Egypt unrest: US disowns envoy comment on Hosni Mubarak

The US state department has distanced itself from comments by a US special envoy, to the effect that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak should stay in office during a power transition.
"Mr Mubarak has already said he will not stand for re-election as Egypt's president in September, but insists he must stay until then to prevent chaos in the country. Protesters are demanding that he goes immediately."
 "
Mr Wisner, a former ambassador to Egypt, was sent by President Obama to Cairo on Monday, apparently to urge Mr Mubarak to announce his departure"
"
"But in Washington, state department spokesman PJ Crowley said:We have great respect for Frank Wisner and we were deeply appreciative of his willingness to travel to Egypt last week"
"
On Friday US President Barack Obama urged Mr Mubarak to "make the right decision" and to begin the transition "now", without explicitly saying he should step down"
I think because of lots of attentions these days gave to Egypt,and because Mubarak is a dictator with absolute protection from USA it is very important for middle eastern that what will US governors do with new Revelations.
