Seems like you're talking about violence in opposition to the protests.

The military didn't seem to think it was that violent, hell, they just sat on their tanks. Even when it looks like Mubarak might have tried to provoke a violent response the people stayed pretty calm.

Perhaps you're just upset that a big group of Muslims aren't acting like the stereotype you want them to? Hmmmm...

Mubarak didn't step down because of violence, it was because the people showed their strength through non-violent means. This is precisely why this event is so dramatic.

according to BO, Panetta and Clapper, the only thing they know is what they learn from watching the news, so...while I'm sure you will cheerfully heap credit on him till it turns bad...not really sure what he had to do with anything....

I'm sure they love Drudge reporting (and Salty broadcasting) that the Admin is out to lunch.

Then the Islamists can't accuse the US of meddling in Muslim affairs

It happened on his watch, if it turns into a disaster he'll get all the blame.

Looks like Google might get all the credit, along with the protesters.
