It's amazing how naive the general public still are about these things. The US SIS's are undoubtedly in the thick of every significant faction involved - doing their level best to steer events.
I have little doubt the US laid plans for Mubarak's demise some time ago. He may have been a faithful ally in the overall US military domination of the region, but his lack of amenability to the de-regulation and wholesale privatisation of Egyptian industry and infrastructure has not endeared him to the WTO globalists one bit.
The public face of US diplomacy supports Mubarak - That says diddly squat about what the real agenda is. My guess is that Mubarak's days are numbered and US assets are already well positioned to have major influence on whoever/whatever replaces him.
Couldn't agree more. The CIA and allies are now in the position to move off either foot: To usher in their creatures in the Moslem Brotherhood, or else install a classic neo-liberal privatization regime. Perhaps both, in reverse order.
A lot of Egyptian turkeys - most obviously in the Trade Unions, and on the Left in general - have just voted for Christmas.
