Quote from Rearden Metal:
ElBaradei in the leader's seat is still the best possible result here, don't you think? If Elbaradei isn't governing Egypt next year, you can be sure it'll be someone much worse, not better.
He is coming in too late. Furthermore, the Egyptian people and opposition will never forgive him the fact that he lied about Iraq's WMD and in a way lead to Iraq's invasion.
