Is It Good For The GAME?

Long War: Egypt is currently being run by its vice-president, Suleiman, the former head of Egyptian intelligence. Mubarak is not actually running the government and has no ability to issue orders to the Egyptian Army. Suleiman could therefore depose Mubarak and establish a caretaker government. In fact the first steps in this process have begun.
It would be much better if Suleiman were to run the interim government rather than ElBaradei. There is a chance (I think a slight chance) that the Muslim Brotherhood could make ElBaradei its puppet. The Brotherhood practically pees its pants when it thinks about Suleiman. He is a jihadist killing machine. Interestingly, as soon as it looked like Suleiman might become the next leader of Egypt, a Brotherhood spokesman said they wouldn't run a candidate for President in the Sept. elections. If they really didn't run a candidate it would be unbelieveably good news.
The dynamic powering all these activities is the fact that the Egyptian Army is 100% designed, trained, equipped and supplied by the Pentagon and the US defense industry. If war were to break out between Egypt and Israel both countries would be totally dependent on the American military-industrial complex. It would be like a chess player moving both the black and white pieces on the board. In other words there really can't be a war between the two most powerful players in the Mideast. So the alliances that both countries have with the Untied States effectively forces them into alliance with each other. The upheaval in Egypt is (so far) strengthening the GAME. What's good for the GAME is good for the stock market. And we see that the global interlocking alliance structure has a mind of its own, not necessarily taking all its cues from the US President.
