympathetic to the protesters with each day.

This far left liberal is definitely no Reagan.

    Tomorrow will be worse. Drudge has the latest stories. Massive, nationwide protests, consisting of Christians, Bedoins, and Muslims, all against the government, will take place.

    Tomorrow the regime will show the world whether it is human, or inhuman, one way or the other.

    So many naive dupes, both on the left and the right, support this populist uprising throughout the middle east. They think these protesters actually want real freedom and justice from their tyranical rulers. No, what they really want is an islamofascist regime. Just like with what Iran has now.

    The leftist media is lying to you. Most of the world’s muslims are not “moderate”. They’re evil and backwards fundamenatlists who want people who leave islam executed and non-muslim “infidels” systematically oppressed and persecuted in accordance with sharia law. Which is why islamist groups actually have widespread support on the “arab street” and thoroughout the “muslim world”.

    Their current leaders, while tyrants, are RELATIVELY moderate tyrants who rule over an often deranged, islamist citizernary.

    There’s only 2 real options in most arab muslim countries: islamonazis and leftist communist fascists. Pick your poison.

    If these protests are successful and the arab regimes overthrown, expect these countries to basically be governed by an al qaeda mindset.

    Hmmmm……anybody else remember the tepid rebuke Hussein Dolt gave the Mullahs when their militas were killing people in the streets?

    There’s an election scheduled for later on this year in Egypt. Most times under the Mubarak regime, opposing parties are outlawed and left on the ballot (altho’ sometimes the candidates will run as ‘independents’). Even if the Mubarak regime is able to ride this out, I suspect there will be increasing reigonal and international pressure (not just from us) to allow the previously outlawed parties- including the Muslim Brothernood- onto the ballot between now and then.

    While a dictator in every sense of the word, keep in mind how Mubarak came to power. His predecessor- Sadat- was slain by Egyptian Army officers loyal to an Islamic group during a parade. Sadat also signed a peace treaty with the Israelis, which led to his demise at the hands of his own military….

    Spot-on truth. I couldn’t have put it better myself.

    Given time, any majority-Islamist nation will overthrow any tyranny, and replace it with their own.

    I wonder do the Christians who are protesting even realize this? They think they have it bad now (and they DO!) Just wait until the next government is a mirror-clone of Al-Qaida.

    1. American protests like the Tea Party will be infiltrated by so-called anarchists who are merely thugs, and fire bombs, full blown riots, etc. will be in large evidence.
    2. Barry calls it a major public safety issue caused by right wing extremists (read: Tea Party)
    3. Agents Provocateur will shoot a few folks and instigate more fire bombings
    4. certain areas will be brought under military control
    5. now the people WILL start rioting
    6. a state of emergency is called, and general martial law is put into action
    7. habeous corpus is cancelled by executive order
    8. guns are to be confiscated immediately by executive order
    9. the internet is shut down along with a lot of phone services by executive order
    10. Congress and the Supreme Clowns are shut down by executive fiat
    11. Barry the First is now Czar of Amerikkka and run by the puppet master, Soros

    Amazing. No, MrGoodWench, I hadn’t seen that before.

    Seems like Obama would welcome a “regime change” in Egypt, if his devotion to his mentor’s ideology is real — which I have absolutely no reason to believe it’s not.

    Islamic dictatorial theocracy, comin’ right up!

    Again, I wonder, do the Christians who are protesting realize what kind of “Change™®” they’re going to get, if they oust Mubarak?

    Introduce them to Christ and their future will be bright indeed.

    Isa. 41:10 AV1611

    “10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

    Come what may, and probably will, those who are in Christ alone have hope.

    Now lets play connecty-dotty :

    1. Elberadai = made Iran nuclear by lying to the world, wants Mubarek’s job

    2. Ayers+ Dohrn+Evans = started riots in Egypt to provoke Mubarek ,
    and when he reacted
    Hussain’s peeps didn’t like it one bit

    3. Muslim brotherhood = hates Mubarek , wants him gone to form a sharia state

    4. Hillary = lifts ban and gives visas to muslim brotherhood …

    Mubarek = wants to live in peace with Israel

    Remember why Anwar Sadat was killed ? He wanted to live in peace with Israel too.
    Only unanswered question :
    How will al Zawahiri contribute , since he has done this before
