Egypt’s Prime Minister and John Kerry on the Egyptian Revolution and More Sunday Talk

Prime Minister: Mubarak Will Stay Until September

Maybe President Mubarak isn't in a rush.

Kerry: Mubarak's Got to Go

President Mubarak doesn't have to leave Egypt but might want to reconsider leaving the presidency.

In reference to special envoy to Egypt Frank Wisner's comments that Mubarak doesn't necessarily have to leave immediately, Kerry said that the U.S. has been crystal clear—Mubarak must step aside gracefully and immediately.

Contrary to what some think, she said, Egyptians have more options for leadership than just Mubarak and the Muslim Brotherhood.
