The Egyptian people, if they want to succeed in getting rid of Mubarek and get a government of their choosing (and not the west's), need to stand their ground and move forward, not be deterred.

First, the Taliban said that, if the U.S. gave evidence the Taliban decided was convincing , then the Taliban would let their Islamic courts in Afghanista n try bin Laden. After the U.S. started bombing al Qaeda in Afghanista n, the Taliban said that if the U.S. stopped bombing, and gave the Taliban convincing evidence, then the Taliban would be ready to hand bin Laden over to some neutral 3rd party country, as long as it was a country that would never "come under pressure from the United States".

==========
We sold it to Saddam:
The Reagan administration and its special Middle East envoy, Donald Rumsfeld, did little to stop Iraq developing weapons of mass destructio n in the 1980s, even though they knew Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons "almost daily" against Iran, it was reported yesterday.
US support for Baghdad during the Iran-Iraq war as a bulwark against Shi'ite militancy has been well known for some time, but using declassified government documents, the Washington Post provided new details yesterday about Mr Rumsfeld's role, and about the extent of the Reagan administra tion's knowledge of the use of chemical weapons.
The details will embarrass Mr Rumsfeld, who as defence secretary in the Bush administration is one of the leading hawks on Iraq, frequently denouncing it for its past use of such weapons.
The US provided less conventional military equipment than British or German companies but it did allow the export of biological agents, including anthrax; vital ingredient s for chemical weapons; and cluster bombs sold by a CIA front organisati on in Chile, the report says.
Intelligence on Iranian troop movements was provided, despite detailed knowledge of Iraq's use of nerve gas.
Rick Francona, an ex-army intelligence lieutenant -colonel who served in the US embassy in Baghdad in 1987 and 1988, told the Guardian: "We believed the Iraqis were using mustard gas all through the war, but that was not as sinister as nerve gas.
"They started using tabun [a nerve gas] as early as '83 or '84, but in a very limited way. They were probably figuring out how to use it. And in '88, they developed sarin."
On November 1 1983, the secretary of state, George Shultz, was passed intelligence reports of "almost daily use of CW [chemical weapons]" by Iraq.
However, 25 days later, Ronald Reagan signed a secret order instructing the administra tion to do "whatever was necessary and legal" to prevent Iraq losing the war.
In December Mr Rumsfeld, hired by President Reagan to serve as a Middle East troubleshooter, met Saddam Hussein in Baghdad and passed on the US willingnes s to help his regime and restore full diplomatic relations.

"US foreign policy had been hijacked by a cabal of neoconservative "crusaders " in the former vice president' s office and now in the special operations community. "
"What I'm really talking about is how eight or nine neoconservative, radicals* if you will, overthrew the American government . Took it over," he said of his forthcomin g book. "It's not only that the neocons took it over but how easily they did it -- how Congress disappeare d, how the press became part of it, how the public acquiesced ."
"Hersh then brought up the widespread looting that took place in Baghdad after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. "In the Cheney shop, the attitude was, ‘What's this? What are they all worried about, the politicians and the press, they're all worried about some looting? ... Don't they get it? We're gonna change mosques into cathedrals . And when we get all the oil, nobody's gonna give a damn.'"
"That's the attitude," he continued. "We're gonna change mosques into cathedrals. That's an attitude that pervades, I'm here to say, a large percentage of the Joint Special Operations Command."
"He then alleged that Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who headed JSOC before briefly becoming the top U.S. commander in Afghanista n, and his successor, Vice Adm. William McRaven, as well as many within JSOC, "are all members of, or at least supporters of, Knights of Malta."
"Hersh may have been referring to the Sovereign Order of Malta, a Roman Catholic organization commited to "defence of the Faith and assistance to the poor and the suffering, " according to its website."
"Many of them are members of Opus Dei," Hersh continued. "They do see what they're doing -- and this is not an atypical attitude among some military -- it's a crusade, literally. They see themselves as the protectors of the Christians. They're protecting them from the Muslims [as in] the 13th century. And this is their function."
"They have little insignias, these coins they pass among each other, which are crusader coins," he continued. "They have insignia that reflect the whole notion that this is a culture war. … Right now, there’s a tremendous, tremendous amount of anti-Musli m feeling in the military community. "
Pulitzer Prize-winnKEEP READINGing journalist Seymour Hersh spoke at the Georgetown University 's School of Foreign Service in Qatar on Monday, January 17, 2011, where he said that a group of radical neoconserv atives, "overthrew the American government . Took it over." He added, "It's not only that the neocons took it over but how easily they did it -- how Congress disappeare d, how the press became part of it, how the public acquiesced ."
Expressing his disappointment with President Barack Obama and his dissatisfa ction with the direction of U.S. foreign policy, "Just when we needed an angry black man," he began, "we didn't get one."
"I've given up being disillusioned about the CIA," Hersh said. "They're trained to lie, period. They will lie to their president, they will lie certainly to the Congress, and they will lie to the American people. That's all there is to it."
Much of that can be attributed to Bush and Rumsfeld "retiring" any and all of the brass that weren't supportive of its plans to invade and occupy.
The situation is so dire now (an Army depleted of talent and rationalit

A former Murtha staffer also told The Huffington Post that the congressma==========n had been a "skeptic" on Afghanista n after making multiple visits to the country. "He always said as soon as we become seen as an occupying force, we lose in Afghanista n, because suddenly we're not seen as fighting on behalf of the people, we're seen as a foreign army here to take your land and children, basically, " the staffer said. "Certainly he believed that we weren't fighting al Qaeda there any longer. The informatio n has shown that al Qaeda has fled to Pakistan, and we're here."
I predicted he would. It doesn't change what I (or really R. Rinkle) wrote. Nor does it make the decision just or fair or right. Emanuel argued that he wasn't a resident, but that the rules should be broken for him. Ok, we already know that in the US some people are more 'special' than others. No news here. ;-)
