4. LOL... much being made about this, but Hosni lives in Sharm el Sheikh

most of the time and has for years.

[Raschel]

12. Still, it's another slap in the face to the protesters. "I'll be lounging at my luxurious resort

home while you peons trouble yourself."

I'll say one thing for him, he knows how to piss people off, and is turning the rest of the world against him while he's at it. (which is good, of course)

[chimpymustgo]

13. Still, he's getting hell out of Dodge.

Al-Arabiya: Mubarak, family arrive in Sharm el-Sheikh
Published: 02.11.11, 15:41 / Israel News


Al-Arabiya television reported on Friday that President Hosni Mubarak and his family had left Cairo from a military airbase in the suburbs and may have gone to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

It did not give a source for the series of reports on the movement of the president and his family. It said the report that Mubarak had gone to Sharm el-Sheikh was "unconfirmed". (Reuters)

6. Mubarak probably putting together a plan involving sharks with

laser beams on their heads!

[Marblehead]

11. he is worth

$70 billion

19. I thought it was 40?

Come on.

[Raschel]

14. Valentine's day is coming up. Maybe someone could send him a candy gram, via SNL land shark.

7. That's like leaving the White House for Camp David

[spanone]

8. yep, a pundit on m$nbc says he spends about half the year there

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. Yep.... or hiding out at Crawford Texas

Mostly European tourists getting some needed sun down there.
Luxury hotels, mid level hotels etc.

Then there are some hugh villas there.

[Raschel]

17. I could see that one. Walking through the bluebells hand in hand with GW.

[Badfish]

10. Exactly.

Here he is doing business in Sharm el Sheikh

[Catherina]

15. My bet is that's disinfo. Sources for that are NDP & Israel

Egyptian sources say his plane headed to UAE and Christian Amanpour was told he left the country. :shrug:

If I lose, $50 in your name to nearest homeless shelter

[Catherina]

16. This just came across: Strange that State TV reports Foreign sources say #Mubarak has gone to Sharm.

18. Well...

...after insulting Egypt yesterday there isn't much left for him to do except order the loyal armed units to open fire and pray or run. Lets hope he makes the right choise.
