Ousted pres Mubarak to ask Egypt for forgiveness on air

Ahram Online, Tuesday 17 May 2011

Former ousted President Hosni Mubarak is expected to apologise to the nation soon, according to media reports, and is aiming for amnesty.

According to the Shorouk newspaper, the speech is currently being prepared and will be aired on several Egyptian and Arab channels. Mubarak will apologise for his or his family’s wrongdoing against the Egyptian people, which he is expected to blame on bad advice and misinformation given to him by his consultants.

During the speech Mubarak will also express his willingness to return most of his wealth to Egyptians. He will also stress the fact that he was once a member of the country’s armed forces and fought to protect Egypt during the 1973 war against Israel.

The ousted president will also say that he never expected to ever hold the position of president and did his best to perform his duties, as did his wife, Suzanne Thabet, who did a lot of humanitarian work for the country.

1. A speech like this could be very useful

at the sentencing hearing.

:hi:

2. What about the responsibility?

Wow .. is it ignorance or is Mubarak so naive that he really believes in any kind of amnesty for his deeds? He and his 'colleagues' like Khaddafi, Assad, Ahmedineshad, Saleh and Bouteflika who are unfortunately still oppressing the civilization of their countries have to take full responsibility for the decisions they have token as well as for the crimes their military and security staff has committed.

He should be very, very happy about the fact that he will - until now - not face the judges at high court for human rights in The Hague ..

3. Schwartzenegger has a better chance of being forgiven than Murbarak.

4. Curious how he'll define "most of his wealth"

I bet the number will be much lower than what's been published.

And I'm surprised that he's using the same speechwriter! Thought he would've fired that guy...not like Hosni didn't dictate what he wanted to say.

12. Cue the Pat Benatar tape...

It's a little too little
It's a little too late
I'm a little too hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
Ah, it's a little too little
It's a little too late

13. I can forgive. I can also still convict. He and his wife need to give back ALL

of the money they have. his wife is still dinking around in custody over her money, the idiot.
