It seemed obvious to me, and now that it has entered the realm of real possibility it will be hard to ignore. Muhamed Elbaradei is now the de-facto choice to lead Egypt, as chosen by the Muslim Brotherhood. Iran, and Hamas will, of course throw their two drachma's into the cauldron, and after stirring vigorously the resulting stew will be one of a bitter and poisonous nature.
Elbaradei will be presented as a good "moderate" choice to replace Mubarak, even with the commections with the MB, Hamas and Iran. Our Western leaders will tell us that Hamas is a group we can work with, that Iran really is not a threat to us directly, and the Muslim Brotherhood is just a social organization looking out for the welfare of poor Egyptians.

Although the Muslim Brotherhood is officially banned from running for elections for parliament, some movement members have presented candidacy for parliament as independents.
"War is deceit"
Gamal Nasser, a spokesman for the Brotherhood, told DPA that his group was in talks with Mohammed ElBaradei - the former UN nuclear watchdog chief - to form a national unity government without the National Democratic Party of Mubarak.
The group is also demanding an end to the draconian Emergency Laws, which grant police wide-ranging powers The laws have been used often to arrest and harass the Islamist group.
Nasser said his group would not accept any new government with Mubarak. On Saturday the Brotherhood called on President Mubarak to relinquish power in a peaceful manner following the resignation of the Egyptian cabinet.
Speaking to CNN later Sunday, ElBaradei said he had a popular and political mandate to negotiate the creation of a national unity government.
"I have been authorized -- mandated -- by the people who organized these demonstrations and many other parties to agree on a national unity government," he told CNN.
"I hope that I should be in touch soon with the army and we need to work together. The army is part of Egypt," the opposition leader added.
Depending on which side they are on, Mr. Elbaradei.

It's entertaining to read a Zionist trying to preach to the Egyptian uprising. "Most people believe that as long as a country supports Israel that much, people cannot be happy with America" - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/egypt/8292072/Egypt-crisis-will-Obama-trust-80-million-Egyptians.html
That's pretty moderate. Enjoy it while it lasts, losers.
