NO... the Marines would be defending the US embassy should this get ugly... they would not be there to defend the current regime..

The US Embassy soil is considered US soil... sorry for any confusion..

If you think about it, there's not really another coherent point to that speech.

Ahmed Mekkawy in Alexandria tweets:

"North area military command center is getting totally surrounded by protestors. I swear something big will happen in Alexandria today."

What change is he talking about?

Mubarak stepping down tonight...Not!

I hate "not" Jokes, so i think its only appropriate to make one now.

Wether your believe in the power of thought or not, lets send the Egyptians encouragement and strength to keep up the peaceful protests, they're gonna need it.

"Non-violence is a weapon of the strong." Ghandi

Obama watched Mubarak's speech on AF1 and is now headed back for a meeting with his national security team.

The VP Omar Suleiman is speaking now.

he can ask all he wants we all know this isnt going to end until he stand down...

Obama probably is as confused by all this as we are which says something.

Mubarak essentially just gave Obama and Clinton the finger.

I can only imagine where this is going to lead.

I agree with you there, because we all know the U.S. as saviors and like to get mixed into a lot of foreign issues. I don't think the Egyptian Government would mass kill crowds, because if the U.S. or U.N was too see that it will be a rescue/humanitarian mission, and I don't think we could afford to do that kind of thing right now...All we can do is sit back and relax, let the Egyptian people decide what route they want to take...

Protestors are not going to find him in Alexandria because he's not there and nor is he in Cairo. Mubarak has already gone to his palace in the South.

They are testing the crowds.....but they are going no where.

WAIT...STOP....lets all stop watching CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera....and get ALL our world news and knowledge from just one person.....bluemirage5.
All world media and reporters are wrong.
Has anyone even looked at some of his posts a dozen pages back?
How can one ATS forum poster know exactly what and where this creep Mubarak is/was/will be...and nobody else knows? Seriously.

I am in utter awe!

Tomorrow we will go to the palace in millions. Tomorrow he will have to kill millions of martyrs.

My, doesn’t that sound familiar. How the veil wears so thin, so quickly.

A “revolution of the people” My ASS

Now they are talking about the protesters being heroes. Hes calling them to go back though. oh no. and hes saying not to listen to satelite stations (al jazeera)

The crowds MUST stay where they are; they are being tested.

This is also to exit Mubarak gently to save face.

Notice different surroundings between Mubarak and Suleiman during their speeches!

What is this nonsense spewing from the VP?

I'm having flashbacks of Iraq's information minister.

this is all like some weird tom clancy movie.

The change of September elections to next year.

Which means he didn't fare better than Mubarak...Tomorrow will be a bad day...
