2. Any time a Dictator uses ' good solution' in a speech
makes me dubious after hearing about a so called 'final solution'

4. I got the impression that's the very phrase used in the press release because
Andrea Mitchell said 'quote, a good solution'.

He's impotent, nobody will be listening.

10. MSNBC said they didn't have a time, so apparently it wasn't forthcoming from the soon to be
former "President".

:hi:

7. the only good solution
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 02:00 PM by bdamomma
would be, if he just stepped aside, or will he just say he will not seek re election, the Egyptians are not going to take that.

11. They're just guessing now but they were supposing he'd say he won't run
for reelection. So what would his good solution be -- prime his new VP to take over when he resigns in 2012? I don't think so, dude.

At this point he's not calling the shots -- the people are.

8. It appears that
any solution he offers is now clearly for himself.

From what the people of Egypt are making a clear point about, there is only one solution to him being the problem and that is: step down immediately!

12. I think Baradei said there will be no talking between opposition parties until
Mubarak has left the country.
