A platoon is only 36 soldiers.
Likely they're just there to help keep the embassy and consulates safe.

I am really surprised that western media has given you this image as a pro!!! against anti fight. Think about it a little bit, you have anti who are standing in a certain place " Tahrir Square" and you find some " they told you they are pro" trying to enter the square and attacking them.
... So thx for it 
Quote from bearice:
The Mubarak regime has been an important ally of Israel and the U.S. in the region and its collapse would be a great strategic loss for the two countries.
Quote from RewriteQuran:
Only people having will, wisdom & resources should be allowed to vote in elections.
Quote from The RainMaker:
Firstly I would like to hope that the night will bring light to those in this tragedy. Secondly, I have to say, that it's not the fault of anyone one the side of liberty if these guys are retarded.
Then I pray that before the sun raises over the Nile a new solution will have been found. I hope that the supreme military concil of Egypt realises in which situation they are putting their own brothers and sisters, famillies and country. Finally there are great thing in life that are worth fighting for and clearly need to be.
I am not an Egyptian, so it's only an advice:
Leave tonight for your palace in Sharmalsheik, keep a few Millons $ and give all the rest (70B at least + the other palaces ) to the supreme concil, resign of all political-financial life, all before the first prayer.
When the light of the sun will shine on the face of the sphynx it will be to late... And that it's not an advice, it's a warning.
Quote from mcgene4xpro:
I am an Egyptian so i will tell some relevant opinions regarding the situation. I hope those opinions are right.
Simply, We, Egyptians, are looking for the legitimacy of the regime/person who will come after mubarak.. We had 2 legitimacies before, July1952 and October 6, 1973 ones. The first was the revolution to turn Egypt as republic after kingdom. The second to regain our land by a legitimate war.
So, Mubarak was governing Egypt according to the second legitimacy. However, now we asked who will govern and according to which legitimacy..
The answer that Egyptians want is " Election Box" legitimacy.. That is it.
Situation now..
1-We know that Mubarak is a burnt card now.
2- We know the game now between the Egyptian people and USA/USA allies/USA agents.
3-We know that USA/USA allies are backing the regime.
4-We know we , Egypt, is the big stone in the domino.
5-We know we might even inspire the free people in the west about certain issues.
This game is tough..
The players now are:
1- People
2-Regime/USA
3-Army
Now the army is playing soft by letting the protesters take land and gain more. Protesters are winning by keeping it peacefully. USA put themselves behind the Egyptian army. this is very pressing moment on the army.. However, if we continue play soft and peacefully, we will gain more and the international and national criminals are losing..
Dangers:
1- When USA realize the situation is not going to its interest, they will change their tactic to stop its spread by make it unpleasant/ costly for any people would take the Egyptian road.
2- ... there are many dangers i will talk about later.. i need to sleep..
LOL
Thanks
