8. Doesn't sound like he's stepping down so far...
He's saying that he promises to punish those who have engaged in violation and renewed his promise to protect the Constitution.

9. Evidently it's only the "youth" of the nation dissatisfied. Only children.

13. Wow, he's defiant.
He could have resigned, at least, saved face,and handed it over to his sham vice president, but no.

He's gonna be routed out, and publicly disembowled. The next few days will be ugly, ugly.

14. The crowd just started chanting something
Al Jazeera is showing a split-screen with Mubarak and the crowd.
They were listening quietly until now.

Symbol of absolute repudiation in that culture.

20. He finished his speech, the Al Jazeera reporter says the crowd is angry.
They have analysts on now analyzing the speech.

26. "We're in for a huge confrontation"
From the BBC: Egyptian academic Mamoun Fandy says Mr Mubarak's words "will not wash". He says: "These young people are too smart. I don't know whether the disaster will start tonight or tomorrow, but we're in for a huge confrontation. Whoever wrote that speech is living in a bubble."
