Just Breaking: Explosions in Egypt

[leftyladyfrommo]

Just breaking over over on Reuters. I don't think they know just what or how bad yet.

Also - many more bombs in Baghdad. I don't know how many killed by lots of people injured.

How do those poor people even manage to live from day to day?

4. damn, that is just breaking now

It doensn't sound good from the initial report :(

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. I went out on Egyptian News and can't find anything yet.

Will try again.

[Mr_Spock]

2. Sucks to live there

We can thank Bush for ensuring that people are as angry as possible - it keeps them motivated :(

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. Sounds like they hit another tourist area.

Bastards.

If they are going to attack why can't they at least attack the military and not innocent civilians.

How on earth do you justify such things.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

24. Islamist thinking on this matter is not confused at all.

If you support anyone but them, killing you is justifiable.

[leftyladyfrommo]

36. al jazeera is picking it up now. No reports of dead but 20

ambulances are in route.

[OzarkDem]

3. Gearing up to attack Iran?

This is all so "deja vu".

[Zynx]

15. No, probably Muslim Brotherhood. Those are bad dudes.

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. They seem to be the bad guys in Egypt. Do you know

what they are about? Are they fundamentalists?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

21. Oh yes, they're fundamentalists.

That's where Zawahiri got his start.

[leftyladyfrommo]

25. Are they like the Iraqi fundamentalists?

Super conservative and violent. Are they religious or just violent?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

26. They are religious and violent and super-conservative.

The same tired claptrap about Muslims being corrupted by the West.

[RethugAssKicker]

5. Just a matter of time ... before it starts happening here.

Thanks to the Regressives.

[endarkenment]

14. I doubt that.

There really is no major domestic terror threat, other than from the rightwing nutcase brigades like those that spawned Timmy McVeigh & friends. Of course our crime family occupying the white house might mihop a threat, but that is a different story.

6. How do Iraqis manage?

There may be hundreds of thousands dead and injured, entire cities flattened, DU contamination everywhere, lawlessness and civil strife, broken economy, non-functioning infrastructure, but--

hey, at LEAST they don't have Saddam pushing them around!

And here at home-- as awful as things are-- at least we don't have gay marriage!

9. Well really. Those people just don't know how good they have

it, do they.?

I would be in a mental institution if I had to live under that kind of stress every day. Really. I would be curled up in the back of a closet with clothes pulled over my head.

[Vexatious Ape]

8. more of that good old freedom on the march.

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. At least Egypt seems to catch their bad guys

They behead them but what the hey? Its that old eye for eye stuff.

[endarkenment]

16. Not really.

it is more like they round up a bunch of 'suspects' and slaughter them after a bit of torture and a farce of a trial. There is no reason to think that they actually manage to catch the perpetrators.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. Well, there's that aspect of it, too.

It is pretty hard to know who is actually beheaded. It could be some poor homeless guy that they just hang the label on.

Trouble is its very hard to know. Most of their News is really censored.

[enigma000]

10. Buddhists? n/t

[Warpy]

12. NONONONO

I hope Onager checks in. He's in Alexandria right now, and that's where the crazy people were fighting the Coptic Christians.

[moc]

17. AAR news says at least 100 dead.

:cry:

[Renew Deal]

22. Where? Egypt or Iraq?

[moc]

28. Egypt

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. Nothing on Al Jazeera yet.

They are all over the Irai bombings today.

15 dead. 100 wounded.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. Al Jazeera has it now. But it's the same rreport as Reuters.

Its a tourist town.

I guess there is a five day holiday there right now.

[leftyladyfrommo]

27. Interesting: Egypt Daily News reported that a group of

22 terrorists were captured - just a couple of days ago- that were planning on bombing stuff around Cairo. Big headline that the Plot was Thwarted.

Guess they didn't quite get them all.

[rman]

37. I'm wondering if they got the patsies,

but they got them to early?

[leftyladyfrommo]

29. Now the AP Wire has it - 100 wounded

[xchrom]

30. bushco's wished for instability is starting to spread.

mission accomplished1

[leftyladyfrommo]

32. I think it has spread just about everywhere now.

Bombers are everywhere in the Middle east and all the other Muslim countries.

[patdem]

31. My first thought was about a DU'er I read about earlier today 'onager'

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=214x63870

I hope he is okay....sounds like a dangerous place right about now...!

[leftyladyfrommo]

34. I wouldn't want to visit there.

I'll just get travel tapes, turn the heat way up and blow some sand around.

[patdem]

35. Well, seems you will have to get some fire crakers for the TOTAL

effect.
