Like a bawse.

A /whoosh is in order.

The idea that FLW is overrated is overrated.

Also, to the rest: no thanks.

And honestly, what is this? You're saying I use the same stuf all the time? You recycle your material more than the ******* green party. You've been using the same generic constructions for years. Even the farce of the thing can scarcely salvage it anymore.

You're growing on me, son.

Smash is wasted on cough syrup.

Totalitarian or false democracy.

The Egyptian leadership are getting fed up with America telling them what to do ever since the beginning of the protest. Granted, the US government basically just follow where the wind blows. In the beginning they were cautious as the wind could blow either way, but when the protests escalated, they then decided to use more forceful language to make demands. I suspect the Egyptian leadership is tired of the US' flip-flopping, lack of stand on the issue, their desperation to look like they are with the people, and of course, their insatiable desire to poke their nose in other government's internal affairs to play big brother.

Although I don't support the Egyptian government, I think the US leadership should really STFU and stop pissing the world off with that big brother attitude.

So you're saying that the US is making these demands to Egypt because it wants a stable, pro-US Egypt, for US interests in the region? But if that is the case, shouldn't Obama be rooting for Mubarak to stay in power until September so he can do a transition in a stable manner? Instead the US has been demanding Mubarak to 'listen to the people' and begin transition of power 'immediately'. Nobody knows what will happen if Mubarak suddenly steps down, and without Mubarak overseeing the transition of power, there is a chance that the next government could be anti-US.

Furthermore, the US making these demands to Egypt is just stupid and will like backfire. While the US never directly called for Mubarak to step down, it is clearly insinuated - telling Mubarak to listen to the people (the main thing the people are calling for is Mubarak stepping down), and demanding immediate transition of power. Everyone has pride and dignity, including Mubarak. If US had kept its mouth shut and Mubarak decides to step down, he can make a speech about respecting the people's wishes and is stepping down for the country's unity blah blah blah, and be able to resign with some dignity. However, now that the US has been making these demands, if Mubarak steps down now, many people/countries will think Mubarak stepped down due to a foreign country's demands - he refused to step down during these 2-3 weeks of massive protests, but steps down once the US starts making these demands. Mubarak will not have a shred of dignity left and will become a laughing stock in the history books. There is no way that Mubarak's pride would allow him to do anything that the US demands in public.

Jophed,

LMAO...more like Mubarak telling barry to mind his own d*mn business and barry stuttering apologies.



You're boy barry is proving to be a major disaster and embarassment to the US. No wonder you're so testy lately.

Why didn't Mubarak want to step down as president?

HE WAS IN DE NILE
