US must clarify destination of arms headed to Egypt
« on: March 16, 2012, 09:46:39 AM »
Amnesty International has called on the United States to clarify the final destination of an arms shipment it said was headed to Egypt, in a statement late on Thursday.

The London-based rights group had earlier said the shipment may be abused by Egyptian security forces, which had fired at protesters in deadly protests in recent months.

But the US Navy said the shipment would not be offloaded in Egypt without clarifying its final destination, the London-based organisation said in a subsequent statement.

Amnesty says the Dutch-flagged vessel, MV Schippersgracht, which left the US Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU), is "carrying a class of dangerous goods that covers cartridges for weapons, fuses and other ammunition" and is headed to Egypt's Port Said.

We don't know who's running the place, but let's ship them a boat load of guns and ammo anyway.  Great job, Barry.

Instead of packing them with regular gun grease, pack them in pig fat and label it as such.

Yeah, some already have been used on them.

I think we should start arming some of the southern African nations and using the same promises the Muslims use...all you can steal, all the women you can rape and complete domination and ownership of the conquered territories.

You can't civilize muslims, their religion doesn't allow it.

Soetoro knows precisely what he is doing over there and has made his intentions abundantly clear. "I will stand with the Muslims"...

Unfortunately I see Egypt headed on a fast track back to 700 A.D. right along with the rest of the "Arab Spring". Too bad. We could very well see the destruction of antiquities in Egypt such as the Sphinx and other priceless iconic treasures just like the Buddahs of Bamiyan were destroyed by the Neanderthals.

This Soetoro angle you use so eloquently is quite intriguing. I might substitute it for my use of owebuma.
