If he is overthrown or forced out, the new government could go after him, his family and his loot like they did to Bin Ali of Tunisia. On the other hand, he is hoping that, in the next 7 months, he could fix the deck in his favor and, wel, "Retire" as any other president retires.
I just saw that he did step down and hand power to military. So I was wrong, and that's weird because I'm never wrong.
LMAO@ "Strong performance in the war against Israel". Egypt had their asses handed to them by Israel, along with about 5 other Arab nations at the same time... I'm watching the dancing Arabs in the street on television now. It looks much like the dancing Arabs when the Americans took out Saddam, and we all know what happened after that.... It's so hilarious all of emotional displays, all of the tears, as if some oppressive sadistic dictator had just been displaced when the fact is that Egypt was one of the most secular and free Arab states in existence. This is all such a transparent ruse I don't get how anyone thinks it's organic...
