DVR--you have now LOST ALL CREDIBILITY! Any Dem who is willing to "echo" Sarah Palin needs to move to Alaska. Drill baby Drill. You are one scary guy. Did you forget about the oil spill already?
Do you know why we had to deal with that oil spill? Because decades and decades of people running things in Washington, D.C. pushed people off of the land for drilling, making deep sea exploration the next option. Then, people complain when the gas prices get too high, but they also complain when there's an accident.
GAFFNEY: The Muslim Brotherhood is the enemy Islamic group poses a clear and present danger to us in the Middle East By Frank J. Gaffney Jr. -The Washington Times6:03 p.m., Monday, January 31, 2011Muslim Brotherhood
As Egypt lurches toward the end of President Hosni Mubarak's regime, one way or another - by "an orderly transition to democratic rule" (as Hillary Rodham Clinton delicately puts it), through violent overthrow or simply through the demise of the ailing 82-year-old president - much is unclear. One thing that should not be is that the Muslim Brotherhood is our enemy, and whatever role it plays in Egypt's future will be to our detriment.
Such clarity is readily available because the Brotherhood (MB or, in Arabic, Ikhwan) has told us as much. Consider, for example, the mission statement for the MB found in one of its secret documents, titled "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America."
"The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
As a blue-ribbon group of national security experts convened by the Center for Security Policy, Team B II noted in its new best-seller "Shariah: The Threat to America,"the incompatibility of the Ikhwan's agenda with our interests has been evident from its inception: "The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Its express purpose was two-fold: (1) to implement Shariah worldwide, and (2) to re-establish the global Islamic State (caliphate). Therefore, al Qaeda and the MB have the same objectives. They differ only in the timing and tactics involved in realizing them."
We also know how the Brotherhood plans to pull off our destruction. Another MB document, this one undated, is called "Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan." It describes a five-installment program for achieving the triumph of Shariah - together with a status report on the realization of several of the phases' goals:
Phase 1: "Discreet and secret establishment of leadership."
Phase 2: "Phase of gradual appearance on the public scene and exercising and utilizing various public activities. [The MB] greatly succeeded in implementing this stage. It also succeeded in achieving a great deal of its important goals, such as infiltrating various sectors of the Government."
Phase 3: "Escalation phase, prior to conflict and confrontation with the rulers, through utilizing mass media. Currently in progress."
Phase 4: "Open public confrontation with the Government through exercising the political pressure approach. It is aggressively implementing the above-mentioned approach. Training on the use of weapons domestically and overseas in anticipation of zero-hour. It has noticeable activities in this regard."
Phase 5: "Seizing power to establish their Islamic Nation under which all parties and Islamic groups are united."
If any further evidence were needed of the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood, consider the comments on Oct. 6 by Mohamed Badie, the Ikhwan's virulent promoter of Shariah who was installed as its leader (Supreme Guide) last year. According to a translation provided by the indispensable Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Mr. Badie declared: "[Today, the United States] is withdrawing from Iraq, defeated and wounded, and it is on the verge of withdrawing from Afghanistan. [All] its warplanes, missiles and modern military technology were defeated by the will of the peoples, as long as [these peoples] insisted on resistance.

Muslim Brotherhood: ‘Prepare Egyptians for war with Israel' By YAAKOV LAPPIN 02/01/2011 02:00
A leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel, according to the Hebrew-language business newspaper Calcalist.
Muhammad Ghannem reportedly told Al- Alam that the Suez Canal should be closed immediately, and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” He added that “the people should be prepared for war against Israel,” saying the world should understand that “the Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.”
Ghannem praised Egyptian soldiers deployed by President Hosni Mubarak to Egyptian cities, saying they “would not kill their brothers.” He added that Washington was forced to abandon plans to help Mubarak stay in power after “seeing millions head for the streets.”..........................>>>>...............>>>>.................http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=206130
Secret shame of Egypt's army: Women protesters were forced to have 'virginity checks' after being arrested in Tahrir Square
Women arrested by the Egyptian police during protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square were subjected to forced 'virginity tests', according to Amnesty International. Eighteen demonstrators were detained after army officers cleared the square on March 9 at the end of weeks of protest. Amnesty today said that the women had been beaten, given electric shocks and then subjected to strip searches while being photographed by male soldiers. They were then given 'virginity checks' and threatened with prostitution charges if medics ruled they had had sex, according to the charity.
I read about this yesterday. It is disgusting. About eight years ago I was quite ill after surgery, (actually almost dead suddenly) My doctor's resident was a wonderful Egyptian man who exhuded great humanity. He was a Coptic Christian. He finally went back to Egypt to practice after being offered a partnership with my doc. The guy wanted to return to his family. My doc said he was the bet resident to have come through AMC in years. Brilliant, kind, gentle and totally patient-focused. Sad to think this could happen there.
