4. Oh that kicks ass
LOL. That kicks ass. When I heard that I wanted to go outside and scream at the top of my lungs. Of course it's 11:07pm here and my neighbors probably would call the police on me for disrupting them.

3. Egypts reforms are a fraud.
They basically jury rig the system so the ruling party is the only viable competitor. And Bush is signing on with this?

6. I doubt seriously that the U.S. wants...
... Mubarek to go away. What Bush wants are "free and fair elections" which install Mubarek. Given Mubarek's repression of religious extremists and pro-democracy groups in Egypt, fair elections would likely put a coalition of both of those repressed groups into government, to the great chagrin of the White House and Foggy Bottom....
