Ignore the usual prattling of the ignorant legacy media, particularly their trumpeting of El Baradei’s threat to attack Israel, ’cause he ain’t likely to win election in Egypt, says Sandmonkey.
“The people don’t want someone who is … as unable to communicate with them as Baradei. Chances are, Egypt’s real next president will appear sometimes by late August/ early September, after [he has] been kicked and burned and faced a trial by fire unlike Egypt has ever seen.”
















I think it’s more likely that the next leader of Egypt – note I didn’t use the word “president” – will be one who will not just talk about attacking Israel. He will be one of those who will do it.
Itlooks like things will be real interesting in the not too distant future. Not only in the Fertile Crescent.
He’ll have to consider some tough realities, like no ammo resupply, no spare parts for his tanks or planes, because they’re all US-made and we will cut him off. Not to mention the fact that the Israelis will kick his ass.
My sympathies are with Sandmonkey, of course. However, I wish I were that optimistic about the outcome. I think jdallen is right, unfortunately.
