Mubarak stepping down tonight/transfers power didn't step down/Steps down Feb 11,

It's time to break out the popcorn. This is going to be a long and bloody night.

I can imagine the POTUS and the State Department are probably waving shoes around at this point.

That was an awful speech.

Will the military actually speak soon? on what?

In America the gloves come off, overseas the shoes come off....

Lets hope it's not something like "You got what you wanted, time to move on".

It's not a made for TV drama. It's people's lives. Real people. Living and dying for democracy. You'll have to forgive me, I realize that "break out the popcorn" is just a figure of speech but it sort of diminishes and makes light of the great risk they are taking. IMHO. Peace.

tomorrow is not gonna be good day. it might turn into a full bloody revolt.

MULLIGAN!

I'm guessing Suleiman's phone call to Obama sounded quite a bit like Prince Charming whining to his mom at the end of Shrek 2.

He said that he will not bow down to foreign pressure ..

did he say that to the USA and Israel ?????

The Military chiefs are very much in charge and Mubarak is powerless. They are buying more time while negotiations are going on behind closed doors. You'll hear more in the coming hours.

In the mean time these protestors are going NO WHERE and tomorrow numbers will be tripled!!!

Demonstrators are saying to the Army "Take us to the palace" according to some on the ground,

It appears that way. Thats what I took from it.

I'm sitting here thinking how much the world has changed in my life. We have gone from waiting days for news about events like this, to watching it live on the Internet and TV.

They're "marching to the palace...". This is farrrr from over.

I hope you're right. Maybe this was upping the ante to keep more of his money or get yet more money. He has been playing this game for 30 years. Maybe he doesn't know when to quit. Maybe he can't.

Egyptian academic Mamoun Fandy says Mr Mubarak's words "will not wash". He says: "These young people are too smart. I don't know whether the disaster will start tonight or tomorrow, but we're in for a huge confrontation. Whoever wrote that speech is living in a bubble."

i agree bubble indeed , talk of marching to remove him...........
