From what I've gathered, out of the phone call with the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt, is that Mubarak has "stepped down" only in the sense that he has 'delegated authority' (which has been a phrase danced around and left vague, even by the ambassador) to Vice President Suleiman, who is said to be nothing more than a 'twin' of Mubarak himself. Mubarak hasn't shown himself to be in a position that completely denies even himself power. Even the ambassador refused to answer the question of whether or not Mubarak retains the authority to retake all power, at a time of his choosing. Face to face interviews with people that are actually in the square are pretty much confirming that what Mubarak did was not enough, and restating (in their own words) what the media has told us (or, at least, what CNN has said. I haven't checked any other outlets on the speech yet).
It's basically the equivalent of the entire country storming the White House and demanding for the entire Obama Administration to leave office now, and then Washington releasing a statement saying that Obama is going to 'delegate authority' to the Vice President (who is a part of that administration), without saying whether or not he will actually be retaining any sort of power for himself.
But if this is a misinterpretation, please let me know what you're seeing, from your side?
