Your head may hurt trying to understand the situation in Egypt

Mine does. But as the best I can describe, this is what occurred today:

News from Egypt was instantly interesting today when rumors surfaced that Hosni Mubarak would resign as President.. confimed later by Leon Panetta of the CIA.. Later in the day, Mubarak did NOT resign but instead, the Vice President of Egypt told protesters to go home.. Nothing to see here. Keep moving. Until Friday, when protesters in Egypt plan a large demonstration on Hosni’s palace. The ball is in the military’s court now..
Now.. why? Well that’s anyone’s guess.

We seem to be caught off guard on this one..
