Breaking: Al Jazeera Reports Mubarak’s planning exile to Tel Aviv—The Writing on the Wall

The U.S. State Dept’s statement, “We strongly believe that the Egyptian Government needs to engage immediately with the Egyptian people in implementing needed economic, political, and social reforms” appears the give-away on Saturday of Mubarak’s fragile hold on power.

Typically, when commenting on this regional baby sister of Israel’s, the U.S. State Department will congratulate Egypt on its steps toward democracy, or issue a public encouragement of a fair electoral process like it did before last November’s lower-house elections.

Explicit calls from Washington for democracy in Egypt carry with them the risk of being interpreted as a threat, a statement to the Egyptian people themselves, or a reckless jeopardizing of U.S. weapons sales to the dictatorship.

No such concerns weigh heavy in Washington now.

Before President Obama spoke yesterday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the administration might cut the $1.5 billion in annual foreign aid sent to Egypt, contingent on Mubarak’s response to the demonstrations and the ”legitimate grievances” of the Egyptian people.
