Ok this is of note

[nadinbrzezinski]

the anti mubarak forces are western backed foreigners... per Al Jazeera reporter.

Ah part of the dang dynamic... but this is very dangerous. THis also explains why Cooper got attacked.

So Mubarak is digging deep to... the 1953 revolt and Nasser.

clarify, this is what Mubarak is now pushing.

1. You mean the Pro-Mubarak forces are western backed foreigners?

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Yep... you knew where that came from

[hlthe2b]

7. You've got a typo in your post then... you said "anti-Mubarak" forces

8. That is what mubarak's spokesmen are now claiming

we are controlling the antis in the square.

Mark your calendar, they most have been told this is the end boys. LEAVE.

between Mubarak and the Management when Mubarak's spokesman begins to talk about outside forces, colonial powers and Zionists interfering with Egypt's internal affairs.

11. While quickly googling what you wrote (as I often have to do with the OP's threads)...

I came upon this little gem of a blog which of course leads us down a small rabbit trail, but it has some great info with regard to the significance of the facebook groups and their helping to organize this revolution in the making:

http://www.afaceaface.org/blog/?p=1953

"According to the New York Times, the April 6 and Khaled Said groups have emerged as the organizers of the anti-Mubarak coalition. On Sunday, January 30, they helped bring together a committee of ten people, nominally led by ElBaradei, that emerged after a meeting of Egypt’s “shadow parliament,” including officials from the Muslim Brotherhood, dissident Ayman Nour, ElBaradei’s National Association for Change, and others. They coordinated with a meeting of several political parties, including the opposition Wafd Party. The April 6 movement also led the meetings held in Tahrir (“Liberation”) Square, where they brought ElBaradei yesterday to speak to the crowds who filled the square, just off the Nile in downtown Cairo."
