25. Uh oh.
This could be a military coup then. IF it is Egypt will be screwed aid wise be we have specific laws against aid to nations that undergo military coups.

However, the people have expressed their consent to a change in government, but it should have been done with a civilian guard.

9. SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Think they'll catch him and arrest him before he flees the country? I hope so.

What the would-be-Pharaoh of Egypt needs is a tomb. And a scene reminiscent of the Cast of Amontillado!

28. He's not done shredding the torture papers yet.
Caught between a highly legitimate people's revolution and dirty U.S. / Israeli covert ops.

Bad shit. Is he wearing his brown pants?
