Egypt: Suleiman's Response to Mubarak's Statement

Egypt - VP Suleiman declares commitment to carry out all goals of the "revolution" and safeguard achievements of youth. Tells them to go home. But he also stated his determination to safeguard Egypt. What does this mean? Is this a guarded warning to the protesters? 

Egypt's economy is suffering as the protests continue. Mubarak has initiated the moves toward a transitional government and constitutional amendments. Mubarak has stepped aside leaving VP Suleiman in charge. But the people in Tahrir Square do not seem disposed to Suleiman's overseeing the transition. Again, the protesters have not put forward anyone who can take on the role. The Muslim Brotherhood continue to be a worry.

Al Jazeera has had commentators saying "the revolution starts tomorrow." Pray they're wrong.
