Lots of talking heads making comments about Hamas taking advantage of the events in Egypt and moving "teams" into the country. I don't see it happening. Hamas has two goals. 1. Taking control of the Palestinian movement and taking key players or operatives into Egypt is a distraction. 2. They have their marching orders from their new found bosses; Iran. Iran has armed Hamas to the level they currently are for one basic reason, to inflict damage on Israel if Israel attacks. Iran may not like the idea of the Muslim Brotherhood taking lead in Egypt, but it's not willing to sacrifice strategic assets with Israel getting more and more desperate. Yes, Hamas is Sunni based and for that reason following Iran doesn't make sense. Hamas will do what Arabs do well, they will double cross Iran when the time comes and that time is not now. Iran is helping Hamas achieve their goal and Iran is using Hamas to counter Israel. So go the ways of the Middle East. It's been like this for over five thousand years. Why should it change now?

For several years the ingredients for discontent in Egypt have been building. The prize, and that is exactly what Egypt is to the radicals, of Mubarak's downfall is truly the golden ring!! This event may not have been initiated by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, radical Sunni's by the way; who else is a radical Sunni, but they have anticipated how they could leverage an uprising if that day should actually come in other countries such, especially Egypt!
The radicals were not ready for the events in Tunisia, but they started working hard soon after that to take advantage of future events if they did happen. For them to watch the streets of the Egyptian Capital erupt into a full scale revolt is a dream they simply could not have imagined a few short weeks ago.
So now what? No one believes the Muslim Brotherhood will suddenly wake up in charge of Egypt. That simply will not be allowed to happen by many parties involved. Yet, the course for them to take a greater role in Egyptian leadership is well underway. Look at Lebanon if you want to see how this will all take place. A movement based upon a "democratic election process, that's the real kick in the butt here, that leads to eventual control. That is what we could very easly be looking at for Egypt's future!
When people talk of "domino events", they need to understand domino's don't have to fall all at once and they don't have to do so quickly or even violently. Look at the fall of the Soviet Empire as a historical maker.
The stage is set for a radically new environment, and I use the word" radical" carefully, in not just Egypt, but in several key countries of the Middle East.
There is only one target larger than Egypt to the "radicals" and that is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I can assure you the midnight oil is burning inside the Royal Families quarters. Watch the city of Jedda in the next few days, that will be a key as to what events could spill over into Saudi. One thing is for sure, the Muslim Brotherhood is back and stronger than ever. The link between them and UBL is about to change.

HARD TIMES COMING!!!
