I wonder what the Israelis are up to right now.....

[roamer65]

Really makes me wonder.

Another question...where is Negroponte right now?

[Swede]

1. I wonder what is happening in Luxembourge?

And what is Sheen doing?

2. Oh you HAD to bring up that assclown Negroponte

:grr: :puke:

And stunningly, just days before massive protests erupted all over Egypt demanding democracy — protests which were widely expected given events in neighboring Tunisia and the upcoming anniversary of a police massacre at the hands of British colonizers — AmCham Egypt hosted former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, who blamed the media for its “sensational coverage” of the Tunisian revolution and said it was in American interests to “continue to support ‘our friends’ in the region, such as Egypt, Jordan and Gulf countries.” “Chaos is in no one’s interest,” he concluded, disparaging the protests:

Negroponte said it will be crucial for US interests to continue to support “our friends” in the region, such as Egypt, Jordan and Gulf countries. <...>

During a brief question-and-answer session at the conclusion of his address, Negroponte said he was surprised by the unrest in Tunisia that ended the 23-year presidency of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. He said that what happened in Tunisia is “not necessarily transferable” to other countries. He blamed the news media for sensational coverage of self-immolation protests in Egypt, Algeria and Mauritania, and urged “a little bit of patience.” “Let’s hope the country doesn’t descend into chaos,” he said. “Chaos is in no one’s interest.”

While backing dictatorships is nothing new for Negroponte, it should be noted that he has financial interests at stake in Egypt as well. He is on the board of Agility DGS, a defense company that has major operations in Egypt.

4. Dated, and yes I now the Murdoch... err Jerusalem Post

but will give you an idea

Oh and right now... I am betting on a low level army mobilization. If things get out of control in Egypt (check) Lebanon (check), Syria (coming), and Jordan (check) you can bet on a mobilization.

Oh and I am also betting truck loads of pepto bismol.

6. haaretz

Mubarak refuses to step down, dismisses Egyptian government
Egyptian President acknowledges calls for change but maintains that order must prevail in his first public statement since massive protests began four days ago.

9. Two things to note

http://www.haaretz.com/polopoly_fs/1.339886.1296255302!/image/2694887919.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_295/2694887919.jpg



I think we are looking at an M113 burning there. Not an easy task... tells me heavy use of molotovs.

The second... Ha Aretz will be the last place where you will find if the IDF is having any level of alert. If they are, mums the words and units are getting mobilized the usual way... messages to your sweetheart (as in code) on the radio and TV.

I hate large images

8. My guess is ...

They are probably all starting their day, its 8:01 am there now!

10. Here, found it

Official: Egypt coup may prompt revolution in Israel’s defense doctrine

Translation, the high command is dusting off plans right now and revising them... especially Southern Command. I am almost positive now of a mobilization as well.
