Whatever !

The Military Headquarters as well as the Intelligence Headquarters & Interior Headquarters are in Cairo and the Presidential Palace is in Alexandria; I know because I spent along time in Egypt.

The Presidential Palace is in ALEXANDRIA, not Cairo !!!!!!

The official residence and office of the president is Abdeen Palace, in Old Cairo, Cairo. Other presidential palaces include:

* Heliopolis Palace, in Cairo
* Ras Al-Teen Palace, in Alexandria
* Montaza Palace, in Alexandria

President will address the people live from Cairo.

Oh for gods sake.......Mubarak has palaces all over Egypt but his PRESIDENTIAL Palace is in Alexandria; thats where ALL his mates around the Middle East stay.

Anyone else suspect that al jazeera is broadcasting false information to "try" and make protesters and supporters happy and content....while the rest of the worlds MSM is actually telling the correct information? Yeah, I suspect that.

Reports say Mubarak speech can come as soon as in 30 minutes so keep your ears open,

I don't think so; I'm positive and more optimistic probably because I know the Egyptians and their culture well enough to know they are NOT going to go the same way of Tunisia......or Iran!

You may know their culture, but when ever you get the “brotherhood” (may eternal torment be upon them) involved, then all bets are off.

edit on 10-2-2011 by bluemirage5 because: note

Sky's chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay, in Cairo, said: "We are hearing that Mr Mubarak will address the nation from the presidential palace in Cairo around 6.30pm GMT."

You need to start backing up all your text with links. I hardly believe a thing you have to say.


Al Jazeera still showing the crowd in protest mode.

NDP's Fiki sounds like he's in the men's room......hahahahahaha

If he doesn't leave now ,this night there will be so much blood

IMO and some others feel the same - this is a set up. They want the people to riot - they have been saying for days they won't let the protests continue much longer, now it appears they have a plan.

I'm thinking the same. The question is are they planning on that?

I honestly believe they are planning that. This is all too convenient and sudden.

I like that. I may start using it if you don't mind.

I hope not , Mubarak is on full public "pressure " from all major west countries and i doubt he will trying to hold his positions .

Statment from the brotherhood

Muslim Brotherhood tells Reuters it fears a military coup. "It looks like a military coup ... I feel worry and anxiety."

I'm not entirely convinced that would be a bad thing. The military has already expressed through inaction they are not supporters of the current regime. The military personnel all have families in Egypt and they themselves are Egyptians. I would almost rather see that at this point rather than the VP take hold of the reigns. I think the Muslim Brotherhood is scared they would lose whatever influence they have if a military presence was in charge.

Then again, their military may just be as bad as Hosni. The only guaranteed path of freedom is if they go through a week of anarchy with NO government while they hold elections and then move from there.
