He knows. He is just looking for safe passage and a way to take all his funds with him.
If we are taking wagers I’ll put my money on Feb 4 at 8:00 AM local time in Egypt or Feb 4 1:00 US Eastern. (6:00 GMT)
I’m a bit surprised things haven’t gone to total chaos with the military blasting everyone who demonstrates against him. It’s a nice change. I still have those images of Saddam, and the Iranian govt bashing and killing dissenters.
Just an update. “I am fed up. After 62 years in public service, I have had enough. I want to go,” Mubarak, 82, who remains inside his heavily guarded palace in Cairo, said in an interview with ABC.
“If I resign today, there will be chaos,” he added. Asked to comment on calls for him to resign, he said: “I don’t care what people say about me. Right now I care about my country.”
I think he already has. He wants to resign without losing his face completely. My guess: due to health problems Mubarak had to see specialists in Germany etc. etc.
