US calls on Egyptian Government to lift Emergency Laws now

[malaise]

<snip>
Vice-President Joe Biden made the call during a telephone conversation with his Egyptian counterpart Omar Suleiman.

It came after a day of renewed anti-government protests in Cairo and other Egyptian cities.

Correspondents said the demonstration in central Cairo was the biggest since the protests began on 25 January.

It came despite the government's announcement of its plans for a peaceful transfer of power.
--------------
Mubarak and Suleiman will also have to go Biden!!

1. Suleiman says the protests must end and Mubarak is not leaving

now. This after the biggest protests to date.
These fuckers are crazy.
All of today's protests are linked to the tearful comments made by Wael Ghonim following his release.
------------------------
Wael Ghonim, a Google executive who was detained by state security forces for 12 days, often blindfolded, was feted by the crowds as he entered Tahrir Square. He is credited with setting up the page on the Facebook social network that helped galvanise protesters.

"We will not abandon our demand and that is the departure of the regime," Mr Ghonim told protesters in the square, to cheers and applause.

Large crowds also demonstrated in the second city, Alexandria, and other Egyptian towns and cities.

Looks like the French Prime Minister will be forced to resign after 'being loaned an aircraft by Mubarak' during his family holiday in Egypt.
Dictators are fine for 'democrats' until they are exposed. :rofl:

3. Wouldn't it be something if the next President of Egypt is a

Google executive?

5. LOL - that would be something

People are no longer afraid. How amazing. I hope that spreads across the globe.

Imagine locking up a Face Book protester- these fuggers are bat shit crazy. Technology always overruns these scoundrels.

Here's the story about the French PM

French Prime Minister Francois Fillon has said the Egyptian president lent him and his family a plane during a holiday in Egypt at new year.

Hosni Mubarak, who is facing widespread anti-government protests, also paid for Mr Fillon's holiday accommodation.

Another French minister has faced calls to resign after saying she used a Tunisian businessman's plane during the country's uprising.
