The new Egypt: II

All those Zionist hoodlums who who hoped that the Egyptian uprising had no foreign policy goals would be sobbing more over Mubarak's downfall now.  The April 6th youth movement has even called for the expulsion of the US and Israeli ambassadors from Cairo.  The Egyptian media (print and TV) are full of denunciations of Israel.  It was quite a show: the Rush Limbaugh of the Mubarak regime, the TV talk show host, `Amru Adib, even joined in the chorus of denunciations of Israel, although he has a long history of parroting Mubarak regime and is hated by Egyptian revolutionaries.  All the political personalities of the new Egypt have joined in, as was indicated in the New York Times today.  The Military Council, of course, is a tool of US: it has to balance its fake attempt to appease the Egyptian public while still serving US/Israeli/Saudi interests.  It is not an easy task and this explains the shifts in the position of the Egyptian government in the last 24 hours.  The Egyptian ambassador was withdrawn, and then orders came from Washington, and the decision was rescinded
