Mubarak: I Want To Go, But I Must Stay For The Good Of Egypt

Hosni: Gee, how I want to go, but just imagine the chaos if I leave. Tsk, tsk, guess I'll just have to stay.

It's not that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak wants to stay in power, you understand; he's "fed up" with being President but has no choice other than to carry on — because if he quits, the result will be chaos and a Muslim Brotherhood takeover. And in an extended interview on state-controlled Nile TV, Vice President Omar Suleiman — Mubarak's intelligence chief and the power behind his throne — made clear that the regime is digging in for a fight.
