Secret US diplomatic cables have revealed that Egypt’s Vice President Omar Suleiman was long seen by Israel as the preferred candidate to succeed President Hosni Mubarak.
According to an August 2008 cable released by WikiLeaks and published by the Daily Telegraph newspaper on its website, a senior adviser from the Israeli Ministry of Defense told US diplomats in Tel Aviv that the Israelis believe Suleiman would likely serve as “at least an interim president if Mubarak dies or is incapacitated.” A US diplomat who classified the cable, Luis Moreno, wrote that although he deferred to the Embassy in Cairo for Egyptian succession scenario analysis, “there is no question that Israel is most comfortable with the prospect of” Suleiman. The cable quoted the adviser to Israel’s defense ministry, David Hacham, as saying an Israeli delegation led by Defense Minister Ehud Barak was “shocked by Mubarak’s aged appearance and slurred speech,” when it met him in Egypt. “Hacham was full of praise for Soliman, however,” it said.

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):
Akhi netprince:
Based upon your views and response I am surprised that the thread was even allowed.
The systematic brainwashing and acceptance of appointed puppets in Muslim dominated countries that have autocratic governments supported with foreign aid from the United States and Western allies shouldn't surprise you. The dictatorships have been a way of life. Those who had opposed have been tortured and killed.
The feel good stories and threads are expected.
Where was the outcry before the protests on the tyrant governments that suppressed the rights of its Muslims citizens? Very limited if at all.
The literate and educated Muslim masses that have benefited by being sent to the United States and West for education and then returning with rhetoric on how they hate and despise their masters to the uneducated masses is a known fact. Review the majority of governments in Muslim dominated countries that promote anti American and Zionist rhetoric and see where they went to college. Will surprise you.
