#1 Fred - Is this a calculated gamble that Mubarek is too feeble to defeat them, in spite of the article's assertion?

And did he ever pick a successor after that bit about his son not being up to snuff to run such a mess as Egypt?

Sounds like we're approaching the end of the farce in Egypt, to me. Lessee, that's $2Bn / yr in foreign aid we can put into the reorg & training of the new more mobile military. Mebbe a few armed UAV's can be squeezed out, too.
