Following are some examples of errors that have been pointed out to DiscoverTheNetworks (DTN), and which we have quickly and willingly corrected: "<

"Discover the Networks" is the Wikipedia of politics.
Discover the Networks (originally Discover the Network) is an anti-socialist web site[1][2] that focuses on the individuals, groups, and history of the political left wing (e.g., the network of tax-exempt groups and politicians funded by George Soros it collectively labels "The Shadow Party"). DtN was launched in 2004 by the David Horowitz Freedom Center and has a staff of about a dozen contributors. Its current Editor-in-Chief is David Horowitz; John Perazzo is the project's managing editor, and Richard Poe is its investigative editor. Discover the Network is associated with FrontPageMag.com.
According to the project's mission statement, Discover the Network's goal is to provide a comprehensive "guide to the political left" covering "the individuals and organizations that make up the left and also the institutions that fund and sustain it." The project also seeks to "define the left's...programmatic agendas," which it contends are often concealed. The project's contributors contend that the political left in the United States commonly applies a "deceptive public presentation" of itself that conceals a network of affiliations and shared political views with "radical agendas". It views these as communist, socialist, environmentalist, "anti-capitalist", and "anti-American" causes.
Heya Apache.....there is content. Despite him being a writer on Radical Islam. From your link.
This Arab Spring had nothing to do with democracy or freedom. It was a scheme to split the Islamist ranks by turning over the Middle East to political Islamists. It was Zbigniew Brzezinski’s Green Belt strategy practiced on a grander scale than Iran. Instead of Jimmy Carter hoping that the Ayatollah Khomeini would checkmate the USSR, there was Barack Obama counting on Muslim Brotherhood election victories to make the practice of international terrorism passé.
The Arab Spring was a cheerful brand, a shiny media package, covering up an ugly truth. The optimistic implications of its name kept many from looking at the list of ingredients and finding out that the only things inside were Islamists and more Islamists.
The pyramid scheme would keep investing in new Islamist governments and they would pay us back by discrediting Al Qaeda’s campaign of terror and that, the liberal foreign policy mavens insisted, would allow us to bring an end to the War on Terror.
Egypt was where it was all supposed to come together. It was the most powerful Arab country standing and its political system was a legacy of European colonialism. The Muslim Brotherhood had been born there and Al Qaeda, in its own way as well, with ambitious Egyptian Brotherhood members like Zawahiri, Al Qaeda’s current leader and former grey eminence, using Bin Laden as a hand puppet.
The Arab Spring was supposed to bring stability, but it made Egypt more unstable. It was supposed to work economic miracles by fusing devout Islam with free market capitalism. Western useful idiots told Morsi to use Turkey as a model. He did. The real Turkey is a paranoid oligarchy in debt up to its eyeballs.
Finally, it was supposed to neuter Al Qaeda. Instead it only encouraged it. Islamists taking power by winning elections was supposed to convince Al Qaeda members that it was time to trade in the bomb for the ballot box. Instead the Muslim Brotherhood used Al Qaeda to play a game of “Good Terrorist” and “Bad Terrorist” with the United States the way most Muslim countries do.....snip~
Some of this can be validated thru the sources we had up on the MB. I don't know about that comment about Turkey and Morsi looking to model after them. I think the MB had their own plan in mind. But it is more than clear that the MB is connected to AQ in more ways than one and rather than being outfront and aligned with them publicly.
So why is Egypt a problem in your view?
What's wrong with military rule? Does it offend our sensibilities? The military poses far less threat to Israel than an Islamic tainted government. As far as I can see, Obama's "failure" is our success. We tried to help the Egyptians out so at least we didn't make a new enemies.
It would seem Fearless Leader is idealistic. He wants the world to be a hugbox and frankly, so do I. So, it was worth a try.
Or am I confused?

Who are you posting to ?
Obama’s Cairo pivot gave the Muslim Brotherhood its best shot at power in Egypt, but it may have also destroyed it. The Muslim Brotherhood’s continued existence is no longer an asset that keeps American calls for democracy at bay. It has become a Damocles sword of regime change hanging over their necks. And that means it may have to be destroyed. In the peculiar politics of the region, success may be the only thing that can destroy terrorists.....snip~
To anyone looking for a conversation that extends beyond Obama-bashing and discusses the actual results of the events.
Well, yes, that's sort of my point. Regardless of how things start, its how things end that matters. I'm postulating that military rule in Egypt is a good thing and therefore a plus. A military government that hates terrorists and cooperates in hunting them down and killing them.
I have to agree with you and Egypt will end up with what they had before the Arab Spring. It wasn't Obama's intentions.
Unfortunately Obama threw a long time ally under the bus and the entire world watched Obama throw an ally under the bus. It was Mubarka who protected Israel's southern flank, kept the Suez Canal open and why westerners were able to vacation in Egypt. I doubt I will live to see the day when an American female will be able to travel to Egypt by herself and see the great pyramids and sail down the Nile.
I've never been to Egypt but know many who have. Everone mentioned two things about Egypt. The poverty and being told by Egyptians the only reason they haven't been raped, robbed or murdered was because of Mubarak.
The Egyptian military is already starting to look at the Russians for support.
If times were a changing and Mubarak had to go, a competent President who had a competent Secretary of State could have convinced Mubarak that it was time to go and he could have hand picked who his successor would be that would have been in America's and the western world best interest. But that didn't happen.
A scorpion and a turtle stood at the edge of a river. As the turtle prepared to swim across, the scorpion asked, "Will you give me a ride across?"
"Absolutely not," the turtle responded. "You are a scorpion, and you will sting me before we get to the other side."
"No I won't," the scorpion answered. "That wouldn't make any sense, because if I sting you while we cross, we'll both drown. I want to get to the other side as much as you do. So let's work together, what do you say?"
It took a while, but the scorpion finally convinced the turtle to let him ride on his back as he swam across the river. As they drew close to the opposite shore, the scorpion raised his tail and stung the turtle.
"What did you do that for?" the turtle cried. "Now we're both dead!"
The scorpion just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Welcome to the Middle East."
I never believed Arab spring was naturally.
On each country, happen the same scenario in trying to overthrown the regimes.
