OK so I was mistaken. Imagine how the crowd feels about it?

big surprise there...what kind of speech was that? 

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Thank you for all the kind support over the years. I see now that my services are no longer wanted nor required, and it is time for me to step down and let someone else have a go at running the country. NOT!!!!!

I don't think you were the only one. And he made it on a Thursday evening, just before Friday prayers, when things will really be hectic. Not great timing.Crumple wrote:OK so I was mistaken. Imagine how the crowd feels about it?

what did he say about removing some parts of the constitution? I'm thinking he's playing a game - trying to get the crowd going so he can send the troops in a heavy-hand fashion?klr wrote:I don't think you were the only one.

I haven't a clue what most of it was about, only that the crowd weren't happy. I hope it doesn't get nasty.Crumple wrote: what did he say about removing some parts of the constitution?

Anybody want to place bets on when the crowd will finally decide to move from the square to the Presidential palace and overthrow Hosni, Louis XVI-style? I think by the time that happens, the army won't interfere.

Most analysts don't think the army is on Mubarek's side. By that interpretation, Mubarek is basically daring the army to stage a coup, I guess.Crumple wrote:what did he say about removing some parts of the constitution?

I think he only needs a control structure.

Well, the army is now guarding the Presidential palace.
