Why is the American media silent on the condition of Americans currently in Egypt?


That’s the biggest question I want an answer to. It’s getting pretty scary over in Egypt and I’ve seen this movie before. In the late 70s there was an Iranian uprising against the Shah of Iran. He was supported by the United States too as is Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.


President Jimmy Carter mishandled that situation and as a result 51 American hostages were held for 444 days by Iranian thugs.

Now I find it very interesting how the American press is very silent about Americans currently in Egypt. It’s as if they don’t want to report on Americans in danger and how that will impact the president.

I hope this doesn’t turn into that type of situation.

But, although the Obama-suck up media doesn’t want to say it, this is clearly Obama’s biggest foreign policy crisis.

Whether Egypt ends up being another Turkey or Iran is squarely on his shoulders.
