Guess who doesn't quite understand what's going on in Egypt? Earlier today, the rumors began:
President Hosni Mubarak will say in a speech Tuesday that he will step down at the next election but would stay in office until then, Al Arabiya TV has reported.In an address to his nation, which just concluded, Mubarak confirmed that he won't run again in September. He said, among other things, "I have spent enough time serving Egypt."
It did not give a source for the news.
On Tuesday, at least one million people rallied across Egypt clamoring for Mubarak to give up power, piling pressure on a leader who has towered over Middle East politics for 30 years to make way for a new era of democracy in the Arab nation.
