Egypt unrest

[Vedubin01]

11:06pm Cairo neighborhoods are being policed by local residents wielding kitchen knives and hunting rifles, after the military called for civilians to protect their own property.

No government protection.... and left to defend their own. I hope they did not put all their trust into their gov. like many do here!

Aside from chatter on HAM, I'm not sure of many other options.

PM me a link, I'm interested in the read if it's not a member only forum.

Ive been following another thread in another forum about this subject. I wish I knew more about how this stuff worked. Some are saying you can still get out with a dial up connection, but if they take out the pots then that option is also off. Others are talking about HAM Radio internet as well, but jamming could disrupt that option.

I would like to hear from George or those in the know if this could really be done here and if so what options would someone have to get around it.

...no. Read a book or two.

....uh yes.....


Where were the Egyptian planes hit? In the air...no. On the ground...yes....were they stored on Israel land ...no. Regardless of the economic threat Israel was under they struck first, that is a fact jack.

Don't you just love how every time someone posts a legitimate fact or statement joshh just replies with a completely rhetorical and useless sentence? The poor douchebag doesn't have the slightest clue about how the world works so he lashes out at liberals and whatever else he can find in order to make himself feel validated. I'd sure like to see him back up a single one of his tin-foil-hat statements.

Anyone: 'Hey joshh, i have a reputable source of facts to back up my ideas. Here they are in detail. What do you have?

Joshh: 'fucking liberal scum lol'

Funny how you put "reputable" in quotes. Nothing is reputable to you.

I've backed up plenty but I can't seem to overcome your blinders. No matter what I post you're going to ignore....lol. Tell me how the world works! "Hey I'm CorvallisBMW. I'm fresh out of college and I know that there are no bad people out there in the world. It's all rainbows and lollipops. Obama is here to save the world. YEEFUCKING HA!"
Your as bad as the Bush lovers.

Your real problem is if the words aren't EXACTLY what I said you put the blinders on. Just like Obama's health care bill having death panels. I can show you plenty of evidence but because your majesty Obama doesn't say THE EXACT WORDS, you ignore it.....LMFAO. But he sure does dance around the idea you and your family are the last ones to have a choice. Oh I see those blinders already.

Who said that I forgot. Are you wishing for another widespread conflict in the Middle East?

And Israel didn't wait to find out what was going to happen before they removed the threat.

wasnt there some sort of ass kicking going on in 67 ;)

[mrsleeve]

That's pretty shortsighted. If a new political power in Egypt opens the blockade and lets Gazans into Egypt, Israel will go apeshit on Sinai, Syria, and Lebanon at the same time, kind of like '67. IIRC Syria is already massing military forces at the border, just in case.

The ones who are currently worried are the Israelis. They trully need to keep a pro-American neighbour. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to the Gaza blockade. And more support to the Palestinians
