I'm Predicting:

Mubarak did not step down from office last night.

Instead, while he remains in place he will begin the process of making transitions and instituting changes.

Mubarak believes that the military is behind him. There was a real question as to whether the army really was behind him, but from last night's speech it appears clear that he has their backing - and he knows it.

There will be riots and food shortages and fuel shortages and many, many, deaths. The army will come in and clamp down.

The military will have to take charge. Omar Suleiman is an army person - as is Mubarak.

Expect mayhem.
