I'll step up for a shot.
Obama, his minions and allies, including State, the media, and all the international leftists and wannabee revolutionaries have been all playing their tried-and-true "inevitability" game, with the goal of putting the MB in power in Egypt. "The outcome is pre-ordained." "The will of the people will not be denied." And so on.
However, the opposition here is not the American GOP, which can be relied upon to roll over and display its fuzzy belly. Mubarak has been dealing with dangerous folks for a long, long time. I doubt he's all that impressed by Code Pink.
So now the MalAdministration looks undermining, dishonest and stupid, all of which is entirely appropriate.
What's next in Egypt? Depends on how strong a hand MB and its leftist allies think they actually have. Mubarik wouldn't have given today's speech unless he could count on substantial support from the Army. The leftislamic coalition is likely to continue agitating at a level short of major violence, with an eye on the fall elections.

Dead on accurate. I wish every elected GOP official had to read this and then look in the mirror and decide whether he's going to be a man or a mouse.
