Mubarak reminds me of Darth Vadar and scene with the Princess when she cautions him about strangling the more the people will fight....don't remember exact quote as is obvious. He indeed is an egyptian Darth Vadar

kylegravlin‎ RT @BreakingNews: Mubarak and his family have left Cairo, sources tell NBC News; Israel TV says they're going to Sharm el Sheik in southern Egypt

If those reported figures are correct (sure hope so), I don't see the "vested interests" putting a lid on this no matter what they do. Even if they go through some exercise of installing Sillyman, the people will continue to resists, as I think they should.

I am trying to count up the figures from all the different protests on the wires to see if that figure holds up. I am at 4 million so far, so I believe there may be validity to this, even with a strong sense of caution we could say 5 or 6 million

if UAE is true, makes one wonder why Israel TV says they're going to Sharm

Even if they can't take it over and use it, they could neutralize it by shutting down electrical power.

Not doubting you one bit, just to be clear. You are doing a great job. BTW, when you get a chance I sent you a PM (no biggie).

ok the presidential plane is not in its normal parking area - location currently unknown. It might have gone somewhere to avoid being attacked. No confirmation on it going anywhere with Mubbers aboard, but always possible. Nothing either way, apart from the fact it has relocated somewhere

gosh no, I know you are not doubting me, but when I get this figures from the wires I try and validate them as best as I can. I try not to take things at face value as checking is part of my job

Al Arabiya: text messages being sent from the Egyptian Military about a third statement to be issued today

!!!

In 1 voice, the crowd is shouting "I want my rights, Hosni robbed me" http://yfrog.com/h3vy7zj

I can only imagine the electricity coming from this crowd!!!


Lurker: deal! ::

Hopefully we are watching the last moments of the old regime and the beginnings of a new democracy that can be a shining example for all the other opressed nations of not only the Middle East but the rest of the world.

Good Morn' All! The Site is comin' along very well, thank you LLL & Mary. I've just got caught up today on the thread, but something plauges me. Do the protestors have a front man? Is it the Google executive whom they want to represent them after they take down the Gov't?
