No, just trying to limit this old man's confusion.

ElBaradei is the guy who's hoping to take up the reins - at least for an interim basis.

Not surprised the way this has turned out at all, given I predicted this situation as a distinct possibility two weeks ago.

We should turn you into an oracle

**Wezil** · January 28, 2011, 15:32

You were hardly alone on that. Tunisia got everyone looking at other arab countries.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say this is a distinct possibility in Yemen and Jordan.

**MOBIUS** · January 28, 2011, 15:42

Except IIRC you replied to my post by saying that you didn't think it was likely to happen in Egypt...

**MOBIUS** · January 28, 2011, 15:42

Yemen perhaps, Jordan I don't think so.

**MOBIUS** · January 28, 2011, 15:43

Also Algeria, Libya, Syria no

**MOBIUS** · January 28, 2011, 15:44

There, those are my predictions laid on the table for all to see.

**N35t0r** · January 28, 2011, 15:47

Don't worry Wezil, I'm sure we can work out you and Mobius working shifts inside the oracle no problem

You do not RC. I said the commentary I read about internet/cell use being lower in Egypt made it less likely.

I took no position on whether it would happen or not but certainly considered it a distinct possibility, hence my interest in the topic.

You said I was hardly alone, inferring that you agreed with me, whereas when I was talking it up - you were talking it down. People can make their own minds up on our respective positions on this topic...

**N35t0r** · January 28, 2011, 15:57

Look, I'll even throw in a room for each of you, deal?

**Wezil** · January 28, 2011, 15:59

Link it. I'm pretty sure my position was as stated above. I didn't have a position as I recall but memory may fail me.

Regardless, the prediction is lame. It was also a "distinct possibility" Tunisia would be a one-off. If you want to take credit for predicting what everyone was talking about I guess that's your prerogative.

If you really want to impress me with your foresight on this issue show me a prediction of this sort pre-Tunisia. That would impress me.

Exactly.

The claim and the argument.
