Apparently Mubarak didn't get the memo about resigning. The army may not be happy. The crowd is downright incensed

From what I can tell, he's deliberately trying to drive them into a fury.

According to someone on ONTD_P:

"Fareed Zachariah offers solemn assessment -- Mubarak regime totally baited the people into getting pissed enough to possibly storm federal buildings.

...And yeah, I can see violence used to subdue dissent being easier to justify if one can spin it as 'controlling impending mob vigilantism'. "

ETA: Oh my God. This man. Him and Suleiman. OH MY GOD.

I also wonder if it's possible that there's now a massive split within the power structure. After all, if the NDP wants to survive they need to cut themselves free of the dead weight who is Mubarak. The military can't like him either now. Mubarak, however, has nothing to lose. I wonder if people are trying to jettison him, and he's trying very hard not to be jettisoned.
