CAIRO — Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak is to step down Thursday night, two sources told NBC News, as widespread protests against his 30-year rule continue to grip the country.

Following an all-day meeting of the country's supreme military council, the army said all of the protesters' demands would be met and that a further statement was due to be made later Thursday that would clarify the situation.

NBC News reported that a high-ranking source inside the president's office said Mubarak would step down and the newly appointed vice president, Omar Suleiman, would take over. This was then confirmed by a second source.

The news came following repeated warnings by members of the regime of a military crackdown or coup.

Some pro-democracy protesters reacted cautiously, saying they would only believe Mubarak was really resigning when he announces it on state television.

Just reported he's not stepping down. I'd suggest you get your facts straight from now on. Interesting that you attack others for the very same thing you just did.

Hypocrite.

Even if Mubarak stays in power there is no way in hell he's going to go back to being an ally of the Obama regime. Yet another disastrous handling of foreign affairs.

Funny thing is that the story on the nukes is still evolving and the sos has not really responded other than the nonsense about about START which nile gardiner sliced and diced.

obama talking at all during the process was a mistake. but, he had leaders from ISR, Saudis, and who konws else, pressuring him.

LOL @ the GOP 2012ers who all kept silent and refused to comment their opinion - who are gonna be shitting all over obama for it. Like romney refusing to take a position on the Surge until it was over, then crapping on obama for being against it. oh brother... better to be wrong and have some conviction, some actual beliefs, than to just be quiet and hate all over everyone else for it.

The Saudis told him to shut the fuck up and said that they would bankroll Mubarak and keep him in power if Obama wouldn't. This is on his head. Not the Saudi's, Israel or anyone else. The Obama regime has flip flopped almost 10 times in the span of a week on this and now they're reaping the repercussions of it.

This started 2 years ago when he sat silent as the Iranian govt. decimated the Iranian populace when they shut down their protests.

hey, like i said, him talking at all was a mistake. either stand with our ally, or stand in the way of democracy... a lose/lose. i'd recommend bush stay quiet too.

that being said, any politician who didn't share their opinion, on either party, should STFu with criticism. it's monday night quarterbacking if they didn't get on record til it is settled.

you are one dumb fu#k,its about the sources retard,and if you would have read my other post you would see i wrote that the prime minister is denying it, he says no decision has been made. will have to wait and see tonight. but your too stupid to do that,but that's to be expected.

Fury · « **Reply #20 on:** February 10, 2011, 02:05:29 PM »

Figures this hypocritical twat can't admit that he just did exactly what he was all over 333 for supposedly doing. Pot meet kettle. I suggest you get your facts straight next time. A good start would be not taking everything said on MSNBC as fact. Hope this helps.

"your too stupid"

yep. nobody had any business saying anything. "Egypt is our ally and we are well aware of the situation." That should have been it. period. We're shitting on our friend, or democracy... i mean, the dude is a tyrant as sadaam (although more greedy than violent), right? Bad dude we're keeping in for our own goals.

better to just say nothing in that case. ya know biden likes to talk tho.
