US sending 20 more F-16s to Egypt, despite turmoil in Cairo | Fox News

Some wonder if this decision is "wise".....YA THINK!?!?

Instability in Egypt, where a newly-elected Islamic government teeters over an angry population, isn't enough to stop the U.S. from sending more than 20 F-16 fighter jets, as part of a $1 billion foreign aid package.

The first four jets are to be delivered to Egypt beginning Jan. 22, a source at the naval air base in Fort Worth, where the planes have been undergoing testing, told FoxNews.com. The North African nation already has a fleet of more than 200 of the planes and the latest shipment merely fulfills an order placed two years ago. But given the uncertainty in Cairo, some critics wonder if it is wise to be sending more top gun planes.

Protests rock Egypt after Morsi seizes more power...

...And we are surprised a dictator would seize more power....? REALLY?!

Morsi called "pharaoh" for seizing new powers

Morsi's decree exempting all his decisions from legal challenge until a new parliament was elected caused fury amongst his opponents on Friday who accused him of being the new Hosni Mubarak and hijacking the revolution.

The New Sharia Egypt.....

 The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt announced Wednesday, according to the Associated Press, that it was “committed to enshrining Islamic Shariah law as the main source of a new constitution, seeking to mollify ultraconservative Islamists who accuse the group of not advocating strongly enough for Islamic rule.”

Bozell Column: Reporters Say 'Libya, Schmibya' ......

 Four DEAD Americans.....

It’s amazing that liberals insisted during the Bush years that the president was the dimmest of dimwits, yet he was also responsible for every foreign-policy mistake. Now the geniuses Obama and Biden can claim complete ignorance when our diplomats die, and no worries.

In the Bush years, bad intelligence was pinned squarely on Bush as commander-in-chief. In the Obama years, bad intelligence somehow absolves the White House.

Behind the Benghazi cover-up ....

Why did the White House persist with the phony story of a protest against a video being the cause of Ambassador Stevens’ death, when they had to know there was no protest?

The most plausible explanation is that the truth — we were being hit with the worst terror attack since 9/11 in a city we saved — would have exposed Obama’s boasting about his Libya triumph and al-Qaida being “on the run” and “on the path to defeat” as absurd propaganda.

Al-Qaida is now in Libya, Mali, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan.

Mitt Romney Chokes Up Describing Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, Killed in Benghazi Attack .......

Mitt Romney is often described as too stiff, lacking any sense of humor, and “out of touch” with the “average” American. On Tuesday, however, the Republican nominee continued to show new depths to his character while giving a moving speech about one of the former Navy SEALs killed in the attack on our consulate in Benghazi last month.

CBS’ Lara Logan Speaks Out, Says Islamists Hate Us Now More Than Ever......

During a recent keynote address at the Better Government Association annual luncheon last Tuesday, Logan delivered what the Chicago Sun Times called “a provocative speech” to some 1,100 movers in government, politics, media, and the legal and corporate arenas. She explained that the Taliban, al Qaeda and its proxies haven’t gone away and are in fact re-energized and coming back in force. Logan also informed the crowd that a “lie” is being propagated by the American government.

Romney's Debate Win Opens Cracks in Obama Firewall......

On the split screen, we saw the same expression of irritation -- as if he smelled something really bad -- as we did when he faced tough questions from Fox News' Bret Baier, when he had to listen to Paul Ryan demolish his health care plan at the Blair House summit, when he was probed on his broken immigration promise by interviewers on Univision.

What we didn't see is the Obama who is supposedly fascinated by the details of public policy. Sans teleprompter, he repeated the talking points of his television ads and, when Romney responded sharply, he had nothing to fall back on.

We saw the president who found it fitting to jet off to campaign in Las Vegas the day after the first murder of a U.S. ambassador in 33 years.

Obama Quote Displayed in Cairo Airport: 'We must educate our children to become like young Egyptian people.....

Spooky on the surface.....

My husband and I just came back from the Middle East. As we arrived in Cairo, going down the mechanical stairs to go to the baggage claim area, there's this big poster which reads: "We must educate our children to become like young Egyptian people." President of the USA, Barack Obama

Email Shows State Department Rejecting Request of Security Team at US Embassy in Libya .......

Ya have to ask yourself...Do you feel safer than you did four years ago...?

 ABC News has obtained an internal State Department email from May 3, 2012, indicating that the State Department denied a request from the security team at the Embassy of Libya to retain a DC-3 airplane in the country to better conduct their duties.

US Consulate received repeated threats, had requested more security .....

Now imagine if you will....this happened under GWB....imagine the headlines from the Drive By Media....instead....Crickets....

“Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012,” Issa and Chaffetz wrote. “It was clearly never, as Administration officials once insisted, the result of a popular protest."

Benghazi debacle: Consulate bombed twice this year, requested extra security........

The Administration's only exertion regarding the 9/11/12 attack & the death of our people in Libya has been to...... blame Mitt Romney...a smoke screen and willing Drive By Media accomplices will create the perfect smoke screen.....

There’s no way that even the most biased media can continue covering for the utter incompetence of the Obama Administration. They got people killed in Libya, and they’ve been lying to the American people for weeks. Critical mass on this story has been achieved; cracks are appearing in the media embargo; and it’s now utterly laughable to thaw out the media action line from September 12, which held that Mitt Romney made some sort of horrible “gaffe” by criticizing the Administration’s conduct.

Egyptian President Warns World: 'We Will Not Allow' Insults to Islam .....

Try GBTV - doesn't matter if you like Glenn. "The Project" is a 2-part series he has produced that will chill you to the bone. It speaks volumes to this! He has a 14 day FREE trial - DO IT. For America....

 "We reject this. We cannot accept it," he said, speaking of insults to Islam. "And we will be the opponents of those who do this. We will not allow anyone to do this by word or deed."

The warning that "We will not allow anyone to do this" was spoken through a translator and did not appear in the prepared text of Morsi's speech.

Pakistan protester dies from smoke of burning American flag at anti-film rally ......

What goes around...comes around....Water seeks it's own level...or in this case....fire....

 In an apparent case of red, white and blue revenge, a Pakistani protester died yesterday after inhaling smoke from a burning American flag during an anti-US rally.

Abdullah Ismail succumbed at Mayo Hospital in Lahore a day after attending the fierce protest at the city’s Mall Road, where an estimated 10,000 people rallied.

Witnesses said Ismail had complained of feeling ill after breathing fumes from burning flags, Pakistan’s Express Tribune reported.

Palestine has no interest in establishing peace....Romney

2nd time today HE IS RIGHT! TELLING THE TRUTH!

"I'm torn by two perspectives in this regard," Romney said at a $50,000-per-plate fundraising dinner on May 17. "One is the one which I've had for some time, which is that the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish."

State Department Considering Talks to Transfer Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman to Egypt, Source Says.....

The Blind Sheikh is currently serving a life sentence in American prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but the newly-elected Islamist government in Egypt has been actively petitioning his release. Many have pinpointed a cause of last week‘s unrest in in the country to be protests over the Blind Sheikh’s release — not an anti-Muslim YouTube video.

Citing the handling of the current crisis in the Middle East, and the administration’s explanation that an anti-Islamic video is to blame, Beck warned that the administration may be trying to initiate a “Bubba effect.”

“If this is true…I believe this administration is trying to initiate a ‘Bubba effect,’” he explained. “That is, the average person turning against the government, collectively…because no one trusts them.”

REPORTS: No Live Ammo for Marines.......

Are they MAD????
The other side can kill, behead, denigrate our country and people in any manner, burn our flag, fly planes into buildings...and we don't give OUR MARINES LIVE AMMO????????

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”

Liz Cheney: Cairo, Benghazi and Obama Foreign Policy.....

Once again...the Cheney Family nails it!

In response to the attack in Cairo, diplomats there condemned not the attackers but those who "hurt the religious feelings of Muslims." The president appeared in the Rose Garden less than 24 hours later to condemn the Libya assault and failed even to mention the attack in Egypt. The message sent to radicals throughout the region: If you assault an American embassy but don't kill anyone, the U.S. president won't complain.

Egypt to take legal action in US against Prophet film makers......

So...this is their apology for killing four of our people? And...we also have a little thing called the Constitution and Freedom of Speech.....

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi asked the Egyptian embassy in Washington to take legal action in the United States against makers of a film attacking the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, the official state news agency said on Wednesday.



Morsi had requested the mission take "all legal measures", the MENA agency said, without giving further details on what that might involve. (Reuters)
