On Thursday February 10, 2011, the world waited with baited breath for the expected resignation of President Mubarak of Egypt. His response was to delegate unspecified powers to his Vice President and a promise to stay till September to hand over! The protesters be damned! Wow!! The man is really tough!!!
It is clear that he has forgotten how to take orders after years of issuing them. It must have been an extremely bitter pill for him to swallow when his plans for his favorite son, Gamal, were completely derailed by Gamal's resignation from the ruling party's executive organs. And to have an internal dissident now appointed as Secretary-General of the party must have been something else. Even with his family safely in London, he has a lot on his plate after a long, long couple of weeks. Obama is "complicating" things by his "unhelpful" suggestions. Mubarak must be wishing he will shut up and concentrate of finding suitable a asylum if need be.
He has enough influence in the military for them to hesitate to overthrow him. If the army cannot kick him out, then Egyptians have some distance to cover to see the end of this sit-tight-guy. How many more Egyptians must die before this idiot figures things out? May the Almighty protect Egyptians and grant them the wisdom to resolve the current situation. And some of the same for Tunisia, Yemen, DR Congo, Ivory Coast, Somalia etc.
P.S. Ben Ali of Tunisia is an ok-guy comparatively! And I thought he was a really bad guy! Hey, Tunisians! Do you now want to revise you opinion of your corrupt ex-Prez?!
