Egypt

[Nascar1966]

Wow reporters getting attacked for no reason. Way to go Egypt. This country should pull all of our people out of there including diplomats. Once this is all over im sure Obama will give Egypt money to rebuild. Pretty much this is turning into a smaller version of Iraq.

The people of Egypt have been very non-violent through out this. They are not a violent people, generally. The army, which is conscription, has been noticably, and admirably, non-violent, too.

It's Mubariks police force and supporters that have brought this latest violence overnight, and it's they who are attacking the journalists.

They are still being attacked. I could care less about who is to blame. Our people need to get out of there. If the Egyptians want to destroy thier country let them. Im sure Obama will Egypt money to rebuilt even though this country doesn't have the money to send them.

Let's not let any nuance or detail get in the way of your preconceived, broadly generalized ideas. Got it.

It's reported the news media's live feed of the square was cut late this afternoon. With the attacks upon, and rounding up of, the international journalists, people are starting to get afraid Mubarik has blocked witness by the world, and is going to set the police force upon killing the protesters,

I do give the people of Egypt credit, however - they didn't hurt the animals as they beat the crap out of their riders. Frankly, I've been surprised how non-violent it's been so far, but looks like Mubarik wants to change that. The army needs to escort him away.

where's the video of Anderson Cooper getting punched? Saw him last night live and who punched him? Pre-school girls? No marks whatsoever? I call complete BS or *****!

I saw Anderson throw a bitch slap with the limp left and nothing else? Huffington took too long (bad server?) but on youtube give me the times when he got hit? He also said he had a couple escorts yet it seems there were ar least a dozen in crossing guard outfits assisting. Again I call BS. and we are by the turn and at the river.

Why did you bother to watch it? It's not like watching what happened was going to change your already made-up mind about what happened

I guess all the rest of the journalists are lying, too?

For those that are actually worried about what Mubarik is doing to international journalists, it's reported Brian Williams and Katie Couric left Egypt late today for safety fear. ABC producer threatened with beheading. Here's more on journalist crackdowns. Al Jazeera journalist missing.

Christian Amanpour is going to have a 1 hour special on Nightline ABC tonight, interview with Mubarik.

Wash. Post, NY Times, Canada's Globe & Mail reporters arrested; mobs clashed w/ CNN IBN, NPR, Time.

Fox News foreign correspondent Greg Patlok and producer Olaf Wiig were badly beaten. As their colleague John Roberts described it:

They were forced to leave their position when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at it, a large fire erupted. They were forced to flee. They ran out and ran right into the pro Mubarak crowd and were severely beaten and had to be taken to the hospital, spent the night in the hospital. The extent of their injuries was fairly grave, however, they have been released from the hospital.

I guess the television crew person with broken jaw wasn't caused by a violent attack. Whether it was a Mubarek supporter or not it was still a form of violence by an Egyptian person. I guess you are watching something different than what is show on the net and television.

I forgot that you judge millions of people by the actions of one or two. And you just ignore stuff I've written if it doesn't suit your purpose.

Nascar, those were Mubarek supporters and police sent by the government to start trouble. Did you see what happened in the square in the past 24 hours at the huge rally? Nothing. Very peaceful. The army and the citizens set up barriers, people were frisked and ID's checked before they were let in, and it was fine.

Meanwhile, a group of yelling, screaming Murbarik supporters trying to start trouble was kept away from there by the army.

Don't worry, Nascar, Dell says Anderson Cooper didn't really get hurt, that was "bs"

He didn't. Saw the tape last night. Anderson has a weaker slap/limp wrist than Obama's throwing arm.

Where have I said that Egyptian people as a whole are violent? You want to put words in my mouth go right ahead. Won't be the first time some one did it.

Guess you're wrong again unless Mubarik was going after his own guy

Meanwhile the response from the WH? The 'stick your head in the sand' no comment.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs declined to address the assassination reports when asked earlier by Fox News.

"I'm not going to ... get into that question," Gibbs said.

Why do you have such an issue with the WH not commenting ? BFnD

I’d like to know what the White House’s position is. You know since they have been so admiring of the peacefulness of the protesters, I wonder whether that admiration continues with the foiled plans of the assassination of the newly appointed VP and killing of the two bodyguards.

BTW I’d really like a comment and the thought process behind releasing Britain’s Nuke secrets to the Russians as alleged by wikileaks. I’m hoping the report is false but if it is true we’re in deeper shiat with this guy than I could have ever imagined.

now if you could fix the quote fiasco in this thread then you'll have all the answers to life's problems.

Mubarik will speak to the nation within the next hour. Expected to resign, of course. The army has taken control of the country.

No dah. BTW it is Mubarak not Mubarik. Hope the rumor that the Muslim Brotherhood won't be taking over. Supposedly they sponsor terorism. Go figure. If that happens im sure our brilliant leader will still send aid to Egypt and help rebuild the country.

What is unique about you, Nascar, is that you form your opinions before events even happen, and the subsequent reality doesn't interfer much

Al Quaeda hates the Muslim Brotherhood because they call for non-violence. Just sayin'.

But no, from what most have said, the Muslim Brotherhood won't be taking over. They work on a community level, not a leadership level.
