ElBaradei, (representing the Muslim Brotherhood) to Mubarak:
“LEAVE OR YOU’RE A DEAD MAN WALKING”
Originally, when the riots broke out in Egypt, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu was careful not to make statements about Egypt and sternly instructed his ministers to also refrain from commenting. Seeing the writing on the wall, later, they issued this subtle plea: “Israel is a democracy and supports the advance of liberal and democratic values in the Middle East. The advancement of those values is good for peace”.
Bibi understands, war is looming again and Israel is requesting international help.
Obama’s, veiled response, (hoping it would pass over the heads of American Christians who support Israel) was issued indirectly. Instead, the response, was issued directly, to Mubarak.
Basically it said: ‘Sorry Charlie; we want this to continue ….’ That’s not inconsistent with Obama’s attitude toward Israel! Nor, was it surprising.
Of course, Americans see it a bit differently – our amoral bedmate, Mubarak, is known to have been a brutal dictator, … a ‘conjugation’ that never should have happened, …. and in that respect, they support the downfall of Mubarak.
But now, Mubarak has cancer and the radical element there doesn’t want to wait, nor take the chance the brutality and economic repression will continue under Mubarak’s son.
Israel, of course, wants the international community to insist that any Egyptian government maintain the peace treaty with Israel.
As far as the UN, … or the U.S. is concerned, it may be veiled, hidden from the populace, but that’s not where this is leading! War is only a matter of time with the Muslim Brother hood in charge. It won’t come immediately; more preparation is needed this time ….
The fear is, as Netanyahu put it, … “that if extremist forces” (The Muslim Brotherhood or the Marxists) “are allowed to exploit democratic processes to come to power to advance anti-democratic goals – as has happened in Iran and elsewhere – the outcome will be bad for peace and bad for democracy”.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t go both ways; the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has vowed to annul the 1979 peace treaty with Israel, if elected, …. and it was the Muslim Brotherhood that assassinated Sadat, the one who made peace with Israel. Israel sees the writing on the wall …. ElBaradei, represents The Muslim Brotherhood.
All this, as demonstrations by jihadists, are breaking out in surrounding countries ….. Syria, Yemen, Jordon, Libya, Algeria, Bahrain, ….. all across the Muslim world.
Meanwhile, ostrich America worries only about it’s own problems – out of control spending, inflation, D.C. chaos and corruption, and the cost of their next visit to the gas pump. Netanyahu may speak well, and be loved by Americans, but he needs to learn, that America needs the straight truth and if he want’s to listen, ….. we need it accompanied by a 2 by 4, to the side of the head!
