The Communique Number Two by the Egyptian Military High Command makes it clear: it is part and parcel with the regime of Mubarak, and they are closely working with Israel/US/Saudi Arabia to prolong the life of the regime. I strongly disagree with comrade Azmi Bisharah today that it was a good communique and that it should reassure demonstrators. It is an American-made communique: the US would not let a military coup in Egypt: and i don't buy the news and stories (I even posted one yesterday) about a discussion of a coup among the top generals. The US fear that a coup would set a precedent and may pose a threat to its future puppets. All that said, the momentum of the people is just incredible.
