Mohamed Fahmy doesn't get it

Mohamed Fahmy still seems to be under the impression that the Canadian government should be working feverishly behind the scenes to get him out of Egypt. He is, after all, a Canadian citizen.

Obviously, they haven't been, or he'd be free by now. Problem is, the vindictive racists in Harper's Ottawa don't see him as a Canadian at all. They see him as an Egyptian, and not a "good" Egyptian like Generalissimo al-Sisi, but a highly suspect Egyptian who most likely harbours thoughts sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood and, God forbid, Palestinians.

While he may technically be a Canadian, he's not really one; he's just one of those "Canadians of convenience" who keeps a Canadian passport in his back pocket as an insurance policy of sorts. The Middle East is full of those kind of Canadians, and frankly, the Harperites are sick of them.

Unlike the many folks who successfully hold dual Canada-Israel citizenship, Arab Canadian loyalties must always be suspect. It's yet another manifestation of what, over the last ten years, has become the dominant characteristic of the face Canada shows to the world; our hypocrisy.

Omar Khadr is another sterling example of that face. A lot of worthy-sounding do-gooder initiatives get serious traction in Canada, because most Canadians fancy themselves as kind and compassionate people. The campaign to free and rehabilitate child soldiers was one of these initiatives, at least so long as the problem of child soldiers was confined to primitive nations teeming with barbaric brown people. Then a 15 year old Afghan-Canadian kid gets caught in a fire-fight with US troops in Afghanistan, and all that compassion flies out the window faster than you can say "just kidding," and the Harper gang have spent untold millions blocking every legal move aimed at freeing and rehabilitating our own child soldier.

Again, it's because while he may have been technically a Canadian, he wasn't considered a "real" Canadian, because his daddy was a "terrorist" and his mommy wears a Niqab, and the dirty little shit personally threw a hand-grenade that killed a US soldier in Afghanistan, and any Afghan defending Afghanistan from the tender mercies of the US/NATO liberation is not worthy of inclusion in a modern civilized society like Canada.

Now this most virtuous of the Nations of Virtue has committed to spending half a billion dollars bombing Syria, a mission with only the fuzziest of rationales, no explicit goals, and no exit strategy. What we're seeing is Harper using foreign policy and the Canadian Forces to paint himself as some ersatz Warrior King in time for the coming election.

Let's hope enough voters see through the hypocrisy.

Egypt to annex Libya

Think about it.

Egypt; 80 million people, no oil resources.

Right next door, a mere five million people sitting on the greatest oil reserves in all Africa, at least it will be after those fanciful Nigeria numbers ever get a proper audit. And what are those Libyans doing with that oil bonanza?

Why nothing! In fact, since the Nations of Virtue gifted them the precious gift of freedom a couple years back, all they been doing is running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off, trying to cut off each others heads!

Not only that, but now you got your IS types mixed up in the mayhem, and by golly, they be choppin' heads too!

Now think big picture...

Our boy al-Sisi could do us a big favour and impose law and order on Libya, which has become nothing more than a breeding ground for extremism since we freed them from their evil dictator. Not only that, but he could save all that oil at the same time!

Bonus!

And after those whacko long-beards of IS lopped off the heads of the last 21 Egyptian Christians the other day, the entire Western world will be cheer-leading for al-Sisi!

Not only that, but this fits hand-in-glove with the plan afoot to rebuild Gaza in "Western Gaza," ie Egypt!

This is a win-win and win again, folks!

Israel finally gets rid of the Palestinians.

The Palestinians get their own country.

What Egypt loses in the Sinai to the new Palestinian State they more than make up with the annexation of Libya.

Plus, they get the oil reserves!

I think we got us a winner!....

And by the way, in case the beltway boys get cold feet about this bold plan, did you notice Putin was sniffing around in Cairo the other day?
