Hosni Mubarek is "Dished, Diddled and DONE!"
If the Egyptian army is publicly swearing off the use of force against the demonstrators, then with what hold does Mubarek have over the pending negotiation process?
None.
Sounds like the High Command superceded his sick old self, likely they are already casting around for a suitably vigorous & legitimate successor.
One thing is for sure, it ain't gonna be Mubarek's ne'er do well eldest son.
Egypt has its problems but at least it isn't Syria with it's Supreme Opthalmalocrat,AKA the surviving Son of the Late President for Life Hafez El Assad.
So it is no accident that the Muslim Brotherhood has suddenly hit the streets, the coast is clear so to speak...
I give Mubarek a week before he is bundled onto a jetliner and flow into exile in say...Madrid.
Up until yesterday he still had a chance at a "DeGaulle moment" but that depended on picking off the loyalty or at least the fear of the Egyptian middle class and holding club of the army over the proceedings...Both axes of his policy are busted up good at this point.
My only question is, how big a playa will the army be in the succession negotiations? Can they get another General in there or will the demonstrators be able to force the issue?
We will soon find out.
