el Baradei better be careful, people have a habit of having accidents in Egypt.
Dictators backed into a corner are not nasty endings...scorched earth policy comes to mind and Mubarak is NOT going to go quietly i feel.
The Egyptian Military is split. He cannot rely on them to carry out any action against the protest. They will certainly not destroy their own country either. Most of them side with ElBaradei.
Mubarak is meeting with what is left of his Military as we speak. Stand by for the outcome shortly. It's on FOX.
He (El-Baradei) is now making his way to the center of the Tahrir square in Cairo, slowly but sure, cannot tell if he has a bullet proof vest or not on, looks like he is hemmed in by tons of people. Looks rather claustrophic, like a Cambodian water festival with 1000 trying to cross a bridge all at the same time. I guess they just give him a portable mic in the middle of all of it and he makes his statement. Looks like seasoned type people around him rathe than average *youth*s....(BBC/Arabiya)
