BBC News - Egypt unrest

Who called that it would be down to the military?
Anyone know if either him or his wife emptied their savings from the banks ?
That's what happened in Tunisia...1.5 tons of gold taken from the bank and out of the country right before Mr. and Mrs. dictator left themselves.

They won't leave until they've moved their wealth..just like any good dictator would do.

The Army is made up mostly of conscripts.

Al Jazeera has stated the Army has not come out stating if it was on the side of the gov't or the people of Egypt.

Reports that three jets left under heavy security. Other reports suggest Mubarak has left the country.

Who fills in the void?
