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

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;27713067]those are some really good pictures especially the last 2. the last two could be used for some really cool propaganda or generally good for photo editing[/QUOTE] My favourites from [url=http://totallycoolpix.com/2011/01/the-egypt-protests/]this album[/url]

Could we maybe tone down on posting EXACTLY what we see on the live stream? Those of us actually interested in it are actually watching the live stream anyway.

[QUOTE=Killuah;27713078]I hope for minimal damakge to the historical monuments and artifacts of Egypt. Also when government buildings are destroyed I'm certain that many agencies having nothing to do with this get damaged too.[/QUOTE] many buildings were destroyed or looted, so some agencies buildings did get looted.

Washington are apparently advising travellers to postpone travel to Egypt

according to the video those armored vehicles that just drove through streets in cairo are the sort of special forces

In South America there is apparently a lot of rain, maybe you guys over there should get your umbrellas.

[I]i'm dutch, this is a joke.[/I]

5 people are dead overall in Cairo

Dammit Al Jazeera I don't care about the weather in India.

[QUOTE=TrulliLulli;27713151]according to the video those armored vehicles that just drove through streets in cairo are the sort of special forces[/QUOTE] Presidential guard I think. Driving to protect the national TV building.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;27712994]Why? They essentially lost that war?[/QUOTE] Negative ... they crushed Israel's army and restored the Egyptian lands that were occupied

[QUOTE=Pharaoh;27713204]Negative ... they crushed Israel's army and restored the Egyptian lands that were occupied[/QUOTE] You're voodooattack's brother right?

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;27713124]I'm sorry Random but I never realized if you were in Egypt? I thought you were but wasn't sure you were so close to the situation. The news anchor said: "The city is burning" and by the looks of it, it is.[/QUOTE] No im not in Egypt but i am an Arab and i am watching Arab news channels. they are providing excellent coverage of the situation.

[QUOTE=phaedon;27713031]Some photos in case you are interested.

I think he realizes Egypt is out of his control and he's probably on some carribean island by now with several billion dollars

I recommend [url]http://twitter.com/eacusa[/url] for a good source on twitter

My dad who is a Chief in the USAF just came home. I'm about to go down to dinner and talk to him about this. I just had a short one with him and he said its great that the people are taking it into their own hands. I'll come back and have to catch up on the subject. I hope I don't miss anything important or something very historically important.

[QUOTE=leach139;27713149]Washington are apparently advising travellers to postpone travel to Egypt[/QUOTE] That's kind of a no-brainer.

According to Al Jazeera the soldiers in Cairo are the Presidential Guard. Wouldn't they be loyal to Mubarak then?

[QUOTE=Pharaoh;27713204]Negative ... they crushed Israel's army and restored the Egyptian lands that were occupied[/QUOTE] Ummm, crushed wouldn't be the right word, considering Egypt took larger losses. And restored wouldn't be the right word either. The result of the 1973 war was essentially an Israeli victory, with only minor masses of land "restored" to Egypt, with Israel taking other parts.

Im watching this live right now, i'm seeing a burning building.

I feel so lucky that I live in Canada... These problems seem so alien to me.
