The Middle East Revolution [2010-2011] Thread: I love baton - General

[QUOTE=Thom12255;27711401]How has Murbarak stayed in power for 30 years?[/QUOTE] Egypt under him gets 2 billion $ per year from the US

Finally the world reporting on this shit (somewhat)

The US is still not taking back their comments saying "Mubarak is not a dictator"

back to you after that comedy break (Hillary's Speech) does she really think we will allow mubarak or any of his dogs to stay in egypt ? anyway ,the people dont want to wait for mubarak's speech and now they are trying to take over the TV building

[QUOTE=Starpluck;27711567]The US is still not taking back their comments saying "Mubarak is not a dictator"[/QUOTE] Was that an official statement from the US, or just Biden's personal opinion?

o shit military

[QUOTE=Starpluck;27711567]The US is still not taking back their comments saying "Mubarak is not a dictator"[/QUOTE] Anything the US supports can't be evil in any way, shape or form :downs:

[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;27711607]o shit military[/QUOTE] Didn't you see? The people greeted them favourably, they showed some pics on the live stream. [url]http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/[/url]

Fucking hell. some retarded idiot on my facebook is posting on my Egypt posts. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oyntq.png[/IMG] Would I be correct saying the majority of news agencies are saying this same thing?

[QUOTE=Miskav;27711626]Anything the US supports can't be evil in any way, shape or form :downs:[/QUOTE] why did you take a strictly informative post and used it to make a provocative response?

[QUOTE=Killuah;27711665]why did you take a strictly informative post and used it to make a provocative response?[/QUOTE] How is me stating the US' view on foreign relations in any way provocative?

I like how "experts" told us nothing big would happen at these protests

I just noticed I posted in the news thread about egypt. [QUOTE=SHoGuNNeR;27711614]The live images on CNN are disturbing. This is truly disgusting. Fuck Mubarak. Fuck everyone who isn't behind the people 100%. Go Egypt! Take your country back. :love:[/QUOTE] But the US's statements are disappointing me, we should be behind democracy 100%. Fuck Mubarak.

Holy shit I have been lurking this thread since like page two and I am almost at a loss of words. My thoughts all go to the Egyptian people and I hope the corrupt government is brought to ruins so that the people can get all the basic human rights they should have. If my post seems like a shitty written piece of lump then I apologize, but I really don't know what to say.

haha. I wont be THAT mean since he is in one of my classes. He is a freaking sophomore though and knows shit about the world. He is one of those kids that follows Obama blindly just because "herp, hes better than Bush" I might just tell him off by saying to get his shit straight and that I've been following this entire situation since the start on the 25th. Its okay Larpar, a few people including myself are using horrible grammar in this. Its so exciting and emotional that we just want to post and not care about how gramatically correct we are. Believe me, when I first read through (THE WHOLE THREAD) this morning, I was speechless and wondered if this was actually even happening or just over exaggeration by the media... but hell... the media ain't even touching the surface.

When it says something like Latest Pictures, it's not live. Edit for stream link: [url]http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/[/url] Government television completely ignoring fires and revolution around it.

some are, some military officers have joined them but not the whole of the military.

They're trying to put out the van now for some-reason.

-snip-

Apparently military has joined the protesters! This shit is so cash.

Just said military TANKS have joined protesters

[QUOTE=Random94;27711875]From the looks of things the protests calmed down a little.[/QUOTE] False. They just aren't near the cameras.

[QUOTE=Random94;27711875]From the looks of things the protests calmed down a little.[/QUOTE] people have to sleep

have they? I had to run to the bathroom and came in and was under the impression that they might just be going there to defend because there was about 1000 protesters storming it.
