You may kill Egyptian, but how dare you attack Anderson Cooper

I hate to say this, but it may be the attack on Anderson Cooper that will be remembered as the one event that increased the pressure on the Obama administration to distance themselves from Mubarak.  I really believe that it is possible that the Obama administration will ask for Mubarak's resignation in a matter of hours.  And the statement by Sen. McCain and the changing lawyerly language of Gibbs at the White House (lately his language is as clear as that of Clinton when he answered the question as to whether he had sex in the oval office or not) indicate that people in government did not have stomach to watch Anderson Cooper being beaten by Mubarak's goons. I mean, you may kill and torture Arabs, but how dare you attack the White Man, o Mubarak.  Of course, for his best friend in the whole world, Netanyahu, he would stand by Mubarak even if his goons annihilate the entire Western press corp in Egypt.  Now that I would call a friend--of a brutal dictator.
