Egyptian killed by American ship near Suez Canal
This just in from BBC Arabic, not yet in English sources.
I’ll translate the beginning:
“An American Ship kills an Egyptian near the Suez Canal:
“Egyptian security sources say that an American ship opened fire on an Egyptian boat in the Suez Canal, killing one Egyptian and wounding two others.”
“Further investigation reveals that a small boat came close to a ship carrying US goods in order to sell local commodities [we can assume that this is one way locals make money, bringing goods to bigger ships passing through] when the US boat opened fire. Scores of Egyptian boats gathered in a formation near the American ship in a protest demonstration demanding an investigation of the incident. But they then vacated the waters.”
The article goes on to gather information from various sources; the ship was privately owned, it’s name is the “Global Patriot” (sp) and it was on its way from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean when it opened fire.

This is just the start of an American full scale invasion. First it is a few incidents, then it is attacks against American citizens in Egypt, then it is the American media talking about how Egypt is ruled by dictatorship, then it is Al-Qaida in Egypt making a statement claiming responsibility for whatever killing, then it is “Muslim Brotherhood” that they are the new Taliban, then it is Egyptian weapons of mass destruction, then we have the new invention called ‘Black water USA’ applying to do the ‘invade Egypt project’ because the US military is too busy, of course Israel will be glad to ‘help’.
This is not an ‘incident’. This is just the beginning of a scenario.
Just sit down and watch unfold step by step as the neocons flex their muscles again.
ITS like when US Army shoots at a fast car approaching their convoy in Iraq.. but they have a reason to believe tht it may be a threat..
it wasnt even a USN ship.. so they had no right to shoot at it..
lets assume tht they, the boat, started firing RPG’s or returned fire… they would’ve been totally legit..
yeah man yeah, and then i hope after egypt they bomb da shit out of saudi and leave u with nothing but burnt out oil wellz and camelz
well my friend if muslims werent such assholes and respected others people’s’ faiths and treating them with respect and didnt regard them as second class citiezens in muslim coutries (offcourse only christians & jews but constanly bashing them as christians are polytheists believing in three gods and worshipping a cross and jews are cursed by allah so he turned them into apes and pigs as mentioned in the quaran) and everybody else are just kuffars where their choice would be islam or death in a muslim country and offcourse terrorism, suicide bombers, jihad, sharia law (amputations, lashing beheading and stoning) the duty to spread by propaganda or the sword the list goes on and on drinking camel piss as medicine adult breast feeding dont even get me started and they expect the rest of the world to respect them
