Can I say - Nuke ‘em til they glow? It’s going to end up that way, eventually, as the world is on a straight pathway to WWIII.
Nah, don’t waste the money. Just embargo and blockade them, since it’s not worth it to put up 8000 miles of barbed wire fence. Eventually they’ll run out of bullets. Egypt is still part of Africa, so everything Kim DuToit wrote about the one applies to the other. No foreign aid, no tourist dollars ... they’ll collapse on their own inside 5 years.
Call it the 11th plague.
Oh, and far be it for me to doubt the veracity of the press, but I think I have to call BS on the “protestors PUSHED the truck off the bridge” meme.
Look at the pictures. The railing is already gone. While you can see that each section of railing is bolted to the side of the bridge with at least 5 posts which each have 4 massive bolts, the railing is not falling with the truck, nor is it seen on the lower road in the next picture as the truck falls. It doesn’t show up until 3 pictures later, in nice neat sections. Thrown over later? Thus the protestors unbolted the thing in advance; they planned an ambush. And while it is possible that enough people could push a hefty vehicle like that up and over a curb and off the side, it is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE for them to do that while at the same time knocking down a streetlight pole. And you can see the pole going over the side with the truck with concrete dust billowing out from it’s base plate. It takes a BIG impact to do that.
The truck swerved. And then DROVE off the bridge. I can not say if this was because the protestors had shot the driver and he lost control, or if the guy was a bit humanitarian and reflexively spun the wheel to avoid running someone over. Either way, the soldiers in that truck are all dead, which is unfortunate. But this is what happens during a civil war, and that’s what’s going on in Egypt right now.
Egypt is in a fight for it’s life against the green hordes of jihad. Morsi may have been fairly elected, but the guy is as much a terrorist as the muslim brotherhood he sided with. I’m no fan of military juntas, but I say let the army kill them all.
The protestors could have pushed the truck over the side with another vehicle, but that would have shown up in the pictures.
So I’m not saying this was staged, like so many other photo ops from that corner of the world, but it was a bit misreported.
Looks a little like one of the armored vehicles DHS purchased...just sayin’.
All because one side or the other argue as to how to properly sing/chant The Muslim National Anthem™:
الجميع يمارس الجنس مع بعقب!
بعقب! بعقب! بعقب اللعنة!
looks like Drew had things right. Again.
