LA Mideast Egypt.JPEG-07836.jpgEgyptian opposition groups chose leading dissident Mohamed ElBaradei to represent them in negotiations on the country’s future, after the army said it would intervene with a roadmap if political forces do not resolve the crisis by Wednesday.

The June 30 Front, which includes various groups including Tamarod – a grassroots campaign behind Sunday’s record protests against Islamist President Mohamed Morsi – said it had delegated ElBaradei “to be the voice” of the opposition.

The Front “entrusts ElBaradei with the responsibility to ensure the execution of the Egyptian people’s demands and to draft a scenario that aims at the complete implementation of the roadmap for the political transition,” it said in an English-language statement.

      And as some of us know, aging is often the best educator. 😉
      But do they EVER increase our pensions ??? NO !!
      (Oh, give the guy a tiny job like waving at Walmart Shoppers, or pumping gas, so he feels useful, but don’t pay him too much – and make sure you talk it up that there are simply TOO MANY of those old fogies to support with pension plans any more … you know, the plans that we stole to buy politicians that FREE health care and big houses protected by teams of ‘agents’; or used up to give ‘stock options’ to the CEO – before closing the company.)
