Two key senators offered and passed a resolution on Thursday that calls for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to hand over power to a caretaker government.
The resolution offered by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) also call for elections and urges that Egypt’s military demonstrate “maximum professionalism and restraint” in working to restore order.
In a floor speech, McCain warned that the situation in Egypt could turn into a “genuine massacre.”
“We cannot afford that, and we must do everything in our power to see that it stops,” McCain said. “This is a seminal moment in the history of the Middle East and the world. We are seeing an uprising and a movement that spread across the entire Middle East.”
McCain called for Mubarak to give up power on Wednesday following a meeting at the White House with President Obama.
Protests in the streets of Cairo on Thursday were violent for a second day in a row as forces loyal to and against Mubarak’s government battled in the streets.
Kerry said all stakeholders in Egypt must respect human rights.
“We urge the parties involved to take every step possible to avoid violence and to respect the rights of the people in Egypt to assemble, to express their rights, to fight for and demonstrate for a transition in their lives and in their country,” said Kerry.
This is the first resolution to be offered by any senators on the crisis in Egypt. Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) quickly joined as cosponsors.

Birds of a feather the four of them...
Oh that will do it....idiots.
I just don’t trust our own gov’t to do what’s best for America anymore.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
the two traitors...who woulda thunk it?
Transition to what?
Looks like a rush to islamomarxism to me.
Can’t understand why a decorated war hero would have anything to do with an unrepentant, anti-American bastard like Kerry. McLame deserved to lose, but look what won.
Traitors.
Is there anyone in congress not too stupid to know what country they were elected to help govern?
Does this mean that 0baMao didn’t have enough power behind his demands that Mubarak step down? So two loser traitor failed pres candidates are picking up the puppet’s slack.
You're only senators, not emperors. Stop embarrassing your fellow Americans.
Well, that’ll fix things right up. No sweat. Now they can go back to ignoring the borders, unemployment, and the national debt.
I simply cannot believe how STUPID McCain is.
It is exactly how he lost the last election.
I’m so confused, looks like we need a Revolution here.
I can’t wait for the Egyptian government to pass a resolution that calls for Obama to step down and hand over power to a caretaker government...
I can understand how two idiots like that could introduce a resolution, but how to they “pass” it?
Would someone PLEASE test these blithering idiots!! I mean, Soldiers and Marines are piss tested for drugs...and Im guessing these two arseholes are LOADED with them!!!!
My GOD!!!!!!! PLEASE..........SOMEONE MAKE THEM SHUT THE EFF UP and GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!! (rant off)
