2. So this is what a real media is like...

No wonder the US military shot a missile at them.

I've been glued to the screen for hours.

5. Same here. I haven't slept yet

Don't know how much longer I can go

8. It is inspiring.

Revolutions have always occurred.

The governments always think they are in control until the shit hits the fan.

Any country, you never know. Maybe even the US if things get worse.

ESPECIALLY if they took away the internet.

10. It sure is

Not many of them have been filmed live like this, though.

3. Army have been ordered onto the streets to enforce curfew

" tear guns no longer being fired, police pulled back"

military vehicles moving into suez now, Army tanks, heading towards center of city.
Police apparently have failed to control riots now military is coming in.

this could get ugly.

12. Glad to be of service

As I was typing this reply they've just set the ruling political party's building on fire!

13. Turbo...will you pls. start a Egypt uprising thread and re-post your links?

We have too many single threads on GD building up.
I just read MSNBC says police have taken off their uniforms and joined the protesters.
Massive gunfire? explosions happening now.

we need a single thread, if you would be so kind.
