But wait a minute! Maybe Mubarak is not president anymore

The Egyptian ambassador to the U.S. just now told Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that “the Constitution retains power” but Hosni Mubarak has transferred all the powers to the vice president. The dialogue between Blitzer and Ambassador Sameh Shoukry is very confusing.

Blitzer asked why couldn’t Mubarak say what he had to say where all could understand it? Skoukry said he didn’t know.

Is this spin?

Skoukry says the head of state of Egypt is the president who has transferred all of his power to the vice president. Mubarak has no power.

With such lack of clarity, no wonder hundreds of thousands are on the street pissed off.
