listening WMAL on the way in this AM.
Grandy and Brian were talking to Caroline Glick about her latest piece ....
Caroline basically said the world can no longer expect the USA to stand beside its allies, because Obama and Hillary thru President Hosni Mubarak under the bus so fast for some play on CNN.
they the Muslim Brotherhood was behind the riots, and has seen this as an opportunity (Obama in power, weak and bowing to everyone) to take over after what happened in Tunisia ...
that it is better to support the devil you know, then let the alternative in ....
as we have seen, when given free elections, Middle Eastern People do not adopt western style freedoms and democracy .... they elect Hamas and Hezbollah ....
so the question is;
do we keep the tyrant in power and support tyrants (remember what happened in Iran, the Shah got tossed and we got an Ayatollah and Muslim Fundies) or are we the beacon of freedom and let whoever gets in power, have power at our own detriment ... but at least we can sleep at night and look ourselves in the mirror in the morning shaving, knowing we are not in bed with the devil ....

Our World: Clueless in Washington
Does the US fail to understand what will happen to its strategic interests in the region if the Muslim Brotherhood is the power behind the throne of the next regime?
Certainly it is true that the regime is populated by old men. Mubarak is 82 years old. It is also true that his regime is corrupt and tyrannical. Since the Muslim Brotherhood spinoff Islamic Jihad terror group murdered Mubarak’s predecessor president Anwar Sadat in 1981, Egypt has been governed by emergency laws that ban democratic freedoms. Mubarak has consistently rejected US pressure to ease regime repression and enact liberal reforms in governance.
This reality has led many American commentators across the political spectrum to side enthusiastically with the rioters. A prestigious working group on Egypt formed in recent months by Middle East experts from Left and Right issued a statement over the weekend calling for the Obama administration to dump Mubarak and withdraw its support for the Egyptian regime. It recommended further that the administration force Mubarak to abdicate and his regime to fall by suspending all economic and military assistance to Egypt for the duration.
The blue ribbon panel’s recommendations were applauded by its members’ many friends across the political spectrum. For instance, the conservative Weekly Standard’s editor William Kristol praised the panel on Sunday and wrote, “It’s time for the US government to take an active role… to bring about a South Korea/Philippines/Chile-like transition in Egypt, from an American-supported dictatorship to an American-supported and popularly legitimate liberal democracy.”

When, due to US pressure, the Palestinians were given the opportunity to vote in open and free elections in 2006, they voted for Hamas and its totalitarian agenda. When due to US pressure, the Egyptians were given limited freedom to choose their legislators in 2005, where they could they elected the totalitarian Muslim Brotherhood to lead them.
so the question is;
do we keep the tyrant in power and support tyrants (remember what happened in Iran, the Shah got tossed and we got an Ayatollah and Muslim Fundies) or are we the beacon of freedom and let whoever gets in power, have power at our own detriment ... but at least we can sleep at night and look ourselves in the mirror in the morning shaving, knowing we are not in bed with the devil ....
According to a Pew opinion survey of Egyptians from June 2010, 59 percent said they back Islamists. Only 27% said they back modernizers. Half of Egyptians support Hamas. Thirty percent support Hizbullah and 20% support al Qaida. Moreover, 95% of them would welcome Islamic influence over their politics. When this preference is translated into actual government policy, it is clear that the Islam they support is the al Qaida Salafist version.
Eighty two percent of Egyptians support executing adulterers by stoning, 77% support whipping and cutting the hands off thieves. 84% support executing any Muslim who changes his religion.
When given the opportunity, the crowds on the street are not shy about showing what motivates them. They attack Mubarak and his new Vice President Omar Suleiman as American puppets and Zionist agents. The US, protesters told CNN’s Nick Robertson, is controlled by Israel. They hate and want to destroy Israel. That is why they hate Mubarak and Suleiman.
