MSNBC BREAKING: American's wanting to leave Egypt must get to airport immediately.
I wonder if we know something no else knows.

2. I wonder if our 'ally' is playing hardball. Maybe he got The Call that we're
stopping funding?

15. Yeah - usually, but they may feel Mubarak is unpredictable. If so, with
good reason after laying down that "Poor little me" speech and then sending his goon squad out to massacre the dissidents.

I've been thinking that they're probably sitting there in the White House going "I don't fucking believe this!".

4. Yeah, I just heard that. What I heard was that all Americans were just warned to...
Edited on Wed Feb-02-11 10:27 PM by Poll_Blind
...leave Egypt immediately, without any specific explanation of how. I was listening to AJE and I didn't hear anything about the airport, but I might've missed that.

There are a LOT of Americans in Egypt who are stranded in various places.

6. There is going to be a bloodbath and a lot of people are going to blame us for greenlighting it
completely groundlessly, of course!

18. Very hard to tell...
At this point it could go into Versaille grounds or USSR.
