Suleiman Not A Proper Choice For Transition Or Change; Worse Than VP Cheney!
Yesterday Vice President Omar Suleiman granted two very different interviews; one with Christiane Amanpour which on the surface was civil although expressing the position that reform will take a long time, 70 days for Constitutional Amendments to be offered and even longer to implement any that are approved, and a second interview with an a Al Jazerra reporter in which he emphasized the themes of: (1) The youth movement being implemented by outside forces, (2) The Media as a cause, (3) Investigation and prosecution of agitators, (4) reform delays up to 2 and 3 years and (5) determining who would be allowed to run for President. Given Mubarak’s current state of mind this man is running the show.
HE TOO HAS TO GO!
