A senior Brotherhood leader, Essam el-Erian, told The Associated Press he was heading to Tahrir Square to meet with other opposition leaders. Though the Brotherhood has made some statements suggesting it was willing to let ElBaradei act as pointman in any negotiations, el-Erian also suggested the movement wants a major role. He told one Egyptian TV station that the Brotherhood is ready to contact the army for a dialogue, calling the military "the protector of the nation."
A western friendly front of an Islamic fundamentalist state?
Where have I heard this before.
At least we will still have someone to give Chinese money to.

WASHINGTON, Jan 30, 2011 (AFP) - The United States is "losing credibility by the day" in calling for democracy in Egypt while continuing to support President Hosni Mubarak, leading dissident Mohamed ElBaradei said Sunday.
ElBaradei repeated his call for the longtime strongman to step down, going so far as to assert it should happen within the next three days.
"The American government cannot ask the Egyptian people to believe that a dictator who has been in power for 30 years will be the one to implement democracy," ElBaradei told US network CBS from Cairo.
"You are losing credibility by the day. On one hand youre talking about democracy, rule of law and human rights, and on the other hand youre lending still your support to a dictator that continues to oppress his people," added ElBaradei, the former head of the UNs International Atomic Energy Agency.

Nothing wrong with the US statements IMO...Now it's up to Egypt to determine their own fate.
