Shit, are they leaving the square?
Egypt is going to be the shitstorm of the decade if the army doesn't take the side of the people FAST.
If they start mass killing civilians, the U.S. Army is going to get involved, I think.
[QUOTE=HolyCrusade;27976113]He's a lucky bastard, he's survived 6 assassination attempts in his 30 years as president.[/QUOTE] But will he survive the 7'th?
[QUOTE=Shadowstone;27976109]He never noticed a threat of revolt because of his ruling style. They've been oppressed for 30 years, and only now, because of Tunisia, they are rising up against him.[/QUOTE] But even after the protests began he could have stepped down, yet he still now refused to. He could have ended this peacefully but chose not to.
[QUOTE=Fatman55;27976150]If they start mass killing civilians, the U.S. Army is going to get involved, I think.[/QUOTE] The U.S. wouldn't use millitary force, we're already expended enough as it is.
[QUOTE=orgornot;27976156]But even after the protests began he could have stepped down, yet he still now refused to. He could have ended this peacefully but chose not to.[/QUOTE] He just wants to keep his power. Although now that he's transferred authorities to Suleiman, he still has his grip.
If Egypt has a revolution they will end up with the same government as before.
[QUOTE=Foo King;27976176]The U.S. wouldn't use millitary force, we're already expended enough as it is.[/QUOTE] If they're killing civilians in the millions, then yes, force is needed.
Worst case will be him reinstating martial law. Then the military will come out and mow everyone down.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27976211]If Egypt has a revolution they will end up with the same government as before.[/QUOTE] Yeah... no.
[QUOTE=Fatman55;27976214]If they're killing civilians in the millions, then yes, force is needed.[/QUOTE] There are mass civilian killings all over the world, look at Sudan. We won't be the ones to use force, there will just be a statement strongly urging against it. That's politics.
[QUOTE=lou fog;27976244]looks like you dont know anything about politics and politicians[/QUOTE] Looks like you don't know if it matters when MILLIONS WANT YOU GONE.
[QUOTE=Fatman55;27976214]If they're killing civilians in the millions, then yes, force is needed.[/QUOTE] I think America has been bloody world police for far too long, acting all cool now. Don't know how much you know about 1991 in Lithuania and "The American Radio", but if you do know something, you wouldn't say anything now.
[QUOTE=Miskav;27976264]Yeah... no.[/QUOTE] The clue is in the word "Revolution".
[Update 11:20 p.m. in Cairo, 4:20 p.m. ET] Some protesters begin to leave Cairo's Tahrir Square in the direction of the presidential palace, CNN's Ivan Watson reports.
[QUOTE=Fatman55;27976214]If they're killing civilians in the millions, then yes, force is needed.[/QUOTE] It's counter productive. Like the american civil war made a crack in the American hearts and minds (and this still exist today) And there would be less tax payers, so they would have to cut down unfortunately.

Don't know how much you know about 1991 in Lithuania and "The American Radio", but if you do know something, you wouldn't say anything now.[/QUOTE] I didn't know about that, I'll shut up now.
[QUOTE=Foo King;27976266]There are mass civilian killings all over the world, look at Sudan. We won't be the ones to use force, there will just be a statement strongly urging against it. That's politics.[/QUOTE] There's 1 huge difference. Sudan doesn't have intimate ties to the US, The US government hasn't supported Sudan's actions for decades.
Seems like no response from Washington. Mubarak was pretty radical with his responses: nobody is going to dictate us! Wonder what is going to happen. For USA, Egypt is a great ally in the middle-east. I wonder how this affects their relations. Also, watch Al Jazeera now: [url]http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/[/url]
So what kind of arsenal does that "Northen military base" have?
[QUOTE=Miskav;27976366]There's 1 huge difference. Sudan doesn't have intimate ties to the US, The US government hasn't supported Sudan's actions for decades.[/QUOTE] Sudan was just one example, it would be absolutely stuipd on the international level. The U.S. will NOT get involved, mark my word.
Looks like people are going towards the TV station.
People are marching on the TV station
EDIT: Omar suleiman is on tv
What is this guy saying?

[QUOTE=Fatman55;27976440]What is this guy saying?[/QUOTE] "Bla bla bla bla bla, I'm a puppet, bla bla bla bla bla, Mubarak's cock is deep inside my rectum"
Bla bla bla! SAME SHIT!
