Friday Egypt

Though there has been reported late night talks between the US and Egyptian officials about Mubarak stepping down immediately, and come of army caretaker government (or perhaps Sulleiman) taking over, I predict Mubarak holds on just a bit longer, and Friday sees the security forces, police and even the army start to retaliate against protesters.

They tried just wearing them out, but the media press coverage and American pressure are making that difficult, so I think Friday they will turn on the protesters. There is also a growing middle class pressure to get Egypt functioning again, people are short of cash and commodities.

We shall see….
