Barak should step down immediately, just like Barak suggested. one of the few times i have ever agreed with Barak. cause Barak obviously needs to GTFO
Well, we started the week with the Vice President disagreeing with the President and Secretary of State. Then, the President starts agreeing with the Vice President but, it's a psyche -- as he quickly pulls the rug out from under Mubarak. All the while, the actual Diplomat over at State is left wondering what the her boss is up to.
It's clearly too sophisticated for us commoners to understand.
And, of course, Gibbsy says it so Wizard-of-Oz-esque that it can't be explained on television.

Are you for or against this brutal Arab dictator, yoni?
Holy things got really bad last night there.
haha check this out

I bet they're all singing about how much they love America now that Obama is president.
You should check out the polls of Egyptian views of America since Obama came to office.
I bet they're not all that concerned about America at the moment.
They care immensely about America and our governments stance towards their government because most people around the world realize the influence we have.
I'd say the notion that they don't care about America could not be more wrong.
Has to be, with that large of a crowd!
They were hating them some American reporters yesterday, that's for sure.
What's funny to me is the "heartfelt sentiment" all the liberal and left leaning media outlets have towards the people that are standing up to their current government. Praising them for standing up to them and getting all giddy cuz it's a revolution yet they on people that do that here, but on a much smaller scale. There's really no difference at all, minus the violence. At least for now there isn't violence. It's all very laughable. And to think all these "intellectuals" on the left--along with the people that lean more left--that think they know what's right for all the non-lawmakers don't see that parallel. It astounds me, really.
I'm sure how this administration thinks they know what's best for the country, and shuts down anyone ANYONE that has opposite views, is something the egyptians don't think too highly of. Isn't that whats going on there? There's no debate over there. It's the way it is and if you don't like it........tough. You're shut off. The same that's going on here.
You compare Tea Partiers to Egyptians putting their bodies in the street to confront the power of a dictator?
...and you compare a belittling press to Mubarak's street thugs. Comedy gold.
I'm not a leftist of any kind and I laughed. That's some truly asounding bs, VLE.
We're just like Egypt how again? Please be specific. Who got shut off?
Those were generally pro-Mubarak types who view the unrest as being caused by foreign journalists, to my understanding.
Anti-Mubarak demonstrators break pavement at Tahrir Square to use as projectiles against pro-regime opponents on Feb. 2 (Foreign Policy.com)
Seems a few of them have had enough english to find some choice words.
Many anti-government protesters have returned to their homes since pro-government supporters raided on Feb. 2. Above, Cairo's Tahrir Square on Feb. 3.
This stuff is getting downright medieval. Walls, rocks, battle-lines, medical triage and all.
I'm basically speaking about opposing one's government or having a different opinion with one's government. I'm not calling our president a dictator. I'm not comparing tea partiers to the Egyptians. It's simply having a different opinion on how one's country is being ran. That's all I'm getting at.You compare Tea Partiers to Egyptians putting their bodies in the street to confront the power of a dictator?

You're walking it back. Smart move.
So, it's not really alike at all.
If you are going to backpeddle, do it right:
...or just admit that's what you really meant, but on second thought it was a bit of a stretch.
Your statement seemed pretty clear to me. It pretty much was a re-statement of other "woe is me, we are such victim" bull sentiments on the part of Fox "news" commentators.
Directly equating the left " ting on" people who protest against the actions of tea partiers protesting our government to what was going on in with oppression in Egypt is exactly what you meant to say.
Lastly, I have little doubt that when left-wing protestors were railing against the US government's decision to invade Iraq, you were there flinging a few turds with the rest of the Fox "news" brigade on people who were expressing differences with their government.

Left leaning press?
The press that's owned by General Electric, Disney, News Corp, CBS, and the like that beat the drum to Bush's invasion of Iraq?
I'm not walking it back. I can't help it if you don't understand what I meant.
