Wikileaks: Mubarak seen by Americans

On May 19, 2009, the United States Embassy in Cairo draws a portrait of President Hosni Mubarak on the eve of a trip the Rats in Washington in a diplomatic telegram revealed by Wikileaks and accessed by Le Monde. Scheduled for late May, the visit will take place, finally, in August, due to the death of a grand-son of Mubarak.

Rais hoped the delicate turn a page on US-Egyptian in favor of the election of Barack Obama to the White House. These expectations will be crowned when the U.S. president will decide in Cairo, June 4, 2009, speech to the attention of Arab and Muslim world. "This is a realistic and true experienced an innate conservative and cautious has little time for idealistic goals.

He considered President Bush as a naive, controlled by his subordinates and absolutely not prepared to According to Saddam Hussein and in particular the rise of Iranian regional influence, "it is written. "He keeps his eyes to ensure that Iraq needs at its head, a strong military, strong but fair." We believe that this description refers to the idea that Mubarak's self- same: a strong man but fair, which guarantees its people basic needs.

" "Nothing better illustrates the worldview that Mubarak is that its response to the request for an opening of Egypt to a genuine democratic competition and a loosening of control of its pervasive security services (...). His basic understanding of the region predisposes to extreme caution (...).

Wherever he saw U.S. efforts [to encourage reform], he points to the chaos and loss of stability that had ensued. "This precaution also applies to its operation." No advice or confidant can not really speak for him, he is also shown. It prevented each of his principal advisers to deviate from their spheres of competence, defined very strictly.

"The defense minister [Mohammed] Tantawi, said the diplomatic telegram, apparently maintains armed forces sharpened the Officers are satisfied with their privileges and Mubarak do not seem concerned that these forces are not well prepared to face external threats of this century. The Chief Omar Soliman Security Services and the Minister of Interior [Habib] Al-Adly keep the beast [terrorism] at bay and Mubarak is not the type to lose sleep because of their small operations.

" "Gamal Mubarak and a handful of officials dealing with the economy and trade, said the American diplomat who wrote this cable, but Mubarak will oppose any new reform when it considered as a potential threat to the public order and stability "." Mubarak is a classic Egyptian who hates religious extremism, and meddling in politics.

[He] wants to save his people from violence, that would cause it was considered to remove the clamp and individual civil liberties. In the spirit of Mubarak, it is better to let some people suffer rather than risk plunging society into chaos, "concluded the diplomatic telegram.
