Breaking from AJE- he will apologize for the deaths

[malaise]

and injuries, will transfer power to Suleiman but will not stand aside, will change five sections of the constitution and will remove the 30 year martial law.

Word is he has no intention of stepping down - from AJE - they are reading wire reports of what he'll say.

Will speak any moment now - for the gazillionth time.

1. IMO the crowd will go nuts if he says this ... n/t

[malaise]

4. Nuts won't describe what will happen if he doesn't resign

but hey the military won't let him get in the way.

[RKP5637]

25. Seeing what's happened I'm wondering now if there will be a divide in the

military. I heard the younger commanders might not be in agreement with the senior military. Mubarak didn't say anything but the same old sh**. Sounds like the VP is saying the same sh** too.

[madmax]

5. To say the very least.

If that were the intention I would imagine that there would be a massive military presence. Is there? :shrug:

[RKP5637]

24. I had heard earlier tanks and razor wire were surrounding the palace and tanks

outside of the square, but I have no idea to what extent. IMO Mubarak has handled this extremely poorly, but then again he is a dictator, so IMO to have been pretty much expected as we see now.

18. They're throwing shoes and shouting

Get out! He shall leave

2. He should do more than apologize-those were his goons.

[malaise]

21. He did pass power to Suleiman

Ron Paul is on M$NBCompast. I do love his foreign policy approach.
Says the US will just line up with the next dictator. Bring the troops home. Says the US has wasted 70plus billion dollars and he's expecting chaos in Egypt.

3. this could really get ugly

[malaise]

7. They're singing the National Anthem

and yes it can get ugly.

Here he comes.

[lamp_shade]

6. They were quoting "rumors" from another TV channel.

[malaise]

10. So far so good

He starts with the apology to the dead and injured.

This man is clueless - the people don't care anymore.

determined to fulfill all the promises - demands lawful and legitimate.
The fucker is begging.

[cal04]

8. talking now, taking no orders from outside

I will not run the coming elections

[sufrommich]

9. Reports are that he will also say that he "won't take orders

from outsiders".He's trying to imply that only "outside forces" want him to leave. I'll give him this, he's going to try every ploy he has before he leaves.

[malaise]

14. His own folks will execute him

Watch and see. He's fucking crazy.

[Horse with no Name]

20. And if they do

So be it.

[madmax]

11. OMG he's not going to step aside!

That's what it sounds like to me.

[malaise]

13. You're right but it's still

And he will not accept orders from outside.

He can now expect a bullet from one of his military pals.

[thewiseguy]

12. They were taking orders from you asshole

[malaise]

16. Just wait for the shouts from Tahrir Square

They have begun already

Dictators have an amazing capacity to fool themselves and be oblivious to reality. As #Mubarak is showing.

By fulminating against outside pressure, Mubarak may have helped the US, & made us look like we're trying to push him out.
