Reports: Mubarak to say he will step down in August 

The wires are buzzing with uncomfirmed report that Mubarak will tonight say on Egyptian TV that he won’t run for re-election in August and will stand down then.

Update: The New York Times  is now reporting that President Obama has pushed Mubarak to say publicly that he won’t run again. The end game appears to be rapidly approaching.
