If Mubarak has any dignity left at all, he should resign now and give the power to the people of Egypt. But he is still listening too much to his Israeli and US masters who want an 'orderly transition'.
His speech today promising not to run for reelection in September is simply made to give the US and Israel more time to influence the process.
Dictators who spend their political life terrifying others are in fact very weak people and, from the beginning, Mubarak, USrael's 'strong' man, showed only his weak side. These people have no compass to guide them through moral dilemmas. After all, they are puppets...
The US is definitely cooking something. Israel is freaking out at the prospect of Egypt without Mubaraks. The interests of the small Israeli nation are at the heart of the US self-suicidal and murderous policy in the region, not the hundred millions of Arabs, not the hundred millions of US citizens.

Absolutely. Israel is still pulling the strings like never before.
that he is being advised by his masters is blatant. Same tactics: do not heed any injunctions, just stick it out as long as we say so.
Annie,
According to AA, Israel has even a security arrangement on the ground in Egypt. I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound reassuring to me...
Controlled opposition is in some ways, worse than the status quo. The military supposedly sides with the protestors against the police, but that sounds like cobblers to me.
As for mutual security, Egyptian border guards were brandishing cattle prods at Gazan refugees attempting to flee the IDF offensive.
Incidentally one of my customers lives there, I'll have to see if I can get back in touch with her...
I don’t think buying time will work. The US is looking more duplicitous by the day.
If he doesn’t go now, he’ll go next week. Leaving behind even more carnage and more criticism of USrael.
Gert,
You may be right.
I think the US is trying to reproduce the Iran's scheme where it was able to steel the victory form progressives to hand it to the mullahs, but this time it won't work, thanks partly to the internet and to the bad reputation the US has now in the region after Iraq. Nobody trusts them anymore.
