The Egyptian Unrest: A Special Report STRATFOR An in-depth report on the situation in Egypt from STRATFOR Global Intelligence. Things are very fluid there and it is hard to keep up with all of the news coming in. I will post anything that gives a good explanation of events and why things are happening. Please forgive me if I don't post the very latest information. It is hard for one little blogger to keep up!

One thing I will say is that we should all be very skeptical when we hear people call for Mubarak's overthrow. His overthrow would not be good for Egypt or for the rest of the world due to the huge power vacuum that would be left behind. He may be a dictator but he is better than the Taliban or any other radical Islamic group!    We mustn't be influenced by those who would tell us otherwise especially if they are from CAIR or any other Muslim Brotherhood group. If  Mubarak leaves, the door will be open for radical Islam to control the Middle East. Think you will feel good with the radical jihadists controlling all those lovely oil fields? I don't think so, especially since there is a ban on off shore drilling in this country!

Axelrod: President Obama Has “On Several Occasions Directly Confronted” Mubarak on Human Rights for the Past 2 Years “To Get Ahead of This” - Political Punch Ya gotta be kidding me. If anyone believes this I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.  If it is true then his efforts certainly weren't very fruitful.
