I watched a bit of FOX News coverage of the revolt in Egypt during lunch, and at one point the commentator said that the anti-government protesters were literally sitting on top of tanks and other military vehicles (probably paid for by U.S. taxpayers), but the soldiers manning the tanks were “just smiling.” Sounds like the American puppet dictator Mubarak will be the next “senior fellow” at the Claremont Institute, Heritage Foundation, AEI, or some other neocon GOP front group. Since he’s known for imprisoning and torturing political dissenters, “Lincoln Fellow” at the Claremont Institute would probably be the best fit.
