the administration is bent out of shape that mubarak didn't step down, apparently. they had been given to believe that was the next step and had started to try to get out in front of it in the usual way. the palace turmoil interpretation makes sense to me---i would imagine this wasn't decided upon until the last minute. the speech---which is a hallmark in the annals of vague ("some powers" were delegated to suleiman. which ones? all of them? who's in charge in egypt now? it's a temporary thing, according to the constitution....so is suleiman in charge until mubarak sez he isn't? what the fuck?)
tomorrow could be revolution.
the blunder has happened from the state.
people are mobilized in great number and are PISSED.....and i would expect that you'll see a LOT of people out tomorrow. what's interesting is that the protests keep growing, drawing in people who were not previously involved....but we'll see.
