CNN: Emergency meeting for Administration/Nat Sec Advisors
Administration caught completely offguard. John King: " This is not what they thought was going to happen, this is not what they were expecting to happen, this is not what they were told would happen" oops!

19. "We're watching History Unfold" - that wasn't John King's bullshit, was it?

9. Well, if they did, they would have considered every contingency at least.
Something the Corporitist-in-Chief seemingly does not.

12. Dunno if that's true or not but a +1...I didn't see much comment on the reports that....
...King Abdullah had offered to personally bankroll Mubarak. I don't know if that's true but if true, I mean how incredibly telling is that? PB

11. Were they expecting the protesters to accept Suleiman as a caretaker/regent in place of Mubarak?
The people are growing enraged.

16. Honestly, I think the U.S. is hoping that shell game would fool somebody but they...
...were fearful that it would not. BTW, the demonstrators have been some of the most passionate, intelligent, thoughtful protestors for any large political movement I may have seen. PB

enraged because that didn't happen.
