It appears that Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak may step down in a matter of hours. The Egyptian army has announced that is has begun "necessary measures to protect the nation and support the legitimate demands of the people,” which many are taking to be a signal it will be taking a lead role in the coming changes. Meanwhile the CIA (which has issues with these kinds of things) thinks there is a “strong likelihood” Mubarak could step down as soon as today, to be replaced by his new VP Omar Suleiman.
