un-fucking-believable.
the shit is going to hit the fan. it's just a matter of when.
the scenario at the moment...there's specuation based on what the military said collectively earlier in the day about "resorting to extra-constitutional means" that there was an almost-coup. then there were a series of reports that indicated things appeared to be fluid because behind the curtain there were arguments still going on about how to play things.
it is not clear what, if anything, was transferred to suleiman.
it was not clear what, if anything, mubarak was talking about with the repeated references to "foreigners"---tho it did resemble in some ways american conservative-speak at those moments when they decided to declare themselves the "Real Americans"--but i digress.
the constitutional moves are interesting...mostly geared toward elections, opening them up...and annulling the constitutional basis for the state of emergency. again.
so a charade, really.
twitter shards indicate that the crowd is moving off tahrir toward national tv.
shit could hit the fan tonight.
i hope the people keep their cool. let the strike do it's work. this asshole will be brought to his knees once the canal gets shut down.
