(CNN) -- When thousands of angry protesters take to the streets of Egypt on Friday, one man many see as the country's next potential leader will be among them.
The Cairo-born former head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei on Thursday returned to the country, despite death threats, to be with "his people." "There was an edict against me a couple of weeks ago basically saying that my life should be dispensable because I am defying the rulers," ElBaradei told CNN on Tuesday.

ElBaradei has yet to form a political party but hundreds of thousands of Egyptians have set up Facebook groups supporting his candidacy. One "Elbaradei for Presidency of Egypt_ 2011" counts more than 200,000 members.

After three terms as the IAEA's director general, ElBaradei stepped down at the end of 2009. He was hoping to settle into a quiet retirement, but his return to Egypt during the week's unrest suggests that he is not content to sit and watch from the sidelines.
He said the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia that saw the expulsion of long-term President Zine al-Abedine Ben Ali in mid-January had spurred action in Egypt.
"It sent a message everywhere to the Arab world that, to quote Barack Obama, 'Yes, we can,' you know, that it is doable."

Exit question: So does this mean that Obama's "Yes We Can" rhetoric (along with "bring a gun" to the fight, "get in their face and argue with them", etc.) leads to violent revolt?? Paging the MSM...
You mean that the MB learned under Obama. Amazing.
The same Nobel prize winner who screwed the pooch with the Iraq WMDs. If this is the best they can do, Egypt is in bigger trouble than we thought they were. The guy is a punk. The last leader any country would want is one who was given the Nobel prize, IMHO. They are all braindead, leftist morons.
ElBaradei is going to be in for a big shock when his Muslim Brotherhood “brothers” put him in front of a firing squad.
Why yes they did. Just ask Moran and Hoyer.
“I heard his announcement yesterday. He wants to build a new Egypt based on freedom, democracy, and social justice.”
There’s that code phrase again.
I never trusted this guy when he was/is with the IAEA and I don’t trust him now.
I do not claim to completely understand the problems the Egyptian people have with their President, but I think if he steps down, who ever takes the country over will not bode well for Israel, therefore for America.
No matter the outcome, we must drill here, drill now!
Ping.
Yes way, he is one the clear the path for the MB, but once that’s done, he’ll be in their way. So, he has to go.
This is the way revolutions always work.
Once El-Baradei(if he is the head of Egypt’s new Government and Mubarack quits)gets things under control he’ll be eliminated by the Brotherhood,and another Iran Type Country will emerge here?
Thanks!
(My jaw is on the floor.)
Ditto. He’s a muzzie liar who tried to save Saddam Hussein’s skin. IMHO.
