Mubarak standing down as PM
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/10...pt=T1&iref=BN1
[Update 6:04 p.m. in Cairo, 11:04 a.m. ET] Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has agreed to yield power to his vice president, a senior U.S. official told CNN's John King, citing contacts within the Egyptian government.
[Update 6 p.m. in Cairo, 11 a.m. ET] There is a strong likelihood that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will step down Thursday night, CIA Director Leon Panetta told Congress.
[Update 5:58 p.m. in Cairo, 10:58 a.m. ET] Cairo's Tahrir Square is packed and the atmosphere is festive amid talk that President Hosni Mubarak may deliver important remarks to the country later on Thursday.
[Update 5:55 p.m. in Cairo, 10:55 a.m. ET] National Intelligence Director James Clapper defended U.S. intelligence operations in Egypt, telling members of Congress that accurate information has been provided, but "specific triggers" for incidents that will cause a regime to fall cannot always be accurately predicted. "We are not clairvoyant," he said.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offered condolences to the friends and loved ones of Khairy Ramadan Aly, who went missing on January 28 and has been confirmed dead. Aly was a carpenter for the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

So much for this, he didn't give up power at all. Based on everyone's reactions prior to the speech, including Obama's statements, it seems like Mubarak decided to hold on at the last minute (or lied his ass off previously.)

I'm a little worried about who is going to be running the provisional government though.

Me too, but I'm praying for the best! I hope that who or whatever comes in will have the best interest of Egypt at heart and will honor/continue to honor the peace treaty with Israel (and encourage others to do the same).

I would be terrified because power is going to the military, which is how this whole mess started. BUT since the military didn't back Mubarak from the beginning, there might be hope for a peaceful and orderly transition. Wonder if the UN will send observers.
