TALKING HEADS STARTING TO RUN OUT OF THINGS TO SAY!!!
One thing became clear to me today, the talking heads have started to run out of things to say.
"What's going to happen"? Well; how many times can that question be answered?
Oh ya; the story about the attempted assignation of the VP in Egypt is up in the air right now, but if it's true, I am sure the moderate MB would never have condoned such an act!!! Lord now I sound like the Talking Heads on TV. The MB probably pulled out the Sadat "playbook".
Ok back to the task at hand. What do we know today that we didn't know yesterday? Answer, not much!! The whole thing is much like a Chess Match. One move is what's going on in Egypt, the other moves are:
1. What is going on in other Muslim Countries?
Oh ya; Why is everyone fixated on this only taking place in Muslim Countries. If food and the price of food is one of the core issues, Talking Head viewpoint that I don't agree with, then why are we only looking at Muslim nations? I'm not going to comment yet. I want to see if the "professionals" on TV begin to figure out why they are only talking about Muslim countries. I will give it another two days and then give my answer.
2. What in the world is the US and it's allies doing to war-game the next few weeks, months?
Here is a topic I am really worried about. Policy can't come from watching Fox and CNN and then having a meeting to come up with a quick sound bite for the press. Yep; the way it's done now.
3. Poor old Israel!!! If anything keeps me up at night right now, it's the thought of the Israelis growing more and more desperate. I said this yesterday, but I will say it again. When they watched the US abandon Egypt's leadership in the course of two days, that had to set them back on heels!. A classic example of a "knee Jerk Reaction" with no thoughts of Second and Third order Effects.
Here is the real problem. It's Super Bowl Weekend and the whole country, " Joe Six Pack" is going to funnel in the pre-pre game show. ... the pre game show... Hundreds of dumb very rich Jocks talking saying incredibly visionary things like, " IF DA TURN DA BALL OVRR DA MAY LOSE"!!!
If I was worried about US reaction and I wanted to do something to end or drastically increase the events in Egypt, I would do it Saturday night or Sunday morning our time. No network in their right mind will interrupt the hours of Super Bowl hype over Egypt.
Get ready for something by Saturday or Sunday am.
