A corrupt fuck escapes with BILLIONS, and the world cheers

[DainBramaged]

Egypt needs to recover it's treasure from Whoishe Mubarak. What is he going to do start another country?

[polichick]

1. Sort of like Halliburton. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

2. You do mean our billions, right? nt

[hlthe2b]

3. When is the US going to recover its stolen billions in Iraq

and now within the former Blackwater's coffers in UAE?

[Swede]

4. This is the best way for it to happen.

If other dictators see they can escape with some cash,they will,rather than send in the stormtroopers. Much better in the long run.

[Freddie Stubbs]

5. How many billions?

[jaxx]

6. Does that mean to hell with the Egyptian people?

Or is it just not good enough? Either way it's what is expected when people can't admit something good happened. This scenario is played out each time, it's old and needs to be put out to pasture.

[DainBramaged]

9. That's right twist it around.......

Nice touch! Did I fucking say his overthrow wasn't a good thing anywhere? What did I say, the PEOPLE need to recover THEIR treasure. THEIR TREASURE.


Bullshit.

[jaxx]

11. Do you think they have money on their minds today?

If it's a good thing then have something good to say about it instead of moving the goal posts.

[DainBramaged]

20. By the way, the DLC collapsed the other day

and I have NOTHING good to say about them....

[jaxx]

24. Well that ought to break hearts.

What do you have good to say about anything?

[DainBramaged]

25. I put you on ignore?

[jaxx]

26. Dealers choice.

I'm not afraid to voice my opinion.

[tabatha]

7. I heard one of the interviewees

say that she hoped that Mubarak can be put on trial and the money retrieved to give it to the Egyptians.

[Sanity Claws]

8. As Yogi Berra said,

It ain't over till it's over.

And it ain't over.
He may be gone but nothing is preventing the new Egypt from going after the billions Mubarak has stashed around the globe.

[Rex]

10. The sad thing is, you could also be talking about any number of US leaders.

Maybe they are cheering because he promised to leave and even a fragment of a hope is better than no hope.

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. Agreed... Its only the beginning it will be a tough 7 months

until the elections.... I don't trust his replacement with anything.

[bobbolink]

13. One step at a time. The people worked hard for this, they suffered and were martyred for this, and

deserve the time to celebrate their victory.

of COURSE they are cheering, as we cheer with them.

Have patience, grasshopper!

[maddezmom]

14. I don't think the people cheering are thinking about the money now

they are celebrating and cheering because they succeeded having Mubarak leave.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

15. Why do divorces cost so much?

Because they're worth it.

If he decided to stay and machinegun the crowds no amount of money would have brought those people back. If a life of ease and comfort entices him to give up the throne--

--well, it's better than wholesale slaughter.

[rucky]

16. Money comes and goes

but it's not every day you can get rid of a POS dictator who's overstayed his welcome by 30-some years.

[lumpy]

19. My thoughts exactly. Money is not the end and the all and money

does come and go, out of one pocket and into another.

[Bragi]

17. He hasn't actually left the country

Given the desire of many Egyptians to see him in jail, I wonder if he waited too long to leave, and now won't be able to. Great irony there, yes?

[Denzil_DC]

18. BBC reporting Switzerland has frozen Mubarak's accounts n/t

[DainBramaged]

21. THAT is good news....

[Denzil_DC]

22. Not on their site yet,

just on the broadcast news. None of us knows what he has salted away elsewhere, obviously.

[MindandSoul]

23. I believe Switzerland just froze his assets!

So. . .maybe others will follow suit.

[sibelian]

27. Hey, DainBramaged! Switzerland's frozen his assets!!!

:D :D :D
