Hey, leave him alone he already caved

And I'm not talking about Mubarak:

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah told U.S. President Barack Obama that his country would prop up Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak if the United States withdrew its aid programme, The Times said on Thursday.


The Times also added:

America’s closest ally in the Gulf made clear that the Egyptian President must be allowed to stay on to oversee the transition towards peaceful democracy and then leave with dignity.


Because who knows more about how to properly foster "democracy" and "dignity" than the House of Saud? A family that named a country after themselves and treats democracy like it treats pornography.

Hand-holding photo sure to follow.

Hmm. D'ya think maybe Mubarak has been paying kickbacks to someone in the Saudi royal family on one of his business deals?

And they're afraid that if he leaves in a hurry, some evidence will be left behind?

With such high rolling friends, Mubarak decided he did not intend to leave anyhow.
now the army must show him the door. God, Allah, spare your people such dementia.
