Mubarak stays, reshuffles, calls election, gets out of town, is barred from leaving

[man of the people- check the jowls. butt chin of the people]

Hosni: "You got the people's gold?"
Guard: Ya
Hosni: "let's move it. Let's quit town!" "Yulla, imshi!"
Guard: keep your pants on, gramps!

Mubarak owns much of the Sharm El Shakey Sharkey resort.
Lots of sharks nearby. Some in the water, some on land.
Here's a video of Mubarak, interacting with the foreigners/kafirs:




OOOOHhhhhh. He gets barred from leaving the country!
I guess he'll have to stick around to face the music.
If you remember, I was tearing apart one of the Wikileaks back in November
that portrayed Mob-arak as a determined, successful man,
and others that said the whole Mid East wants the US to 'bomb bomb Iran'?
Well, a middle eastern commentator on the Guardian was quick to respond
that the common folks over there hate their American-puppet leaders
and if they could, would kill them.
Let's watch.

Defeated Mubarak adjusts to solitary life in Sharm el-Sheikh
High security at former Egyptian leader's home amid calls for
international action to freeze Mubarak family assets

At the end of a palm-lined drive in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, guarded by dozens of armed security officers and sniffer dogs, a defeated ex-president was this weekend contemplating his past, his present and his future.
After steering the destiny of 80 million Egyptians for 30 years, Hosni Mubarak could now gaze out over the blue waters of the Red Sea and consider how and where to spend his remaining days.
The Mubarak villa is not the grandest in the neighbourhood, nor as flamboyant as the nearby home of Bakr bin Laden, Osama's half-brother and scion of the Saudi construction clan.
The entrance to the former leader's compound, next to the lush golf resort of Jolie Ville, has no nameplate but was easily identified by the security detail.
A checkpoint leading to the resort was manned by surly plainclothes officers, inspecting passports and asking questions before allowing cars to pass.
At the entrance to the Mubarak compound, a thick-set officer wearing jeans and sweatshirt, a pistol holstered at his waist, confirmed the 82-year-old was at home. Then, perhaps fearing he had said too much, reduced his responses to one or two words.
Would Mr Mubarak like to speak to the press? "No." Was his family with him? "No comment." Was he receiving visitors? "No comment." Could I take a photograph? "No." Could I hang around for a bit? "No."
A pick-up truck with a box of bottled water was waved past the first barrier. A few yards on, an official ran a mirror underneath the chassis and a large Alsatian dog sniffed around its wheels.
Then it was the Guardian's turn to answer questions. Name, nationality, media organisation, hotel. Two security officers simultaneously relayed the information down their phones. Time to leave: Egypt may be liberated from tyranny but there was a chance the message hadn't got through to Sharm el-Sheikh.
As Mubarak considers his options, there were growing calls for a full investigation of his family's wealth. The true value of the Mubaraks' fortune remains unknown. US officials dismissed a rumour that the family is worth up to $70 billion as a wild exaggeration, telling the New York Times that the true figure was between $2 billion to $3 billion.
