Mubarak Says Egyptians Have to Choose Between "Chaos" and Him ... Then Sends In His Thugs to Stir Up Chaos

Submitted by George Washington on 02/01/2011 19:20 -0400

In order to justify staying in power until elections are held in
September, President Mubarak said on tv that the people had to choose
between him and "chaos".

As NBC notes:

President
Hosni Mubarak announced late Tuesday that he would not run for another
term in office, but whether Egyptians would allow him to remain in
office until elections in the fall was uncertain.

In a
5-minunte pre-recorded televised address to Egypt that was translated
into English, Mubarak said it had never been his intention to run for
re-election in September.

Mubarak said the protests that erupted Jan. 25 "force us to choose between stability and chaos."

Soon after Mubarak's speech was broadcast, clashes broke out between pro- and anti-Mubarak forces in Alexandria.

Reports on the ground say that the pro-Mubarak protesters tried to break into the peaceful protest to start a riot, chanting "We want Mubarak!".

But the anti-Mubarak protesters did not take the bait.

The army broke up the clash and ensured peace by firing a couple of shots into the air above everyone's head.

As Al Jazeera blogs:

Clashes between anti-government and pro-Mubarak protesters in Alexandria. Shots are fired in the air.

Once again, thanks to President Mubarak for educating the world about agents provocateur and false flag shenanigans.

Hush your mouth. Obama is the most benevolent king of the world ever! Si se puede bitchez! As long as that means "yes we can" not revolt in a puppet government.

De Gaulle said the same thing during the May 1968 Paris riots : "après moi le déluge!"

Every one expecting a George Costanza "I'm outa here" moment, instead got the quintessential Cool Hand Luke moment:

"What we got here is... failure to communicate."

It shows that no matter how many millions march the streets, if a dictator has the support of his henchmen he will survive

Unless the mob breaks into his palace and hangs him by his shoelaces

Good one Silver...the gunners rock...there's some interesting history with that group...they pushed so hard at "the envelope" that they were targeted themselves IMHO.

They were not PC...refreshing in an age of cookie cutter pop up bands...they were One in a Million ;-)

Here's a good one;

"Hours after U.S. President Barack Obama told Mubarak that the transition needs to “begin now,” Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh said today he won’t seek to extend his term when it expires in 2013."

Now, about those Wikileaks...

The MSM better be careful in what they're told to put out there, that trail of flaming gasoline might circle around behind them and come right up their leg...LOL.
