“I applaud President Mubarak’s decision to step down. This was obviously a very difficult decision for President Mubarak, but it is the right decision for Egypt. History will note that President Mubarak’s last action in office was in the best interest of the country he loves.
“While this is a welcomed event, the Egyptian people are clearly saying that President Mubarak’s resignation should be the beginning, not the end, of their country’s transition to democracy. I completely agree. For the Egyptian people to achieve the legitimate and enduring democratic change they seek, representatives from Egypt’s pro-democracy parties and movements must be included in the transition government. In advance of elections later this year, Egyptians must be free to exercise their universal rights peacefully – to speak and express themselves without interference, including over the internet; to organize independent political parties; to register candidates of their choosing for office; and to participate in elections that are free and fair by international standards.
“In the days ahead, the Egyptian military will continue to have a critical role in maintaining order and stability while allowing their fellow Egyptians to exercise their universal rights in peace. The Egyptian people are demanding a meaningful and irreversible transition to democracy, and I urge the Egyptian military to faithfully support and secure the coming process of political change in Egypt.
“The United States stands fully ready to assist the Egyptian people and government as they begin the hard work of democratic reform.”

McCain is turning out to be just like Obama, but now available in white.
McCain who?
Looks like McCain will push for the US to increase foreign aid to this newly muslim nation ....
Now wid fity percent mo cracker.
McCain reminds me of one of those zombie-like Politburo members clapping on cue during Stalin’s speeches.
What part of “Shut up and go away” does this guy —
Oh well. He never does.
McCain who asked you your opinion? STFU and go away!!
McCain / Palin 2012 ! ( not )
McCain is an idiot.
He should be hanging out with Chris Matthews. It’d be like the Skipper and Gilligan without the same heavy scholarly focus.
I give democracy a less than 1 percent chance of being the final outcome to this. The Law of Unintended Consequences will be overwhelmingly proved correct once again.
Guess we will be watching Cairo now. Are there other dictators hiding in their palaces? China?
This was not a “spontaneous uprising for democracy” as the media wants you to believe. It was a well organized, coordinated, rebellion. it was organizated, coordinated, and instigated by the man who pulls obama’s strings, George Soros. Its purpose was to further isolate Israel and eliminate an ally of America and destableize the area.
Hey McCain...shut up.
The Egyptian Ayatollahs are coming, and they want to kill your @$$.
STFU Juan McLame
no one cares what you think
The United States stands fully ready to assist the Egyptian people and government as they begin the hard work of democratic reform.
I trust that the senator will keep a tight hold on whatever purse strings he may be able to have access to. One can almost wince at the possible demands for foreign aid by the regime (whatever it is).
I found a neat definition for the word "Euphoria".
"A sense of happiness and well being which is based on something that does not have realty or any basis of fact".
Well something like that anyway. I smile wryly at this kind of thing in the past. The sycophants and hangers on at a big event, who then fade away. CNN may have a lot to answer for eventually. As of now, they consider themselves pretty big players on the world scene. The usuage of this media takes things to a different level. Time will tell.
This man is certifiable.
ROFL.
