The White House "succession plan" for Egypt is pure bullshit

a transitional government headed by suleiman is no better and in fact may be even worse than letting mubarak stay on... it's just another way for the u.s. to keep propping up dictators, torturers, and generally bad men while keeping its lips glued to israel's ass...

The Obama administration is discussing with Egyptian officials a proposal for President Hosni Mubarak to resign immediately and turn over power to a transitional government headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman with the support of the Egyptian military, administration officials and Arab diplomats said Thursday.

bullshit, bullshit, bullshit... the anti-government demonstrators in tahrir square ain't gonna buy it and if they do, they're certifiable...

Labels: bullshit, certifiable, Dictatorship, egypt, Hosni Mubarak, Obama administration, Omar Suleiman, succession
