They will be "moderate" all the way until they take power. El Baradei is just their tool. Looks like Egypt will be ruled by Islamists, just like Iran.

"The Brotherhood, founded in 1928, is thought to be Egypt's most popular unofficial political organization. It has a long fought to establish Sharia law in Egypt"

Will this be better than Mubarak?

Egypt will be Iran #2.

An uprising from within the center of power clearly indicates that a powerful faction from within the leadership is either guiding or managing the outbreak. The Army. It isn’t a revolution but a war of succession.

There are four key players — Lt Gen Sami Annan, Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Army, Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, Defence Minister, Air Marshal Ahmed Shafiq, Minister for Civil Aviation, and Lt Gen Omar Suleiman, the intelligence chief. Of the four, Lt Gen Annan commands 468,000 troops, Field Marshal Tantawi oversees 60,000 Republican Guards while Lt Gen Suleiman is rumoured to be ailing.

As soon as Mubarak is gone a coalition government backed by the Army and including the Muslim Brotherhood and headed by El Baradei will take over. The MB and the Army have cut a deal that MB will not provide arms to the protesters or allow in foreign fighters. The theme on the streets is not a call for democracy, just that Mubarak go. The Army did not want to see Mubarak's son Gamal take power, and saw the unrest in Tunisia as a cover opportunity for, what are, contrived protests.

What is odd is that the protesters have no weapons and that there is so much collaboration with the protesters, from the beginning, and no shoot-to-kill orders were ever given. Also, very odd that the police would disappear en masse, on cue. That could only happen by orders from the Army.

Also, we know that the internet and cell phone shut down was ordered about 8 hours before the first protest. Very odd. It all looks very staged. Finally, for a 6 day revolution, there are far too few casualties. There is a lot of restraint here, on both sides, very odd.

If anyone missed this, I highly recommend reading it — from Investor’s Business Daily, an excellent analysis:

Will Obama Lose Egypt?

http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/561401/201101281856/Fright-Of-Egypt.htm

“What they - and we - could end up with is another Iran. Is President Obama repeating Carter’s Shah betrayal?

Does the Obama administration realize the difference between freedom-based revolutions and violent overthrows that will help jihadists?

In 2009, the Egyptian daily Almasry Alyoum reported that President Obama secretly met in Washington that year with representatives of Egypt’s jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, the Hamas ally that, while banned, dominates the opposition in the country.”

ElBaradei will be first against the wall once the MB consolidates power.

He is the other side of Jihad.

So not surprised that the same guy that kept trying to tone down statements regarding Iran’s and North Korea’s Nuke Program while attacking Israel’s Nukes.

And the New Castrati shall be shocked (as they often are when reality shatters their fanciful notions of the world).

You may recall that El Baradei pulled a mini Dan Rather on W right before the ‘04 election to try and throw it to Kerry. The man is NOT trustworthy at all.

The protests looked like it was straight out of the Saul Alinsky (American Liberal) playbook. Riot gear on police, dirtbags throwing the gas canisters back, effigies burned, rhetoric shouted, flags trampled. Now a new phase has kicked in and people are actually getting hurt or killed in high numbers.

The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's venerable and controversial Islamic organization

Islam is a vile,barbaric,depraved,perverted 'religion' created by a child molester. It needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

"The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's venerable and controversial Islamic organization, says it has backed Mohamed ElBaradei"

Making ElBaradei toxic.

The only thing worse than Mubarack is The Muslim Brotherhood.
