White House sells out Egyptians

Supposedly the White House is negotiating a transitional government for Egypt. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/04/world/middleeast/04diplomacy.html Will it be led by Mohamed ElBaradei?

Nope:
The Obama administration is discussing with Egyptian officials a proposal for President Hosni Mubarak to resign immediately, turning over power to a transitional government headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman with the support of the Egyptian military, administration officials and Arab diplomats said Thursday.
That's our bipartisan foreign policy establishment!

The story does note that this decision could be contingent on the mood in the "Egyptian street." That said, for Team Obama to even consider this - and even more, to announce its decision for public consumption - is pure-D dumb.
