Figures you would quote an opportunist who hasn’t been in Egypt for decades. Who cares what he thinks? The Egyptians certainly don’t.

moti, “America” is involved. The effort to promote supporters of rendition, Israel, and Coca-Cola and BP from the ranks of the US paid military into positions from which they could co-opt the movement is hardly much of a secret.

Gamal Mubarak should wake up from his dream of a lifetime president of Egypt post inheritance from his father, run to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and ask for asylum to the U.S. This is probably a more realistic scenario.

1) Rapidly modernizing nation
2) Evermore repressive government
3) Match to gasoline
The young adults of Egypt have seen the modern world, and won’t be pushed back into a cave.

As for the U.S., ElBaradei said the leadership had fallen short of Egyptians’ expectations.
“What is … very disappointing to the Egyptian people is the message coming from the U.S., which is saying that we are going to work with the Egyptian people and with the government,” he said. “Well, you have to make a choice. This is an authoritarian government and on the other hand the people have been deprived of their freedom for 58 years.”
