After 6 hours of jubilant communion, the Egyptian people gathered in Tahrir Square were assaulted once again by President Mubarak's lies and narcissism in his address to them which was anticipated as speech of resignation. A military person of high rank had appeared at Tahrir Square and stated that .."all their demands would be won".Then after a high spirited ,but very long wait, on comes Mubarak. First, he lied about the attacks, and murders perpetrated on his people (ordered by himself) stating that it "broke his heart" and that he would find each attacker and hold them accountable for their behaviour (which wouldn't be hard because cause they're all in his "black" book listed under "h" for hoodlums!)! He talked incessantly about himself and his "Egypt" as though one was the same as the other, and therefore inseparable. His speech was filled with condescending remarks and the continual references to the "youth" of this movement, and being influenced by outside conspirators, as if they were so "childlike" they certainly couldn't, or wouldn't have come up with this revolution against him on their own. He blamed absolutely everyone, outsiders, television hosts, foreign leaders and non Egyptians smuggled in, all with revolution on their minds Once finished, the crowd erupted in angry chants and shouts, as defiant and angry as they were jubilant. They're chanting.."We're not leaving...he's leaving." Within the hour, large groups of people split off from the crowd and began the march to the State Media station, and/or the Palace. It's going to be a long night in Cairo. There is suggestion that perhaps this was a plan between Mubarak and the Military to get the protesters so riled up that Mubarak would have to call in the military to restore order. Who knows what the next 24 hours will bring and what truths in history will be told..
