Vice president suleiman. so does the military allow him to run the government that the military now has taken over? then the other thing we want to look at is how as the elections draw closer is the military going to set up a political party that is going to deal with the opposition forces like the muslim brotherhood and some of the other players in the game? right now, all you have is a single-party state, the national democratic party for all intents and purposes. we want to make sure as we lo...

More people from joining the rally and those who are part of the egyptain army have been torn all along because theyre said to be sympathetic to the protesters, unwilling to unleash violence on them, and yet they were getting to the point where egypt was seriously suffering economically and it had to come to an end one way or another. now we know. now we know for now how it handed. mubarak will step down, army is in charge. whats next? well have answers to that, we think, in the next hour or so....
