Step Down in September (Won't Last That Long), Proud of Accomplishments, Wants to Die on Egyptian Soil (Won't Happen If He Wants to Live)

EXILE BOUND

Not well taken by the clamoring masses who want Mubarack to step down immediately. It's all but over for Mubarack, the beginning of the end, even the middle of the end. I doubt he can hold on to power until September. There would be advantages for a smoother transition of power; however it seems the momentum and mass anger is far too out-of-control to be that patient. Then there's always a high chance of assasination.

Incorrectly, but quirky to me: I think of "soil" as fertile land. Tennessee has soil. West Texas has dirt. So, I'm thinking: How much soil is in Egypt? He wants to die on one of the limited portions of irrigated land?

Interesting point, hadn't thought of that Greg....I know there used to be---over 3,000 years ago---some very fertile soil in Goshen in eastern Egypt. Then there's good soil in the Nile delta beyond the impoundments where all that great Egyptian cotton is grown. In the US that would be like Mississippi River delta country. It's flat but has fertile soil.
