1. He actually called them 'Goon Squads' . Said he has encountered them before |
|
during Egypt's so called elections. They are paid to intimidate and stuff ballot boxes with Mubarak votes.

2. Is this why the army said they wouldn't fire on protesters? |
|
Because they knew the 'thugs' would be posing as pro-Mubarak 'protesters?'

3. I'm guessing they will fight to the death... |
|
Because the minute Mubarek is gone...their days are numbered.
