1. Egypt
Jorge el judio ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (02.07.11)
ElBaradei will move Egypt from the actual situation to a worse one. He failed stopping Iran in his role of nuclear inspector. Why do we think the he is going to improve the Egyptian situation?
2. "Nobel peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei"?!
michael redbourn ,   arad israel   (02.07.11)
"Nobel peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei". He joined Arafat as a peace activist whilst aiding Iran to develop weapons of mass destruction. http://tinyurl.com/ElBaradei-a-muslim Did the world (the Europeans?) go crazy?
3. forked tongue
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.07.11)
The fools at the helm of the U.S. Titanic say one thing and then change their confused minds the next day. Why is it that Israel follows and trusts such idiots for anything let alone peace and security ?
4. After Dum-Bah-Mah broke the eggs
Sergio ,   Italy   (02.07.11)
now someone is trying to put them back into the shell...

Disaster for USA
6. Good morning america
Golan ,   Modiin, Israel   (02.07.11)
obama should go home.
7. Translation: US has to have more time to install new puppet
Nour ,   One-State   (02.07.11)
Wishful thinking Hillary. No amount of foot-dragging can curtail the uprooting of massive corruption in Egypt, or the mortgaging of its sovereignty! Game over, in case you haven't noticed already!
8. Mubarak stay!
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.07.11)
Shame on the people of Egypt! They have brought only grief upon their leader, after all he did for them over the past 30 years. He brought the country back up to its feet after Sadat was killed. When he's finally gone Egyptians will see that they made a big mistake
9. American Blunders
Roy ,   Miami   (02.07.11)
Hard to think that Obama and his team know to manage ANY political situation; 1. Obama appears on TV- Mobarak MUST LEAVE NOW. 2.Mobarak reacts on TV.; Obama , dont mess with me and Egypt. I will do as I like. 3. Obama re appears; Mobarak should leave sometime on the future! 4. Mobarak stays on. 5. Obama, Muslim Brotherhood (it is not a Hard Rock group) are not a big faction in Egypt and they are quite harmless. (I could go on with the story, but you know the rest anyway) This is a Greek tragedy enacted by a stupid administration who does not learn from history- How the Us lost Iran and the Shah- and does not know how to act to defend the American interests in the region. Where was Obama in the Iranian unrest? Why did he act like a wimp. Dont the Iranian people deserve freedom as much as Egyptians? The Middle east and the world will not listen to America if Obama continues with his stupid decisions. The march of folly has begun.
10. What will Obama do
David ,   Chicago   (02.07.11)
.....If Mobarak stays? He will surely not be a friend of America. Guess What Israel will do when Obama asks Bibi to stop building in Judea Samaria and jerusalem? What will Iran do when the US asks them to stop their nuclear bomb effort? They will just say; (sorry for the expression) Go F##K yourself. Obama, please go home before hell breaks out in the world. Alfred J Neumann (of Mad magazine) could be better than you.
11. WikiLeaks: Omar Suleiman demonizes Muslim Brotherhood
observer   (02.07.11)
WikiLeaks has reported that the former Egyptian intelligence chief accused the Brotherhood of spawning armed extremists and warned in 2008 that if Iran ever backed the banned Islamist group, Tehran would become “our enemy” Mubarak, in an ABC interview on Thursday, blamed the Brotherhood for violence that erupted on Wednesday during protests in Cairo's central Tahrir Square. Independent witnesses said Mubarak supporters launched the attacks. Suleiman, then Mubarak's top spymaster, was speaking to FBI Director Robert Mueller, who was visiting Cairo in February 2006, the 2006 told Mueller that the Brotherhood was "neither a religious organization, nor a social organization, nor a political party, but a combination of all three. Soliman termed the MB's recent success in the parliamentary elections, 2005, as 'unfortunate', adding his view that although the group was technically illegal, existing Egyptian laws were insufficient to keep the MB in check. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/06/omar-suleiman-muslim-brotherhood_n_819341.html

Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.07.11)
give their children Democracy and a political voice. Now they are driving the family car at all hours of the night to the nearest club.....where they swerve in drunk after their new found freedom. Just forget school.....that would be like being locked up as a subversive in and Egyptian Jail. Shoplifting is optional for the kids. The government has given them unmitigated powers to decide if they need to steal some new outfits for the night clubs. Lets give all the Sharia Law wanta bees the power of every country. Enslave the whole world Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Give the theocratic nuts the right to slaughter us all. Democracy is the way. I think Hitler used a lot of Democracy when he and his cabinet voted to kill everyone in concentration camps.
13. The First Sign of Intelligence from the U.S.
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.07.11)
To bad we had follow the lead of the Italian leader who was first to understand this publicly. Now we'll always have the Morons who seek to falsely portray this as the U.S. needing more time to install what they call puppets. That's their propaganda trick to fool the people into believing this chaos is better for them, it isn't. But in actuality it's the smart move. As most people know, it's rapid transition that can lead to chaos. But to the ignorant, or those with a hidden agenda, to make Egypt a fundamentalist Islamic government, they want a quick chaotic transition. It's better to hide their evil intentions for Egypt. I may be wrong, but I don't think the Egyptian people, if polled, with specific questions about less freedoms and no Democracy, with a strict religious police department enforcing draconian laws, would opt for that. Mubarak is gone and he knows it. So the protesters accomplished their goal. It's time to go home and let things go back to normal. The transition has begun, you won, are you guys and gals to stupid to know when you've won? Or will destroying the economy even more suit you? Would creating higher unemployment benefit your country? Of course not, so go home and savior your victory, good job, well done. Now be smart enough to know when to stop.

George ,   Egypt, Cairo   (02.07.11)
Mubarak has to get out sooner than later. He is a thief, anti democracy, corrpted the country with a group of bussiness men who used the regime to benefit financially, forged elections, banned parties, The Egyptians said their WORD and not upto the US regime to decide or dictate, WE dont need the USAID. We need freedom muh more than jobs.

16. Americans Trying To Line Up Next Sock Puppet
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.07.11)
This Egyptian general Suleiman is the man the Americans want to have complete control of the military before any election. He's just another US lackey who will do the bidding of the US and Israel. he's nothing more than another Shah of Iran. Just remember what happened to the real Shah and who came to power afterwards.

80 billion dollars he stole from U.S. taxpayers and has in bank accounts outside of Egypt.
19. Salma & Nour
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.07.11)
1) Nour, our not bright light, it doesn't matter who heads the next Egyptian Government, it will still be led by a band of thieves who have only their own interests at heart Need I remind you, you still haven't been able to come up with a single Arab DEMOCRACY that can be used as an example 2) Salma, have you finally decided if you're just speaking for yourself or are still pretending to speak for ill informed masses ? I combined the post to address both of you, since two half-wits still don't make a whole

Rivkah   (02.08.11)
airports cause can cancer, cataracts, tear apart DNA helix's, mutate cells and sterilize both males and females. Who flies the most: White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant males. The GMO foods causes the third generation to be sterile that eats them. The back scatter x-rays and terahertz radiation scanners at airports are 2000 times what is admitted. It is equivalent to the radiation of a CT scan or a dirty nuke bomb. That is according to experts at MIT and the University of California. The TSA child molesters and sterilizers number 67,000 at airports with prisons at hub airports that have only staff at them. Two years ago, there were 200 TSA agents. An army of perverts molesting children and women and men has been formed that needs to be disbanded. The full body scanners profit former HSA officials who sell them. Genocide of White America is happening now. With 2300 Muslim TSA scanners who can turn up the radiation on Jews and anyone they choose to, as can all the other TSA scanners who are Black sterilizing Whites or Whites sterilizing and inducing cancer in Blacks, it is a system that must be stopped. All those TSA agents should be border patrol guards protecting America's borders from invasion. Obama and Clinton are village idiots. Impeach them both. Now.
22. Shameful beyond words. Obama tried to push through the
Harry Wright ,   UK   (02.08.11)
Islamic agenda quickly before anyone had time to even think far less express ideas about about Mubarak's exit "now". Mubarak showed him who was the cook and who was the chef. All the ingredients were there - the massive crowds, that snake ElBaredei waiting in the wings to fill the void, the MBro keeping a low profile, the cause (democracy and freedom), the bullying and threats to withdraw aid. So what happened? Why is the cook looking like an idiot? He should be fired. No one should have any further doubts that an Islamic president is occupying the White House who sounds like Erdogan demanding an apology from Israel.
