reply to post by Regenmacher


I don't care what you believe because I have mates on the ground in Cairo WITH phones and Al Jazeera is pretty much backing them up.

Crowds ARE celebrating from where I'm sitting!!!

Perhaps you Americans not happy everyone else outside the USA know more than you. Your President has locked you from open and free media live stream since the beginning of the Egyptian Revolution. Of course you don't believe anything anyone outside your country tells you. Thats why you're so delayed with whats going on around the world as it happens.

Here's a hint why.....to lock you from your president's behaviour playing Mubarak and the demonstrators at the same time. I know, I watched it - and Clinton was worse.

hahahahahahaha thats funny! LOL

ahhhh, no. American news media has not been intirely truthful throughout this whole revolution.

The "AP" is the Associated Press, it's worldwide.

OMG...really? You're going there? Don't turn this in to an Anti-American thread. This isn't the place for that junk. Not at all.
Back to whats important here...the truth and whats happening in Egypt....

BREAKING: Area around Egypt's presidential compound being surrounded by tanks & razor wire, reports NBC's Richard Engel.

I know I know VOA but....

Obama Urges Mubarak to Begin Transition Now

U.S. President Barack Obama is urging Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to immediately begin the process of handing over power, but the U.S. leader stopped short of calling for Mr. Mubarak to leave office right now.

Mr. Obama said the future of Egypt must be determined by its people. He said the world is watching the events in Egypt and said this moment of turmoil should be turned into a moment of opportunity.

Maybe Obama is trying to tell him something indirectly through the media?

It won't happen; there will be no blood spelt tonight or any other night in Egypt.

Its obvious to me most of you don't know the Egyptian people. A majority of the Egyptians are a peaceful people; they are intelligent enough to know whats going on both in and outside Egypt.

My guess is, none of you have ever seen such a mega Revolution of so many demonstrators in your whole lives; and their yelling in Arabic would seem scarey and alarming to Western people but believe me it's nothing.

You got that part correct!

Any thoughts on how this all ties into the "leaked" report that Saudi Arabia warned President Obama not to humiliate Mubarak? I just find it odd that, that news was out this morning and now there are rumors that Mubarak will step down.

Regenmacher is deutsche for rainmaker and that's a swiss flag patch in my Avatar. You suffer from blind assumptions.


Al Jazeera is based in Qatar and is still saying Mubarek may step down.

Police have started to pull back from Tahrir to 'prepare for any scenario' when and if Mubarak speaks according to those on the ground,

That sort of behavior would indicate Mubarek isn't going to say what they want to hear. Add on the TV station being evac'ed for even more reason to think twice.

Oh no, I don't like the sound of this at all.

I am so concerned for the protestors - my heart goes out to each and everyone!

the information minister (If you can count on his word)

States that The president will not step down tonight.

But lets wait and see what he has to say for himself,

Sounds like they're expecting something that they can't handle or are pulling back for self-preservation. Either way, not a promising reaction.

I'm not turning this in to an anti American thread at all, many of you are turning this in to a negative thread of Egyptians.

I watched this revolution since the very first day and many millions of us watched Obama and Clinton's behaviour since they opened their mouths. Immediately afterwards, came Netanyahu's.

The three supported Mubarak for the first few days then fell short of supporting the demonstrators then next came the support of the demonstrators but did'nt put pressure on Mubarak then a week later they did.

Obama and Clinton showed little crediability until after a week and even then it was weak at best.

UPDATE:


Egyptian state TV is reporting that Mubarak will speak at 10 p.m. (3 p.m. ET)


buying some time?

Even still...this thread is NOT for discussing opinions about the American Government and its alleged media blackouts. Moving along.....

No minister is in power, they can say all they want but I know for a fact there has been a military coup and the Supreme Council of Military Chiefs ARE in charge.

I dont think i have seen once on this thread a negative look on Egyptians? I think we pretty much all support what they are doing, But have concern for the people who are on the ground,

the negative has been towards there president and the fact that we all feel that he could flip flop on this and intern hurt the people more.
