Mubarak Vows To Stay

This will not diffuse the crisis in Egypt. I fear this is going to get bloodier.

Looks like the Whitehouse got a .." Shut up kid...stay out of my business"...from Mubarak.
After getting a green light from the Saudi's yesterday , It didn't look likely that he would step down. He must want order first... and a smooth transition, which will take TIME.

Mr. Tabin,
the sad part is that the Muslims don't really care about "bloody".
.....just another day at the jihad office...."darn, where is that paper-clip?"
Muhhamed gomer got smoked today...hmmm, that paper-clip has to be here somewhere..."

Mubarak is well aware that stepping down under pressure from a mob is dangerous for stability. He's right to say no. It might get bloodier, but he's said that he will remain for the remainder of his term and not run for re-election. The mob should accept that go home.

What should we expect of Obama, as damaging he and his influence and policies are, if a million strong crowd appeared in DC and demanded loudly that he resign? Where does it end if he did?

Quartermaster,
read my book, take a roller coaster ride, and discover where it will...begin again.
