Tahrir Square Live, Friday Evening in Cairo

Mubarak steps down and the crowds are jubilant.

It's like a fourth of July in Egypt.

The streets are filled with exited young and old citizens. Traffic has ground to a halt as drivers have stopped and are dancing around their cares

As I write it's 8:17PM in Cairo and the firework are going off around Tahrir as well as in Lebanon when VP Suleiman announced the resignation.

It appears the Egyptian military is in full control.

President Obama will make an announcement in 10 minutes, at 1:30 PM EST.
