1. I guess they're scrambling to decide which side they are on.
I think they better quickly get on the right side of history this time. We've been on the wrong side for so long.

Jeremy Scahill also seems to think that Mubarak is finished!

With the Stock Market affected, Wall St. is probably trembling in their Bruno Magli boots.

What a contrast, ordinary people figthing for human rights. Wall St. criminals scrambling to see how best they can profit, siding with the brutal Dictator, or finding a way to profit from freedom.

Torture, brutality etc. did not move this government, but if the Market is affected, they will finally 'take a side'.

Gibbs 'this isn't about taking a side'.

Is there any question about this? It's simple ~ The People V A Brutal Dictator. And the U.S. can't decide which side they are on! Absolutely disgraceful and they too are exposed by these revolutions.

State Department just canceled briefing, they say they're waiting for Mubarak to speak. That's leadership!

4. Wall Street and DC better be afraid of their own people. With the amount
of guns and ammo we now know exists among our citizens, the PTB should be very careful. People out of work, marginalized in so many ways, it wouldn't take much to start a revolution right here. Wall Street nervous pleases me...

8. True. The people of Egypt are not armed.
The cowardice of dictators highlighted by the way they hide when things get tough and they send out their thugs, armed and dangerous against an unarmed population.

5. Since the United Corporations of America is openly about
nothing but profit, this will be a tough call when it comes to PR and how to manage he masses.

They are probably burning brain circuits on a way to do maybe logic on it. Both and neither.

7. Briefing to begin "any moment."
We'll see, but the press is gathering.
