1. AJE reporting Army trucks are rolling into Tahrir Square...
I think the jets are an intimidation tactic but the trucks rolling in is a more ominous development.:scared:

7. Too late
The people are chanting that Mubarak should take the jets and go.
When people aren't afraid of tanks, helicopters and fighter jets, you're history.
Bye Bye Mubarak.
