If true, so much for not "meddling" in other countries uprisings.

Egypt protests: America's secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising[/quote]Egypt protests: America's secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising

"The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011."

Brother Baldy!?!?!?!

One would think that a Conk would like it that official Obama policy is such that we support revolution.

All a Cap'n can say is, "WTF, dude?"

Support revolution for revolution's sake?

All I am saying is where was this so-called "support" 18 months ago in Iran? What happened in Iran was a pro-western, anti Islamofascist uprising. Egypt is much more risky in that sense. If Mubarek is toppled, it's a tossup between the radicalized Muslim Brotherhood and the more moderate pro western sects, and my money (unfortunately) will be on the radicals.

Besides, don't get your skidmark stained panties in a wad. I didn't say anything negative about our involvement in the uprising. We're still in a holding pattern as far as I'm concerned. Don't you know what the neutral emoticon ( ) means?

Turns out, Wikileaks is a much more affordable way to overthrow autocratic regimes.

Cap'n...there you go again...giving Obama praise for something that originated under Bush. Tell me, when was Obama President in 2008 when this whole thing was first set up?

Kudos for Obama for not crashing the whole project...after all, he bashed Bush for his interference in, and policies towards, Arab nations.

Seems as though Obama actually likes, and is continuing, a lot of what Bush was doing.

Change what?

The crazies always have a way to co-opt popular uprisings. There is a reason Egypt detained several senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders once the protests started even though the MB didn't start them.

This ain't Bush's fault, it ain't Obama's, either.

It's just more of the bitter fruit that is the "legacy" of Ronald Reagan and his criminal Conk handlers. Dude's dead, thankfully, but we'll be gagging on that shit for another hundred years.

Tough week for you if you really mean what you say about Reagan with all the moonbats masquerading a journalists saying all week that Obama is the new Reagan.

Times Feb cover

Hopefully no one learned anything from Reagan.

Obama hasn't

Here is the reverse of the Time cover

They both spent their way out of recession while growing the size of government. Reagan slashed taxes, Obama has kept them low. Like Reagan, Obama is a charismatic orator who's rhetoric often pleases the base even if some of his actions are contrary.

I know it doesn't fit the conk mythology of Obama the liberal socialist, but there are some strong similarities. Obama is vying with Clinton for the best Republican President we've had since Ronnie.
