US Warships Signal Washington’s Intervention to Save its Egyptian Garrison by Finian Cunningham http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/us-warships-signal-washington’s-intervention-to-save-its-egyptian-garrison/

While Washington may maneouvre a new political face in Egypt under the guise of an “orderly transition”, the essential fact is this: Washington has to and will at all costs defend its Egyptian garrison. What’s at stake is not just whether democracy is won by the people of Egypt. What’s at stake is the US empire.

To that end, false flags, such as the blowing up of crucial oil supply routes via the Red Sea to justify US intervention for the sake of protecting “vital national interests” or a self-inflicted atrocity against US personnel, and the stepping up of the spurious Western mainstream media propaganda drive to paint the revolution in Egypt as an “Islamic threat”, can be expected.
