    I was wondering how the BBC can report the action. Then I looked a Google Earth and found the Cairo Hilton is in the square.

          Just watching on BBC live now - propaganda going back and forth. A NDP official just on blaming western media for making up a anti-Mubarak propaganda machine.

          Any clues as to where Mubarak will go if he does leave?

            It seems that the protestors are going to march on the presidential palace tonight. I think that is a bad move as they should take over the TV Stations first.

              And protesters blame the West for propping up Mubarak. Nice we get blamed for everything, maybe we should have imposed crushing sanctions on Egypt or invaded and got him out. Oh no, hang on a minute, we get blamed for that sort of thing too.

              Jordan would be my guess, although he should probably leave his bag packed.

                While much of the west was giving a "we are not getting involved" mantra, Obama was mouthing off and egging on protests against a secular middle east country when the Muslim Brotherhood is poised to step in when the power vacuum takes place. Naive fruit loop.

                  My guess was Saudi - there are troubles in Jordan and I'd think the King wouldn't want more trouble!
