Dude doesnt sound like he's stepping down

Quote from Hello:

The thing i dont get is why Mubarak wont step down. It is no longer an argument of who is better or who is worse. At this point the fact is that Mubarak and his family looted 70 billion from egypt, you would think they would be anxious to hang on to their loot, as there is no chance in hell they will hold control of egypt, It all seems pretty brazen in my eyes.

Why cause a scene when you know your days are numbered anyways. These thieves could have made out like a burgalar in the midst of night, and kept all the dollars they have stolen. It just seems incredibly irrational at this point to try to hold on to an impossibility.

If he is overthrown or forced out, the new government could go after him, his family and his loot like they did to Bin Ali of Tunisia.

On the other hand, he is hoping that, in the next 7 months, he could fix the deck in his favor and, wel, "Retire" as any other president retires.

Perhaps other Arab leaders are telling him not to just walk away because they don't want Egypt to set a precedence and have this protest thing spread to other Arab nations.

Tunisia did already.
 
LMAO@ "Strong performance in the war against Israel". Egypt had their asses handed to them by Israel, along with about 5 other Arab nations at the same time...

I'm watching the dancing Arabs in the street on television now. It looks much like the dancing Arabs when the Americans took out Saddam, and we all know what happened after that....

It's so hilarious all of emotional displays, all of the tears, as if some oppressive sadistic dictator had just been displaced when the fact is that Egypt was one of the most secular and free Arab states in existence. This is all such a transparent ruse I don't get how anyone thinks it's organic...

Quote from trefoil:

No, this may come as a surprise to most of you, but you know, Egypt is an actual, like, country, and it's got, you know, patriots.
From Wikipedia:



As far as he's concerned, he's a war hero, and he is going to die and be buried in the land he served.
