awepittance Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) http://www.thenewage.co.za/10182-1019-53-'Strong_likelihood'_Mubarak_to_go_within_hours_CIA to sum it up and to answer your question directly, either the CIA director believed Mubarak was actually going to go (non cynical view) or he tried to sway the media coverage into giving the supposed Mubarak step-down speech more weight in order to take some energy out of the protests (cynical view) of course these aren't the only two possibilities, just the ones that come to mind. The CIA and Whitehouse have egg on their faces now and are quickly jumping back on board the anti mubarak side claiming he didn't keep his promise. (mind you these are all very recent, within the last 4 hours developments, after Chaosmachine posted that, he made his speech and it was clear he wasn't actually stepping down as assumed) in case you missed it - On 2/10/2011 at 8:24 PM, chaosmachine said: Quote CAIRO - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak appears poised to cede power after 17 days of massive citizen demonstrations, with the country's military saying the longtime leader would meet protesters' demands and CIA director Leon Panetta saying Mubarak could step aside as soon as Thursday night. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/10/AR2011021003134.html edit: and to clarify, my personal view is the cynical one Edited February 10, 2011 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/63380-the-revolution-in-egypt-mubarak-resigns/page/8/#findComment-1514130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcinsu Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Because even people in powerful positions are too self-absorbed to keep their mouths shut? Dunno.

I am in a constant state of snickering since the VP is named Omar Suleiman...if only!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgRUHIeaKOk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK15uu1mfVE i know, the name for me is too similar not to find it funny. Next possible conflict in this, the march is going towards the presidential palace i think as i type this. Apparently the guards that surround the palace are not aligned with the same military agenda as the rest of the command, so it seems a definite possibility we could see another wave of violence, this time could be more intense. Have to give props to Rachel Maddow again who continues to be the only american mainstream media show giving all the necessary details and scope of what's going on.

Guest mohamed Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 the bastard now relies on the fact that people call him a puppet. obama says he's with the people. so he won't resign, cos he says he doesn't take order from the outside. simple math. there's no hidden, huge, obscure power. simple math. the one that can get the people too. if there will be blood, it's going to be blood in america, and israil too.
