rssSen. Mark Udall: American political infighting should not touch on Egypt
- 2 Comments
Colorado Sen. Mark Udall today, appearing on the MSNBC’s Hardball show with Chris Matthews, said American political infighting should not spill over into how the United States deals with the ongoing popular uprising against the regime of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt.
Joined by Sen. Robert Casey, D-Pa., of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Udall was speaking ahead of an anticipated speech by Mubarak as the Egyptian military increases its role in handling the three-week-old protests that have already resulted in Mubarak saying he will not seek re-election in September. Protesters want Mubarak to step down immediately.
Mubarak later came on state television and infuriated crowds in the streets by refusing to step down.
Matthews had asked Udall and Casey earlier about the American Tea Party movement, in which some of its biggest stars, Glenn Beck of FOX News and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, have been highly critical of President Barack Obama’s handling of the Egypt crisis. Palin has called this Obama’s 3 a.m. phone call, referring to campaign ads from then presidential candidate Hilary Clinton claiming he didn’t have the foreign relations experience for the job.
Beck has been railing against a caliphate sweeping the Middle East that will entrench radical Islamists in positions of power. He is particularly fearful of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood – an 80-year-old party that has so far remained in the background of the current uprising.
Udall said what’s needed in the current situation is “another Atatürk,” referring to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk – the father of modern, secular Turkey. There is a clear division among some in the Tea Party movement who fear an increasingly radicalized Middle East and its inherent threat to American capitalism and old-school conservatives in the Bush-Cheney mold, who see the current string of uprisings, from Tunisia to Egypt, as the positive and inevitable spread of Democracy
That debate should stay within American borders, Udall said, allowing that there are likely many within the Tea Party movement who support the spread of Democracy and freedom.
“Our politics ought to end on the water’s edge on this,” Udall told Matthews.

THE ODYSSEY HAS BEGUN! – You will think of something!!
[He didn’t know what, he would do next, but he would think of something!!]
We have seen that the youth of Egypt are not ready, the youth of the [PDIR] Peoples Democratic Islamic Republic [Sphere of Influence] are not capable of ruling themselves. We totally and completely reject this as yet another anti-[SPHERE OF INFLUENCE] bogus argument of the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex and its media controlled operatives. We believe the youth of today are the Star-Children the Cyber-Children of a New World Order, of [Spheres of Influence Parity Order], we believe that they may not know what they will do, but we believe THEY WILL THINK OF SOMETHING! We have complete and total faith that they are the future, and they and only they can create that future. It is the Right, and the Destiny of Peoples not only of the [PDIR] but those of the [BRICS] Brazil, The Russian Federation, India, The Peoples Democratic Republic of China, and The Union of South Africa, to establish the [NEW WORLD ORDER]. It is time for a [GLOBAL REVOLUTION] of the youth of today. It is time to sweep the old from government, to break the ties that bind and hold the youth of today to past Status Quo, methods of doing things. We believe you the youth of today have it in [YOU], to create the [NEW WORLD ORDER] of [SPHERES OF PARITY ORDER INFLUENCE], we believe you will not only think of something, we believe you have already stated the Odyssey to that future, you have nothing to fear, but fear itself, you have taken the first step, in your journey, to that brave new world.
[[AIPAC/AZC] American Israeli Political Action Committee/American Zionist Committee]
There will be no, there can be no, and there will never be any change in the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex view, attitude or its support of dictators to ensure client states within the [PDIR] Peoples Democratic Islamic Republic of national [SPHERES OF INFLUENCE], as long as [AIPAC/AZC] has the full and complete support of the [NO TERM LIMIT, NO AGE LIMIT, GERRRYMANDERED DISTRICT] selected candidates by the [AIPAC/AZC] pro-Israeli lobby which supports this time next year in Israel of the old as the youth of [J-Street] counter no this time next year in Miami, and call for political change in Israel to sweep away the past and usher in the new reality of [SPHERES OF PARITY INFLUENCE] which simply is not going to happen, if and unless the old Status Quo is now done away with. The Islamic Revolution for control of its own destiny lay in its own hands, it will require bloodshed, it will demand loss, but it will mean VICTORY, FREEDOM, and yet another new [SPHERE OF PARITY INFLUENCE] allowing for the youth of Islam to control of its own governments, resources, military, and growth, based upon [NUCLEAR PARITY], of modern non-intercept able delivery systems, with [MIRV] Multiple Individual Re-entry Vehicles Systems. They will no longer accept sweet words of understanding and support that cannot be trusted, but seen as politically reality of slow them down, surround them, control them, and take control of them with those who support the Status Quo. The time has come for Revolutionary Action which are not tea-parties.
[Accountability]
As the umbilical cord is cut the Star Children the Cyber Children the Children of the New World Order of Spheres of Parity Influence must hold accountable those who have shed the blood of innocents, [400] four hundred children of Gaza will never see or be members of the [Spheres of Parity Influence], millions have been murdered, in the wars on terror which have been nothing more than wars of economic stimulus, the rape camp of Argentina of the [Brazil] Sphere of Influence, the killing of Tucumán Venezuelan Freedom Fighters, the Vietnamese Domino Theory Wars, Iraq, [Af-Pak] Afghanistan and Pakistan, the occupation of the [Footholds Germany and Okinawa], as Japan pays its own occupation with a sympathy tax, while dictators of other nations are paid [$Billion $USD$] Billions in United States Dollars to ensure the Status Quo, and the list goes on, all original form’s of [QE] Quantitive Easing of the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex. These are no small matters that can simply be sweep under the carpet; the New World Order will have to hold those who were responsible, accountable for their crimes against humanity, the chessboard strategy, the domino theory, the wars of economic stimulus, they had backers who must be brought to justice.
