ElBaradei (Opp. Leader): Egyptians Must Wait at least 'One Year' for Elections
Pundit Press ^ | 2/11/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 02/11/2011 9:45:41 AM PST by therightliveswithus

Saying that Egyptians had already waited "thirty years," and citing the chaos in Egypt, Egyptian Opposition Leader Mohamed ElBaradei stated today on Al Jazeera that Egyptians must wait at least "one year" for elections. Ironically, on the day that now-former President Mubarak stepped down amongst calls for democracy, the military of Egypt now holds the country while its opposition leader now says elections must wait.

Speaking live from Egypt with Al Jazeera, ElBaradei discussed the entirety of the protests and movements in Egypt. Touting Egyptians' grit and will power, ElBaradei was proud that Mubarak was forced to step down. However, when asked when elections would take place, the opposition leader stated that they would take at least "one year."

"We are not done," he stated. Though Mubarak had stepped down, "we have more demands;" the rest of the Mubarak regime "must go," he continued.

In a later interview, another opposition leader said that he expected "martial law to be announced soon" by the military. "We will see," he continued.

Yes, yes, get him the heck out of Chicago; as a mayor he will be a corrupt horror story beholden to Obama bigtime for every move he makes.

Perfect time to announce this, while they are still celebrating and won’t realize what’s happening.

Unusual, this democratic victory is. When first you turn away from scheduled elections, forever will the jihadists guide your path."

“The Muslim Brotherhood needs time to get their campaign team together.”

The Muslim Brotherhood needs time to get their boots on the ground...er, I mean on the necks of the people.

I pray Egypt does not fall to the muslim brotherhood, but it sure does seem like deja vu with what happened 32yrs ago in Iran and that has proven to be very dangerous to US interests.
