Surely This Was Obvious.

In a land long ago under the Presidency of George W Bush the big, bad CIA engaged in a practice known as "Extraordinary Rendition." This involved capturing enemy combatants (mainly Muslims) and transporting them to a third location for interrogation. The weak ones broke under the enhanced techniques at Guantanamo Bay while the slightly tougher ones had to be flown to secret prisons in various Eastern European nations. The really tough ones though were sent to Egypt where they were dealt with by Omar Suleiman's intelligence service and according to some reports Suleiman himself personally took part in a few of the torture sessions.

So far before the Palestine Papers were released Omar Suleiman was deeply unpopular amongst Egyptians. In fact you could say that Mubarak only appointed him as vice-President in order to enrage the protesters further. In short that means that the longer that the CIA continue to back Suleiman the less and less likely it becomes that Egypt will experience an orderly transition of power.

Now if you need further evidence of how badly the Americans totally failed to organise the current situation in Egypt then the sad fact is that they hadn't even bothered to update their contingency plan since Bush left.







And yes the above is the post that the Mubarak regime were hoping would save them. The idea was that if they could cling on to power long enough they would provoke me into starting a loud and massive argument between the American establishment. Once their Zionist allies have received this intelligence boost they would reward the NDP by keeping them in power. I'm not sure how that was meant to happen and I really don't know why the CIA were so keen on the idea.

Now I would like to dedicate the rest of this post to the late, great Leslie Nielsen but given the crash at Cork airport I thought that might cause too many problems around Tahrir square and really is it not time for you to go to bed for now?
