Diplomat: Egyptian president 'is a walking corpse'
World Tribune ^ | 7/13/2010 | World Tribune

Posted on 07/15/2010 12:13:07 AM PDT by ErnstStavroBlofeld

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was said to no longer be capable of functioning in his position.

Diplomatic sources said Mubarak's condition has rapidly declined over the last month and his schedule was severely restricted. They said Mubarak was avoiding meetings with most non-Arab leaders to prevent leaks of his true condition. "He is a walking corpse," a senior Arab diplomat who recently attended a meeting with Mubarak said In July, the sources said, Mubarak underwent a lengthy examination at a French military hospital outside Paris. They said the examination took place amid alarm by presidential aides and close relatives over the decline of Mubarak in 2010.

"Everybody around him is trying to give the impression that he's a spring chicken," another diplomatic source said. "The truth is he is heavily drugged, particularly before he appears with visitors or in public."

On July 14, Mubarak, in a one-day delay of initial plans, was scheduled to meet visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Egypt. This was set to be the fifth meeting between the two leaders over the last year.

The sources said the State Department was supporting the unofficial candidacy of former International Atomic Energy Agency director-general Mohammed El Baradei as the next president of Egypt. They said El Baradei has sought an alliance with the banned Muslim Brotherhood.

“The situation is very dangerous

El Baradei in alliance with Muslim Brotherhood.


So the US State Dept backs the Muslim Brotherhood in
Egypt as in the USA. At least they are consistent.

On top of everything else going on in the middle east, a succession crisis? We are the victims of the ol' chinese curse:

Mohammed El-Baradei spent years making sure that Islam had viable nuclear programs, and now is opening allying himself with the terrorist group the Muslim Brotherhood.

I wish that a few of the more credulous people on the left who spent years making excuses for El-Baradei would at least admit their stupidity, but that's probably about as likely as them admitting as to what a disaster the Kenyan Clown is.

Odd that no where in that story does it say how old he is. He has got to be in his 80s, I think.

*”may you live in interesting times.” *

At the very least, this starts to clarify things. It does no good to have an enemy who does not declare himself to actually be an enemy.
