‘Leave Today’: Egyptian Opposition Leader ElBaradei Has Message for Mubarak

Leave Today: Egyptian Opposition Leader ElBaradei Has Message for Mubarak
Reuters:

Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei put pressure on the United States on Sunday to support calls for President Hosni Mubarak to step down, saying “life support to the dictator” must end.

ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace laureate for his work with the U.N. nuclear agency, said it was only a matter of time before Mubarak, who has ruled Egypt for three decades, stepped down. He urged President Barack Obama to take a stand.

“It is better for President Obama not to appear that he is the last one to say to President Mubarak, ‘It’s time for you to go,” he told CNN.

    .
    Obama will go down in history as the president who lost the middle east the way Carter lost Iran and Panama. As soon as he became president he ran over there to tell him he was their friend and figured if he read to them from the Koran, they’d love him. Like all leftists who just want to be liked, he failed to show any strength of will or character. He doesn’t get that most people (especially in the Middle East) respect strength and that his weakness is resulting in all these uprisings in Tunisia, Turkey, and now Egypt.

    There’s little that the United States can do to save its friends from the wrath of their citizens – and Personally I don‘t think we should interfere directly in other nations’ internal governments… nations get the governments they deserve (and yes, that includes the USA).

    But showing strength and showing the resolve to remain strong is not the same as interfering. The respect we earn through our strength can go a long way towards influencing other nations and certainly helps our allies. Our weakness leads the enemies of our allies to feel safe when attacking our allies.

    Muburack is NOT a ruler nor does he have a regime. He is an elected offcial who PUSHED for more open elections , and it was the Muslim Brotherhood that fought against them.
    Muburack was reelected the last time with 86 percent of the vote

    There is NO grass roots movement in Egypt. These people are a handufl of the Egyptian population, mostly Marxists , outright Communists and Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamic group bent on destroying Isreal
    ElBraradei is a well known anti zionist and anti Jewish. He is the man repsonsible for keepig the world at bay with his “expert opinion” while Iran built its nuclear bomb programme

    By using the weight of the mob to pressure Mubarak to leave with such unyielding demand of immediately, El Baradei is behaving like a reckless terrorist. A world impact change like this is not done in haste. He shows personal lust for power , how unfit he is for leadership, and that his dictatorship would be danger to the world. It also shows the weakness of the rebellion . El Baradei fears his coup will collapse if Mubarak can wait this out.

    Backing this guy for president of Egypt is a co-opt of what appears to be a real grass roots uprising that will turn into another Soros backed regime.

    It’s a nasty situation and quite frankly, I don’t know what the answer is. If Mubarak could go without the country falling into the hands of extremists, perhaps that would be the way to go. But I just don‘t know if that’s even a possibility? Jimmy Carter didn’t support the Iran against religious fanatics, what will Obama do…….punt?

    It seems to me that the puppetmaster(s) behind the scenes think that they can rewrite reality if they put enough like-minded Nobel Prize winning progressive socialists in positions of power. Then they can say of any dissenters who actually think for themselves that they MUST be wrong because every major country maintains their same “ideals”. Then they can get rich of the taxes of enslaved people all over the world, living in the same squalor.

    If the brotherhood get into power, we are all in deep trouble.. First possibility, they will take control of the Suez Canal and choke the fuel market. Americans the consumers will surly suffer. Next, the brotherhood and its Islamic Muslim allies will look to declare war on Israel without any interference. Unfortunately our anti Jewish president will conveniently turn his back, and will not support our friends militarily. Furthermore, as this being deemed a “crisis” Obama by executive order will put Cap & Trade into law as our only solution for salvation. Why do I feel this was a well thought-out plane? Has anybody seen Soros lately?

    Here os a little information that have found in doing research about Mohamed’s ties to George Soros and Zbigniew Brzezinsky, the other spooky dude. They are all linked through a Soros’ Open Society Institute organization called International Crisis Group, on George Soros serves on the board and executive committee, how interesting. Comrade Obama has ties to this organization through his campaign foreign policy advisor, Robert Malley. Malley’s father Simon Malley was a member of the Egyptian Communist Party and a close advisor to Yassar Arafat. Simon Malley was born in Cairo Egypt to Jewish Syrian parent but was anti Israel as his son Robert is. So it real strange that we elect a communist as President and all this violence and rioting starts up. I think they are personally link together. I advise everyone to do a internet search on the following Obama tells Egyptian Foreign Minister he is Muslim. Glenn is center bullseye about George Soros.

    Islam, a cult and culture of hate, does not understand democracy and requires a heavy hand to keep its followers under control. If Mubarak is unseated, you are blowing smoke up your own a** if you think a democracy will take its place. You read it here first- without Mubarak or his vice president to weild the heavy hand of a paternal. autocratic regime, Egypt will slide into the muslim mire of an islamic-fundamentalist theocratic regime. That is, from one who is very supportive of the US war on terror (or overseas contingency operation if you’re from Haaarvaard) and tolerant of Israel’s right to exist, to one who is complicit in terror operations and intent on Israel’s destruction. The only solution for Israel may very well be the use of tactical nuclear weapons in weilding its own heavy hand or it can simply submit to its own destruction- after all, they no longer have a friend in the White House!

    I think the main thing to remember is that none of these people can be trusted. Taking sides in this issue at this point in time would be very unwise. You can’t seem to win with the folks in the Middle East. One minute, your helping them rid themselves of the USSR and the next minute these same people are shooting at you. They do not want America as an ally. They simply want to use America to gain their own ends. Let them fight their own fights. They will never be free until their own people are willing to spend their own blood and treasure to gain their own freedom.

    It’s time for Obama to step in and show his support for the people of Eygpt. This Mohamed ElBaradei guy maybe bad news but if we don‘t step in and at least voice our support, some one else will, and they very well may not be our friend. To ignore the enslavement of people by there leaders is to empower there slave master. This notion of peace at any cost does have a price. To not act, is to act. And what, then, when they come for our …freedoms, will we be so committed to peace at any cost, we surrender our last bastion of freedom for peace. We hears calls for peace, people who say things like ‘better red then dead’ or ‘I’d rather live on my knees then die on my feet.’ And who will lend aid if we allow the people of the world to fall victim to the terrine WE allowed to take place. We must tell the enemies of this world there is a line you can not cross, a point in which you can not advance. To ensure freedom here, we must support any who desire it, and are willing to die for it. And not just for our sake, but our children sake. I see it as not policing the world, but freeing the world in interest of keeping the America experiment alive, because I believe man can rule himself. And being a leader isn’t easy, but that’s what America is, to me at least, and if we refuse to lead, who will? And what direction will they take us? America is WAY MORE then just a country, it’s an idea, a really damn good one.

    iraq wmd’s, iran nuclear, iraqi intelligence stated saddam hussein got 1 hour warning before searches at sights thought to have chemical weapons.

    then the muslim countries we know today did not exist as they are until after WWll because they were formed to devide between victorious nations like Great Britain, France, Belgium etc.
    syria…french palestine Great Britain etc.

    iraqi bathast party (sadam husseins party) were devout followers of fascims through hitler
    now i find out that the muslim brotherhood is also attached to hitler from clear back in WWll and have fascist roots.
    hillary clinton and the u.s. state dept. say they want a take over of a govt because less than .001 percent of the nation is protesting. Then when Glenn had 500,000 or more people show up why did obama stay in office.

    this is another attempt at radicals in our govt to take out the one country that has peace with Israel and is actually doing well compaired to other muslim nations.

      Let’s see if I was in the White House I’d be thinking that if I support the rebels and they lose, I’ll have lost an important ally. If I support the government and they lose, the new government will be our enemy when they could have been our friend. If I support the government and they win, it will destroy all other pro-democracy movements in the Muslim world, and make us look like complete hypocrites, and nobody anywhere will ever trust us. If I support the rebels and they win, but turn out to be worse than the previous government, I’ll lose an ally and I’ll look like a naïve chump.

    How is ElBaradei such a power-broker in Egypt? Is it because he worked for the UN? He is not a member of the Egyptian military, which is the REAL power in Egyptian politics. It seems to me that ElBaradei is just another “opportunist” trying to make a name for himself and place some kind of “leadership” crown on his own head.

      I have said previously that ElBaradei is not an radical Islamic extremist, but his support from the Muslim Brotherhood is very troubling. Egypt will hopefully form a coalition government and not be ruled by any one faction like the Muslim Brotherhood. We can only hope, but I’m not holding my breath. We could do a lot worse than Mubarak, but the people of Egypt can do much better. Another very important question is, how will a new government deal with Israel, with they honor the peace treaty ?
