Mubarak's last hope
Bringing a small group of what are supposed to be the plain-cloth para military force of Mubarak is akin to clinging to the last straw. Earlier his sacking of the Interior Minster followed by removing the cabinet and replacing it with new cabinet headed by the retired military men has brought no fruitful results. The next 72 hours is going to see more deaths on the streets because of his Ostrich like approach of ignoring reality and sticking to the power. He is doomed; the earlier he realises it the better it is.
He should remember that like the late Shah of Iran his friends in the West won't let him settle on their soils. Even Saudi Royals would be reluctant to let him settle there because of the consequences of Egyptian uprising which has already unnerved the King of Jordan and other dictators in Arab world.
