It's understood that the Egyptian military hired the Black Eyed Peas in an effort to disperse the crowd after Mubarak's resignation speech.

Christopher Lee resigned his job because:

A) His focus is entirely upon saving his marriage and family now
B) Not suitable behaviour for a "family values" elected official.
C) This is really just the tip of the iceberg - if still a GOP congressman, the scrutiny would be never-ending and even more revealing.

Seriously - don't you think the resignation was a bit abrupt? Or is he indeed that humiliated?

So, the statement by Mubarak is delayed an hour ... Egyptian TV now showing corruption story alongside picture of Tahrir Square crowd.

Geesh - you don't think he's fighting the army? Is he still in Cairo or has he indeed been spirited elsewhere for his national broadcast?

He's blaming outsiders! Oh my gawd .... this guy is stubborn.

He sure talked alot and said pretty much nothing. He must be thick as a brick if he doesnt get it that the people dont want him anymore. They want freedom and I commend them for seeking it and not backing down, the military is also to be commended for protecting the people.

How democracy and freedom will function or even exist in a country where its citizens voted for a theocracy should be telling. The Muslim Brotherhood, who publicly stated it would not be running candidates in the election, recently took 45% of Parliament. Other theocratic based parties took an additional 15% of seats, ensuring a solid majority.

In hindsight was the U.S. involvement and assistance in facilitating the formation of yet another theocracy in the mid-east a mistake? Considering Egypt’s more than capable military, should the U.S. now be concerned with a religiously based ruling political party, whose initial move into politics was a lie?

Whether or not the evolvement of Egypt into a theocracy would have taken place without U.S. assistance will never be known. More than likely but what is known is $3 billion plus would have been saved remaining on the sidelines.

The fact this administration so easily dispensed with the cash is a much truer indication of the concern they have for ‘taxpayer money’ than the false words pleading for the opportunity to streamline government.

i thought the u.s. got a lot of criticism for backing mubarek, even after it was evident he was going to be deposed? now we were supporters??

sloppy thing, democracy. the voters spoke; if they voted in the muslim brotherhood, so be it.
as for foreign aid, one of the favorite whipping boys of fans of smaller government-that amount is a drop in the bucket. again, the biggest drains on our treasury are defense and then medicare/aid/ss. you can add up every other budget item, every other department-the totals don't add up to what those two albatrosses equal.
