Israel NEXT hotspot in EGYPT?
Guardian: Reports on a suspected terrorists explosion at a Gas Terminal that provides gas to Israel. This is the downside to the popular revolt in Egypt folks, under President Mubarak the extreme Islamic elements in Egypt were never allowed to become a major threat to Egypt or the peace deal with Israel, now VP Suleiman wants to talk to the Muslim Brotherhood, from the NYT it seems that the Obama Administration has gone mad and wants religious parties in the new government. If US was to lose Egypt as an ally President Obama would be accused by his political opponents of losing Egypt to Iran. In the late 1940s the Democrats faced the charge that they has lost China, the Democrats have a weak spot when it comes to National Security, POTUS can not afford to morph in to Jimmy Carter for his sake and for the sake of the Middle East.
Mexican Stand off in Egypt
The New York Times: Reports that President Obama supports the plan for Vice - President of Egypt General Suleiman to take over from President Mubarak, while developing a road map for Democracy in Egypt. At present you have the Army on the fence, the Vice - President who is trying to avoid getting killed by God who knows, you have a President who is as stubborn as a mule. It seems from reports that the Government of Egypt wants Egypt back in business on Sunday, the problem is the protesters in Liberation Square, the Army has asked them to move as to get Cairo back to its routine but they are as stubborn as Mubarak. A Country cant come to a standstill, the Army has to tell the protesters they are getting what they want, but it’s a process not a sprint, they have to go home and become part of the political process, otherwise all the concessions could become worthless if Egypt falls apart.
Death in Afghanistan
MOD: Reports that a British Soldier died yesterday in Afghanistan due to an accident, the Soldier was from the “ 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment ”.
