Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman announced on state television Friday that longtime President Hosni Mubarak, 82, would step down, and the video was soon posted on YouTube. Al Jazeera is calling it "The 30 seconds that ended the 30 years of Mubarak's rule."

Now they have Suleiman "the torturer", which is exactly who the U.S. and Israel wanted for the "smooth transition" in the first place. One small step for democracy, one giant leap for the international corporate and banking powers.

Hosni Mubarack replaced with Omar Suleiman.
So one American puppet replaced with another American Puppet.

No change there then.
Business as usual.
I'm sure Obama and Cameron will breath a sigh of relief. Or more to the point, there corporate masters will breath a sigh of relief. For the time being at least.
