It is reported that Hosni Mubarak with step down from power in a recorded address to Egypt. The recording was supposedly recorded yesterday. Mubarak, it is reported, has been in negotiations for his removal. It is not being reported with whom Mubarak has been negotiating with.
After thirty years in partnership with the United States and Israel Mubarak has been prodded by the Obama administration to step aside. It appears that Obama has thrown Mubarak under the proverbial Obama bus, but it is also apparent that not only did Washington not see this coming, Washington and the administration have no idea what will happen in Egypt with the departure of Mubarak.
Once Mubarak steps down we will have to idly sit aside and watch whether it will be Islamofascists such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the military or pro-democracy forces that will take power. There is no other way to look at this than as a total failure by the Obama administration.
If the worst happens Israel will be the first to feel the wrath of this failure and then free nations around the world will have to brace for best trained and best equipped military in the Middle East to start making moves led by religious fanatics.
Total. Failure.
