The elites are flying out of Egypt

[malaise]

on private jets.
The Party HQ is still burning - not one fire engine has reached it yet.

Army tanks outside of the US and British embassies. As usual they'll be on planes flying out shortly

1. Deja vu - Cuba by boats and planes. nt

3. They'd better not settle some place over here and then

demand that no American can visit Egypt!

[tekisui]

2. Wonder if Mubarak has already fled. Whether he has or not, he has lost

all control. It is as good as over for him.

8. Someone asked that on Al Jazeera

a few minutes ago.

Truthfully I think if you want a revolution you need to turn off cell phones and social media. Now the youth are enraged. :evilgrin:

10. Exactly. Cutting off the communications is as inflammatory (maybe more)

than a massacre.

4. So, I suppose my stepson's mother will be coming to the USA soon. Sigh!

She's nothing but trouble. She's been living with her current husband, a retired Egyptian diplomat, in Egypt for 5+ years. It's been wonderful!

My stepson is an adult, as his daughter, and you'd think that since I have no contact with her it wouldn't affect things. But it does. Somehow she can just stir up "issues" by starting stories within the family.

Sorry to be so personal about this, but I'd just like her to go away and never be heard from again. I always have to bite my tongue when she's back and involved with the family.

I don't want warfare and she is, after all, his mother. It's not really important (or at least it shouldn't be) what my opinion of her is. She and my husband were divorced for more than 10 years before I met him.

5. She'll be knocking on your door in 3...2...1

:rofl:

Just joking!!

12. OMG! I hope not. Tevye's blessing applies here

"May the Lord and bless and keep the (ex-wife) far from here!"

6. with their gold . . . .

7. I hear there's a vacancy at a ranch in Crawford Texas!

:evilgrin:

[malaise]

9. Th e Egyptian elite hate squalor

:evilgrin:
