Reuters: Egypt army to act if protesters refuse handover plan: report
(Reuters) - Egypt's army will act if protesters refuse a plan of transferring power from President Hosni Mubarak to Vice President Omar Suleiman, Al Arabiya television said Thursday, citing sources. It gave no further details.
Ok, I'll try and find some links but damn, that was an awful speech. Crowd is pissed off , holding up their shoes and chanting. They were not amused.
No telling what will happen now. I'll post anything new as it develops later. Mubarak seemed in his speech to just care about himself and how he was going to look to others. Talked about him being the people's father and how they were like his children. How utterly patronizing, that's the sort of thing that makes people furious.
well, good luck to the people, they are going to need it.
