Well that was hosni from what looks the palace

[nadinbrzezinski]

I don't know Arabic but I can tell a beaten man when I see one...holly ... Shit. Pepto by the truckload at foggy bottom.

1. Really? He looks like someone who intends to carry on, to me

He's going to have to give on something, but this doesn't look like a farewell speech to me.

[elias49]

2. I agree. Looks like he has the military on his side.

Or it's his very last gasp...his exit speech.
It must be one or the other.

Who the fuck knows?

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Reminds of this guy

The information minister under sadam

7. Don't be dissin' Baghdad Bob. He was far more competent than any of W's mouthpieces. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. LOL that's funny

Oh and cappuccino perino was the most fun.

10. Fer sure. The only ones immune to her charms were Helen Thomas and that call boy.

The rest were too busy fantasizing about Dana Peroxide, a hot tub and a bottle of Viagra to listen to the crap she was spewing.

14. Baghdad Bob always sounded confident

and not 'a beaten man'. It's possible that he may infuriate the people further with the confidence, but, for example, here's the reaction of the Al Jazeera English live blog:

This does not sound like a speech in which Mubarak plans on making major concessions, let alone stand down

3. Beaten as in leaving? Or chastised?

[DCKit]

5. He's still yakking on A.J. English...

And he's trying to talk his way out of a revolution - a day late and a dollar short, in my opinion. He must think he's talking to Tea Baggers.

Just now, he's going to ask the parliament to step down, but he'll remain in power to reform a new government. He thinks the peoples are stoopid.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. The fraudulent elections were one point of contention

This will not be fun to watch. Many folks will die.

9. If you'd listened to the translated speech you wouldn't be so quick

to make that claim. He clearly intends to stick around.

[DCKit]

13. I intend to die happy and well-off. Doesn't mean it's going to happen. nt

[cali]

15. he's not stepping down- at least not now.

he has the military. When he loses that, then the picture changes.

[riverwalker]

11. he was babbling nonsense

almost delusional

[malaise]

12. He also has terminal cancer

had surgery in Germany last year

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. I missed that, why he has the son to take over the family

bidness...

Thanks... this actually makes him a more dangerous man...
