Midknight Review -- new and revised: The State Department has announced that flights out of Egypt will be "unlikely" after Thursday (today)

For the third day, violence is the name of the game in Cairo and today, the "third day," the violence includes machine gun fire. MSNBC is reporting the most violent fighting since the rebellion began.

the fact that the State Department is ordering all Americans out of the country is a telling circumstance.

The crisis has increased because of Mubarak's refusal to step down until the elections in September. The people do not trust the man and no longer want to wait on his promises. He has dug in as have the opposition.

The military has refused to fire on the citizenry and has waited patiently during the riots. Understand that the military is highly thought of by all factions within the nation.

This picture came across the wires just a little after 12 am this morning (pst).

Yesterday, the State Department ordered all Americans out of the country. It is time for the Americans remaining in that country pay the $1,700 and get the heck out of town. Keep in mind that this event is not an anti-Israeli or American rebellion, but the fear is that it might be devolve into just that situation. The Muslim Brotherhood is making a concerted effort to influence the current rebellion. If that happens, Israel and the United States will be targets of the rebellion, despite the convoluted message(s) coming from the White House.

The sad thing in all this, is the apparently lack of concern for Israel. But the returning Mohamed ElBaradei, expected to return from Vienna to Egypt on Thursday, told reporters that Egypt will remain supportive of Israel.

Dr. Mohamed Mostafa ElBaradei was the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an inter-governmental organization under the auspices of the United Nations from December 1997 to November 2009 -- a very qualified fellow. As a political leader, however, he is viewed as too weak to be a long term leader in Egypt.

The current Vice President, Omar Suleiman , is seen as the best bet for an intern leader. He is not seen as corrupt and has the respect and experience to serve in a transition government. Understand that Suleiman was named Vice President just this past Saturday [appointed by Mubarak], indicating the intention of some within governmental circles to move him into the intern government.

This editor remains hopeful that the situation, violent as it is, will not become an opportunity for radical Islam. If we are proven wrong in this, you are looking at the worst situation in the Middle East since the beginning days of Israel by UN degree.

While we are hopeful, we must admit that the State Department's orders are not a good sign.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
