“What is your order, my President?”
By John Batchelor on May 11, 2009 at 3:00 PM in Egypt, President Barack Obama
POTUS to Cairo TV, A Fable.
The White House announcement that POTUS will stop in smoggy, beggarly, tyrannized Cairo in June to address the Muslim world on TV reminds me of the tale told on the Egyptian president for life Hosni Mubarak and his secret police chief and raconteur Omar Suleiman. One night, President Mubarak was in his palace enjoying the night breezes over the Nile, and from the veranah he spotted a million torches marching across the horizon. Hosni Mubarak telephoned his police chief and raconteur Omar Suleiman. “What are those torches, I see?” General Suleiman, a distinguished gentleman, put down his pipe and spoke calmly, “My president, those are your people marching to liberate Palestine from the Jews and Crusaders!”
President Mubarak responded in alarm, “We can’t have that, the Crusaders, I means the Americans our friends and chief donors, will grow annoyed with us and stop the tribute. Make them go away!”
Suleiman’s Lesson.
“My President, we have a choice.” President Mubarak shouted to hurry up and explain, the mob was throwing rocks. General Suleiman obeyed, “We can tell them to stop, and they will march over the palace as burns. Or we can tell them we join them, and they will cheers us as they march by. What is your order, my President?”
POTUS and Suleiman.
POTUS will enjoy his photo ops with Hosni Mubarak. There will be opportunity for grinning, handshakes, congratulations. Later, off camera, POTUS will meet with the men and women who meet with secret police chief and raconteur Omar Suleiman to hear the World According to the Cairo Caliphate. 1. Washington will oblige Jerusalem to stand down and accept the Hamas fiction of truce, accommodation, peace partnership in return for the withdrawal from the Golan, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the acceptance of the return of those claiming lands as displaced refugees from 1948. 2. Cairo will assure Washington that Cairo is not in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty despite the IAEA recording enriched fissile material at a nuke site in 2007-2008. 3. Cairo will promise to maintain a block to the ambitions of the Tehran aggressors as long as Washington maintains a block to the Jerusalem aggressors. 4. Washington must pledge to support Hosni Mubarak’s son Gamal Mubarak in the upcoming succession struggle against the feverishly anti-American Moslem Brother. 5. Cairo tells Washington that Cairo fears for the fate of the Gulf region before the onslaught of the Tehran aggressors. Does Washington want to join Cairo in establishing the Palestinian state inside the state of the Jews, or does Washington want the Tehran aggressors to march over Cairo and the Ummah to smash Jerusalem?
