ElBaradei Says U.S. Should Tell Mubarak to Give Up Power in Egypt

Mr. ElBaradei's intentions may be good, but he could never be more wrong. The U.S. or any other nation for that matter has the right to tell any leader he needs to go, Egypet included.That's for him and his fellow citizenry to do.

Bill Morrison

McCain said that ElBaradei is no friend to the US ....this guy seems like a rank opportunist to me.McCain said that ElBaradei could be a figurehead for the Muslim Brotherhood and they would set up a government that would resemble Iran more than a democracy....funny how this article leaves out the McCain comments...Don't let the lefty newsmedia prop up this guy liberals in the US make up 20% of the population and they control a lot....they would ban free speech and have the government mandate anyting tht it wants...ie healthcare...ElBaradei would be worse than Mubarak...as McCain says El Baradei has hardly spent any time in Egypt.... he most likely is a puppet for the radicals

Uh ya might wanna take a look at who and what handpicks those "leaders" in the Middle East. And who and what yanks them out of those positions when they are no longer of value.

The Vatican has been at it for a LONG time, creating designs and havoc to gain control of the Middle East. (Read some of the really old reports from that area). The only traction the Vatican ever gained was violence, not a complete takeover except in some very small areas. It was, by the way, the Vatican who originally came up with the idea to relocated all the Jews to Israel -- and claim God wanted it to be so. Then somehow England and the USA got hitched to the Vatican agenda, and they all together began handpicking the "leadership" often deliberately picking goons for those positions. That tactic is never about good government for those people. It's only about the fact it's easier for the control freaks to get rid of a goon so they (England or the Vatican) can take ratchet control of the area.

It would be no surprise to discover the Vatican is playing a key role in what is happening in Egypt right now -- and England as well. Both seem to be hiding behind silence right now -- or diversions such as another "royal wedding" (that nobody cares about).

That entire Mubarak thing stank to high heaven from the get-go, and it still stinks of goons with hidden hands. Now it appears the Vatican and/or England is cleaning house in several Middle Eastern areas to prepare for the next set of handpicked goons they can control -- for a while at least. If you notice, they change their handpicked goons every so many years -- about the same time they decide their hands aren't bloody enough and also decide to change their underwear.

Follow the murders, assassinations and violence. It's always the same stinking agenda goons who happen to be very dangerous control freaks.

The goons always have the same message -- do as I say or you die.

Mubarak never should have been in a position of authority and it appears the hidden hands are done with another creep. England seems to think only they have some sort of superior knowledge of what is best for people. Noting the mess in England that has been very longterm, they might want to reconsider their nutty ideas. Herding their population into cities from rural areas turned out not to be such a good idea. (Did ya get that USA authorities????).

I suppose England and the Vatican would also create havoc in the USA should we refuse to play the role of their junkyard dog any more.

Egypt is a soverin country. We can't demand anything. It would be nice if everyone in the world would stop requireing us to solve their problems

I would agree, we were born of revolution and absent of violence this has been, to this point a true peoples revolution,the time has come for us to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of the revoluion. Mubarek needs to leave.

I know that Muslims are not all Islamic Extremists but there is a lot of influence that comes from those extremists which tells me that a Muslim Brotherhood needs to be carefully watched from a safe striking distance in case things go bad for U.S, and Western interests and for the people of Egypt. This one will have to be handled with kid gloves, experience and finesse, and from an objective view point that obviously this cannot provide.

alpcoutinho: “…you have tugs and extreme shiites which are not aftraid to kill or to die, like in Iran.”

I might add like in Iraq and Afghanistan also. In fact, shortly after we leave those countries they will become Islamic Law governments. I’m not anti-military (I worked with our military for 40 years and love our patriotic men and women), but my question is can anyone in this country use logic and common sense? Like Vietnam, if we are going to leave sooner or later without winning, why not leave now and save thousands of American lives. Most certainly we have a dilemma – we cannot occupy the Middle East forever and if we “abandon” those countries, most will go fundamentalist; if we stay there we will go bankrupt! Simple logic says if we leave the Middle East, Muslims will be fighting among themselves so the fundamentalist don’t really win, but if we go bankrupt they do. Osama’s plan was never to conquer the U.S.A., it was to bankrupt us just like the Soviet Union was bankrupted.

Our most logical move right now is to get out of the Middle East, create an anti-terrorism unit of SOFs, Rangers, GOOD CIA, etc. to work with Mossad and other country’s counter terrorist groups -- to kill terrorist anywhere in the world who are plotting against free countries. Instead of “nation building,” we need to go back to our founding fathers' notion of staying out of other country’s problems and protecting our homeland.

Anyone who has taken a close, objective look at our social programs knows that the financial problems caused by these programs will be in the future (SS in 2050). ObamaCare, notwithstanding, we are on the verge of bankruptcy because we must be the “Policemen for the World.” Close down the Dept of Homeland Security and create the terrorist killing machine mentioned above; bring our troops home from all over the world (750 military bases overseas alone); stop buying exotic military-gear we don’t need to fight guerrillas; cancel stupid 30 year projects like Star Wars that still don’t work; forget the F-22 that we don’t need and use all the savings to protect our country from rag-tag terrorists, reduce our debt and take care of OUR CITIZENS. How about it Obama??

Without the military backing any government, there is no future for any attempt of a more "participative" society in Egypt, with or without Mubarak, because on the other side you have tugs and extreme shiites which are not aftraid to kill or to die, like in Iran. Mubarak is not such a bad guy.
Civil issues are and should be the main issues of the 21 century.
Religions is still playing a major role in our societies and that should be ended.
If Muslims and catholics and other religion followers would know a little bit more about what is around us and which they cannot see, they would be more, much more wise, and civil issues could then be dealt with in a completely diferent setting, because Humans would be much more rational that they are now.

Egypt is YOUR problem___everyone of you, because all the oil in the middle east goes through the Suez Canal inside Egypt. If we end up paying $5.00 for a gallon of gasoline___you will lean fast how much it is YOUR problem.
President Mubarak has been a steadfast supporter of US policy for he past 30 years. Turning our back and allowing Egypt to fall to Islamic Radicals would be a huge mistake. We have this mess with Iran today only because the former Shah of Iran who supported the USA fell to radicals 30 years ago.

It"s a perfect time for us to stop aid, see what happenns, then open up negotiations with the new government. We have seen in the past money doesn't make friends, they hate us anyway, so, the people of Egypt could go into the stone age or choose the light, meanwhile, that year of aid money could go to our southern border for fences and weapons.
