Pointing finger at US/UK for supporting friendly dictatorships around the world is one outrageously devious misconception! {g}

It is totally unfair ! They alway had 'balanced aproach' and supported ALL sides in every country of strategic interest;
One side overtly, and all others - covertly.

Aka
'We funded/helped you when you were little military thug without any future, then promoted you into the power, while in the meanwhile always kept all of your x-tra marital and financial adventures thorougly documented... '

'We funded you when you were hashish smoking leftist punk, then helped you graduate in colledge, showed you into a NGO, promoted you into prominent opposition leader, while in the meanwhile always kept detail records...

'We arrested/released you when you were local drug dealing criminal scum... then .... , while in the meanwhile always kept detail records...

etc,etc.

This way every time power switches hands through Orange, Purple, Rose, Velvet, Pink or Yellow revolution, there is always 'little bit of upper hand' remaining to keep relevant sways swinging in right direction...
(Huh... have to take a little bit of a break right now, so I can be equally mean/cynical tmrw morning... {g})

Problem with Egypt is that (AFAIC) Mubarak does not fit exactly above pattern, and neither does popular uprising that is happening
on streets of Egypt looks like any of the known colors of the revolutions we have seen so far.
(Except the recent one in Tunis that actually looks genuinely RED! )

Seem to me that both US/UK are totally confused as to what to say or do, as they do not have yet precise
intelligence reports on who is winning side there. Therefore all statements are so clumsy and convoluted.

There was cool video today of a young Egyptian guy interviewed by SkyNews reporter (funny that they aired it !) which
slams Obama more or less very directly;

'...You told people 'Yes we Can! ' and now what.. Nothing ??! ...
Stop being hypocrite .. Support people of Egypt !!! ...'

Will post video as soon (if it does) surface on youtube. If there was not over a 100 dead it wld be almost funny!
(And that includes almost red face of studio news-host after report got aired)


BTW, My favourite is EL Baradei ! But then again I got it all totally wrong with Obama... so who is your pick ? :))
