nope i dont think so turk the military is no longer under him, that changed today. i think the military will have the final say in this and i doubt and i stress on doubt the military will go against the people.

It's not something can change in a day. I think people should not trust army so much. There are countries suffered by their own armies more than their enemies.

now the people are heading to the media ministry building this is happening.

 

[ReBeL]

Ok. now I understand the US approach in this...

They are trying to use this stubborn idiot for the longest time. After that, they will use the card of the puppet Omar Suleiman. After that, people will get tired and will be satisifed with whoever comes from the army to implement US agenda, whether he will be Anan, or Tantawi. SO, at all the scenarios, Americans will win as long one of these 4 puppets will rule.

Nobody will harm Mubarak. USA would never allow it, because they could never find a collaborator after leaving their man to his fate like that.

From Al Jazeera's live blog:

John Bradley, author of Inside Egypt: The Land Of The Pharoahs On The Brink Of A Revolution, tells us: "The revolution starts tomorrow. We will see unprecedented numbers of Egyptians on the streets."

I hope you're right but for some reason I doubt it - the army has been sucking the country dry for decades, whether tens or millions are up against them, the upper echelons of the army will not simply give up their business interests for the good of everyone - they have been looking after their own good for years - they're addicted to it - they simply cannot change no matter what...

From the Guardian:

Mubarak's address was watched by President Obama onboard Air Force One. He is planning to go straight from his plane to meet with his national security team at the White House.

"This is not what the [US] administration was told President Mubarak was going to do," reports CNN political correspondent John King.

 

[Bjerknes]

Who seriously believed he would step down today?

Come on. He's not going anywhere unless forcefully removed.

Even if he steps down who's going to make the military step back? That's the real question.

From the Guardian:

This is interesting: the BBC's Paul Adams reports that people in Cairo are receiving text messages from the high council of the army, saying that it is monitoring how events unfold and will decide how to act.

From BBC:

Reacting to the latest developments, France's President Nicolas Sarkozy says: "I hope with all my heart for Egypt's nascent democracy that they take time to create the structures and principles that will help them find the path to democracy and not another form of dicatorship, religious dicatorship, like what happened in Iran."

This guy obviously has zero understanding of Egypt - why didn't he include "and no porn-star presidents" like himself and Berlusconi?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Berlusconi is not a president.

 

[Nedvěd]

If I'm going to make a glue company, I'll name my elite product 'Mubarak', it sticks forever.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Or a condom with message 'he never breaks'.

 

[Martin]

Berlusconi is not a president.

Actually, his title is President of the Council of Ministers. It's not what is ordinarily meant by the title of president, but you can't deny it.
