Salvific Awakenment Watch, or, The Cairo Process Revived

First let us save a copy of our own little Juanogram of this date, just in case, and seeing that it is on more or less the topic just announced:

What a surprise! Dr. Zawáhirí is only expressing mainstream moderate Arab opinion. D. Ignatius assures us this morning that everybody who is anybody east of Suez wants the militant GOP to Bomb, bomb, bomb / Bomb, bomb Iran:

The risk of a U.S.-Iranian confrontation is growing in part because Saudi Arabia and other U.S. allies in the Middle East are so eager for it. "Behind closed doors, we are praying that the Iranians will make a mistake so that you will have a reason to attack," one Saudi told me this week. Another prominent Arab official said he hopes the U.S. will strike Iranian training camps just over the border from Iraq.

The Foreign Minister of the Arab Republic of Egypt is undoubtedly a somebody, even though I daresay he spends most of his time on the wrong size of Suez. In any case, he has just received a delegation of Salvific Awakeners from Peaceful Freedumbia. Google Gibberish reports as follows in the path of WAM, the Emirates News Service

Cairo, May 7 / mother / Search and Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit today with a delegation from the Council of Elders and chieftains Iraq developments on the Iraqi arena and the role of some outer regional powers and its role in stabilizing Iraq.

The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry official Hossam Zaki, the Egyptian ambassador that the delegation expressed the aspiration of the Iraqi Arab States to intensify their presence in Iraq multiple forms, both through the diplomatic representation or any other forms of support Iraqis.

He said that Abul said the Iraqi delegation the importance of concerted Arab efforts of all to preserve the Arab identity of Iraq, according to the wishes of the Iraqi people and the supreme Arab interests required.

He added that Abul Gheit stressed Egypt's delegation should seriously consider sending a mission to Iraq to investigate the situation and recognize the possibility of diplomatic presence in which to serve the interests of the fraternal peoples and the supreme Arab interests.

He said Sheikh Majed Abdel-Razeq Al-Ali, leader of clans President made a delegation of Iraqi tribes, who is currently in Cairo: "We call for a unified Arab stance to rescue the Iraqi people and Arabism, which he called 'the occupation and Iranian interference in Iraq.' Ali added in a statement following a meeting with Ahmed Aboul Gheit "We have come to Cairo to call for a unified Arab stance spearheaded by Egypt to save Iraq and its people from the 'Iranian occupation' as he put it.

He stressed that "We want to confront Iran and sized in Iraq." He pointed out that "If Iran occupied Iraq occupied the rest of the Arab countries" as he put it. He said "We must unite the Arabs and maybe their project and consolidated their position."


That's lucid enough to be getting on with, I’d say, or at least it makes rather more sense than Cartoono the Magnificent has been making the last couple of days. "Sized in Iraq" may be a bit puzzling, though: ’innaná nurídu mujábahata ’Írán wa tahjímahá fí l-‘Iráqi -- they wanna have a showdown with the evil Qommies and run the varmints out of Peaceful Freedumbia, tails between legs.[1]

The urgency of "a unified Arab stance to rescue the Iraqi people and Arabism" is plain enough, once you trivially decode "Arab" into "Sunninterní." What a pickle the TwentyPercenters would find themselves in, after all, if poor M. al-Málikí was to rescue the Iraqi people and Arabism! ’Tis frightful just to think of it, Mr. Bones.

I trust, sir, that you do not have to keep reminding yourself as I must that the Logan Act does not apply to foreigners?

This is in any event the sort of mistake that one can tolerate from Google Gibberish.
