1. What's stopping him?

[JoePhilly]

3. Sounds like he is setting the stage.

[CTyankee]

7. Yup. He'll be on an Air France flight soon to his new apartment in a swanky

section of Paris.

Egypt was getting so boring anyway...

[sufrommich]

10. No western country will take him. They all remember Iran,

lesson learned.

[CTyankee]

11. Ihope you are right. No western country should...

[Javaman]

12. Ego. nt

2. here's your hat -- too bad you can't stay longer. nt

[Cleita]

4. I'll take up a collection to pay his fare. n/t

5. "public service"

I sense a translation error. In my dictionary, despotism is nowhere near public service.

[SpiralHawk]

6. That makes it unanimous

...except, for course for Sarah Palin and her TeaThuggians (R) who have taken an uncompromising stand against freedom, dignity, honesty, decency, and basic human rights.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Guess he wants to make it seem like it was his idea.....

in order to save face. That's fine by me...and I'm sure it is fine by
the millions of Egyptians who are also fed up. Looks like everyone is
on the same page then. :shrug:

9. Mubarak is a fucking smarmy liar!

He said he wanted to leave office but feared chaos. WTF! He caused
the chaos; his paid thugs and security forces are causing the violence.

Then he said he blamed the Muslim Brotherhood. WTF again. The MB
has had nothing to do with the violence.

Sad.
