New clashes outside US Embassy in Cairo Egyptian security forces have used tear gas on a raging crowd of demonstrators near the US Embassy in Cairo. Several dozen people have reportedly been injured as the police dispersed the stone-throwing demonstrators. Riot police have managed to push a group of several hundred protesters back in Cairo's side streets near the embassy. Some of the protesters have been injured, state news agency MENA reported, giving no further details. Witnesses reporting the incident on Twitter said as many as several dozen people may have been injured. The incident comes just a day after some 2,000 demonstrators gathered around the US embassy, while a group of the most conservative protesters tore down the American flag and replaced it with a black banner bearing the traditional Islamic message, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet.”..snipped http://rt.com/news/cairo-clashes-us-embassy-013/ I hope it doesn't interrupt Obama's fundraiser plans?

What is “FORWARD”? I also call upon the Egyptian government to reverse the actions that they’ve taken to interfere with access to the Internet, to cell phone service and to social networks that do so much to connect people in the 21st century. [tools of the ...terrorists?] At the same time, those protesting in the streets have a responsibility to express themselves peacefully. Violence and destruction will not lead to the reforms that they seek. Now, going forward, this moment of volatility has to be turned into a moment of promise. The United States has a close partnership with Egypt and we've cooperated on many issues, including working together to advance a more peaceful region. But we've also been clear that there must be reform — political, social, and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people. Barack Hussein Obama - 1/28/11 The word Tahrir means liberation. It is a word that speaks to that something in our souls that cries out for freedom. And forevermore it will remind us of the Egyptian people — of what they did, of the things that they stood for, and how they changed their country, and in doing so changed the world. Barack Hussein Obama - 2/11/11 Members of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood met with U.S. officials including White House staffers, the administration confirmed Tuesday. "Following Egypt's revolution, we have broadened our engagement to include new and emerging political parties and actors," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told POLITICO. 4/4/12 http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/04/muslim-brotherhood-delegation-meets-with-white-house-119647.html "President Obama extended an invitation to President Mursi [the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate] to visit the United States when he attends the U.N. General Assembly in September," Egyptian aide Yasser Ali said after Mursi met U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns in Cairo. 7/8/12 http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/08/us-egypt-usa-idUSBRE86708820120708 [September invitation, as August was set aside for Mursi’s busy schedule to visit Iran!] …This would be the first visit ever to the U.S. by a member of the genocidal Muslim Brotherhood in an official capacity. 7/8/12 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157627#.T_oGSpGEn9o White House spokesman Tommy Vietor confirmed to Fox News that Obama is not expected to meet with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, though insisted it was just a scheduling problem. He said Obama will be at the United Nations on Sept. 24 and leave the following day, while Netanyahu won’t be in the city until later in the week. 9/12/12 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/12/early-frost-white-house-gives-chilly-response-to-proposed-obama-netanyahu-talk/#ixzz26MOHAkmj That would be when he attends the U.N. General Assembly in September Egypt's powerful Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday called for nationwide protests Friday after a film deemed offensive to Islam sparked a deadly attack in Libya and furious protests in Cairo. The Brotherhood calls "for peaceful protests on Friday outside all the main mosques in all of Egypt's provinces to denounce offenses to religion and to the Prophet," the Muslim Brotherhood's Secretary General Mahmud Hussein said in a statement. He also urged all "national forces to join the protests." The Muslim Brotherhood, from which President Mohammed Morsi emerged, is the largest and most organized political force in the country. 9/12/12 http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/53288-egypt-islamists-call-for-protests-after-insult-film ![]() Should we re-think the moving “FORWARD”? Maybe Barry HUSSEIN could invite both Mosri and Netanyahu over for dinner (if the chefs can keep the menu straight)! . Edited by kbp, Sep 13 2012, 10:04 AM.

REPORTS: No Live Ammo for Marines Marine blogs say U.S. embassy did not authorize service members to carry ammo U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo. 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.” U.S. officials have yet to confirm or comment on the reports. Time magazine’s Battleland blog reported Thursday “Senior U.S. officials late Wednesday declined to discuss in detail the security at either Cairo or Benghazi, so answers may be slow in coming.” If true, the reports indicate that Patterson shirked her obligation to protect U.S. interests, Nightwatch states. “She did not defend U.S. sovereign territory and betrayed her oath of office,” the report states. “She neutered the Marines posted to defend the embassy, trusting the Egyptians over the Marines.”..snipped http://freebeacon.com/reports-marines-not-permitted-live-ammo/ |

Several US Marine blogs report that US Ambessador, Anne Patterson, barred Marines from having live ammo in the Cairo embassy. Good grief! She must be recalled asap. Security not much better in Lybia, where ambassador was in a "safe house", protected by Lybian and state dept security, not Marines. house had no defensive features, such as bullit proof windows, hard to breach doors, etc. All of this taking place on 9/11 in the face of numerous threats.

I don't believe in sending any Marine or any soldier where they can't carry live ammo. They are targets! The uniform is a target. What kind of idiot Ambassador makes that order? Especially since the Marines are there to protect the Embassy & her! An Obama appointed Ambassador under HRC. Maybe it about time we have some Joint Chiefs of Staff with some balls? They should absolutely tell Obama this has to stop. Edited by Baldo, Sep 13 2012, 01:07 PM.

White House clarifies Obama’s statement that Egypt is not an ‘ally’ President Barack Obama didn't intend to signal any change in the U.S.-Egypt relationship last night when he said Egypt is not an "ally," the White House told The Cable today. In an interview with Telemundo Wednesday night, Obama said that the U.S. relationship with the new Egyptian government was a "work in progress," and emphasized that the United States is counting on the government of Egypt to better protect the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which was attacked by protesters on Sept. 11. "I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy," Obama said. "They're a new government that is trying to find its way. They were democratically elected. I think that we are going to have to see how they respond to this incident." That comment had Egypt watchers scratching their heads, especially since technically, Egypt was designated as a Major Non-NATO Ally in 1989 when Congress first passed the law creating that status, which gives them special privileges in cooperating with the United States, especially in the security and technology areanas. White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told The Cable Thursday that the administration is not signaling a change in that status. "I think folks are reading way too much into this," Vietor said. "‘Ally' is a legal term of art. We don't have a mutual defense treaty with Egypt like we do with our NATO allies. But as the president has said, Egypt is longstanding and close partner of the United States, and we have built on that foundation by supporting Egypt's transition to democracy and working with the new government." ...snipped http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/09/13/white_house_clarifies_obama_s_statement_that_egypt_is_not_an_ally Big Goof by "...the smartest president ever.." Never-mind we will still forgive them a billion dollar loan to prove we are BFFs! |

I couldn't agree more, Baldo. The Commandant of the US Marine Corps should immediately inform his Commaner in Chief that he cannot continue to send Marine in harms way without a means to defend themselves. If O refuses to permit necessary weapons and ammo, the Commandant should resign. He cannot disobey a direct order, but he cannot ethically send his Marines into places like Cairo, Lybia without a means of defense. |

One can only assume that they spent time in Britain and picked up those masks the day after Guy Fawkes Day for a cheap price. |
