Egyptians on the streets of Cairo said on Monday they had reservations about opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, who has offered to act as transitional leader to prepare Egypt for democratic elections.
ElBaradei, former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), returned to Egypt on the eve of the protests which swept the country on Friday, when tens of thousands of people called for the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak.
Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the IAEA, ElBaradei and the powerful Muslim Brotherhood said on Sunday he had a mandate from opposition groups to make contact with the army and negotiate a government of national unity.
At least one opposition party, the Arab nationalist Karama Party of Hamdin Sabahi, has rejected ElBaradei outright as a transitional figure, saying he was trying to jump on the bandwagon of the popular uprising.

"NOT NEUTRAL" ON IRAN

"ElBaradei's positions toward other Arab countries, and toward Iran and North Korea, were not neutral... So I don't find him very acceptable," said Walid Abdel-Mit'aal, 36, who works for a public sector company.

Uh Oh. Trouble for Obamas hand picked replacement for Mubarak. Mubarak is still there. He has had 30 years to set himself up. He appears to be waiting out the protests until they lose steam. Might just work as food and gas supply is exhausted and chaos continues. Never believe what you hear in our MSM.
Hate to say it, but Mubarak is as good as it's going to get for us in Egypt. El-Baradei is just going to end up a useful, but very transitory tool for the MB.
I agree. The MSM is all in for El Baradie. He must be a communist.
Don't you want our Marxist UN stooge?
Ungrateful curs.
Someone posted some links showing how Baradai is linked to Soros. Funny how that works.
Well, he did work for the UN. Six of one, half dozen of an other...
It’s been obvious for years that El Baradei is a stooge for Iran.
Excerpt:
Mohammed El Baradei is a trustee of the “International Crisis Group” an “independent” non-profit group run by bankers to incite revolutions and profit from them. His fellow trustee is none other than the ubiquitous Rothschild front man, George Soros.

Great post. Great thread.

What...United Totalitarians International don’t like stand-alone dictators? Mubarak isn’t a union member?
El Baradei reminds me of “Hans Brix” in “Team America: World Police”, except he is even weaker. Baradei was responsible for preventing nuclear proliferation during the biggest period of nuclear proliferation since the 1950s. His weakness would permit the Brotherhood to use him as a puppet on their way to an Islamic Republic.
ElBaradei is nothing more than a weak moderate smoke screen behind which the Muslim Brotherhood can hide until the time is right.
Remind you of anyone?
gives one at least a little hope that at least the Egyptian people know a weasel when they see one
Oh Yeah! Great idea!
Hire the guy who has supported the proliferation of nukes and missiles after 14 years as the head of the IAEA.
Nkorea and Iran come to mind.
ElBaradei=Kerensky
I find it facinating that the united muslim brotherhood and El baradei won’t allow the party of mubarack to participate in new elections. Isn’t that what BO would like to do to the republicans?
