The Kims of the Nile Come to Washington

“President Mubarak can’t seem to hold a press conference without being asked if it is true that her will bequeath the presidency to his son Gamal…..This has happened during his visits to Washington over the years…….Gamal’s main problem is that he is the president’s son…otherwise he is a very respected thinker and politicians who has ideas for modernization……Bequeathing the presidency to one’s son is not a bad idea; in fact it is better than other alternatives…….” Al-Rashid, Asharq Alawsat

Okay he has the Saudi blessing; the royal family and their flunkies do not want anything resembling free elections. In fact, they don’t like non-free elections either. He might have the American blessing as well. Now to make him a legitimate leader, he needs to run in an open and fair election, supervised by in impartial groups, and win against opponents.
"President Mubarak said that he told Mr. Obama he has two years to finish the reforms he wants for Egypt…….

“Reports indicate that Gamal Mubarak, son of Egypt’s president, is in fact in Washington along with his father…the goal is to introduce him to the powerful in Washington….....”Alquds Alarabi, London .

More likely, after 28 years of screwing up the country, he needs two more years to make Egyptians a permanently desperate people. Then his son will take over and finish off the job with his corrupt cronies and goon squads.
