N.O.R.F Posted January 28, 2011 Duke, I doubt the Indians are aware of what is happening in North Africa. Hosni will make promises and it will all be back to work next week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems that someone has found his daughter's Facebook account and they were not happy with what they found. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted January 28, 2011 Norf, nothing will stay the same. There is great change in the Arab & third world, things have forever changed. This has never happened in Tunisia & now Egypt. Tyrants are being forced to make concessions, not to Washington but to the Arab street... Che, Indians might run Dubai soon, they are the majority after all..

General Duke Posted January 28, 2011 lol@NGoonge, El Baradei is the western choice, they are pushing him down the thorats of the people. He is not the reveloution, and will not win an open election. We know which part will come out strong in Egypt.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted January 28, 2011 I doubt much will change in Egypt. Promises will be made and the people will be calm down once prisoners are released and money pumped into infrsatructure. Egypt isn't Tunisia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted January 28, 2011 Norf, once the fear is gone, things will change. Mubarak has never faced this, he is also very old and his well laid plans are in ruins this evening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted January 28, 2011 He is a broken man today. After 30 years for it to end up like this? Military men are based on the projection of power. Today he has no power to stop a demo in the middle of the night in the most important cities in the country... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted January 28, 2011 The Associated Press reports on the scene in Cairo's central plaza: An Associated Press reporter saw the protesters cheering the police who joined them and hoisting them on their shoulders in one of the many dramatic and chaotic scenes across Egypt on Friday. After chasing the police, thousands of protesters were able to flood into the huge Tahrir Square downtown after being kept out most of the day by a very heavy police presence. Few police could be seen around the square after the confrontation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted January 28, 2011 The US position It looks to me as if Clinton is angling for a negotiated departure by Mubarak, accompanied by an increase in political freedom. I think the US is aiming to structure the solution in a way that would protect its key interests: the peace treaty with Israel, the Suez canal, and co-operation against terrorism.
