a $2 billion financial aid package to help egypt, struggling after fall of president mubarak as well as tunisia. mr. obama had strong words on the crackdown of anti-government protestors in syria. he said president bashar al assad can lead the transition or, and i'm quoting the president right now, "get out of the way." . >> the syrian government must stop shooting demonstrators and allow peaceful protests. it must release political prisoners and stop unjust arrests. it must allow human rights monitors to have access to cities like dara. and start a serious dialogue to advance a democratic transition. otherwise, president assad and had his regime will continue to be challenged from within and will continue to be isolated abroad. so far, syria has followed its iranian ally, seeking assistance from tehran in the tactics of suppression. and this speaks to the hypocrisy of the iranian regime, which says it stands for the rights of protesters abroad, yet represses its own people at home. >> the president says the uprisings in the middle east make peace talk between the israelis and palestinians more urg

mr. kirk: more than ten months ago, a popular uprising swept president hosni mubarak from office. the egyptian military is now charged with reforming that country's military system with preparation for a parliamentary and presidential election. history teaches us that this sort of transition happens in three phases, not two. first, the dictator falls. next follows a weak interim government. and only then does a final, permanent government enter the scene. we remember the french revolution with the fall of louis 16. then the hopefulness of the french. then we remember the october ref liewlings, first the fall of the czar. then the hopefulness of the interim karenski government, thent rise of the soviet union. most recently we remember iran, first the fall of the shah. then the hopefulness of the interim batiar government. thent rise of khomeini. today we're watching this sequence play out in egypt. first mubarak fell. then came the juvenile diabetes listing and the hopefulness of an interim military govment now we're left to wonder what act 3 will bring. will egypt remain a strong

uncertainty in dealing with president mubarak before withdrawing his support, and if i can say so, withdrawing his support suddenly. after hesitating for several weeks and allowing mr. qadhafi to regroup, we then authorized u.s. participation in a nato air operation with a confusing mission that doesn't have the kind of u.s. leadership that it might have benefited from. and then in syria, we stood on the sidelines for weeks while terrible things happened to pro-freedom demonstrators before we fine lail us an nod a series of sanctions just this week. we all recall that in 2509 the iranian regime possibliably could have been unseeded by proponents of freedom. at that time, the president and the united states barely liflt add finger to support those elements. indeed, the president's entire narrative has been unclear since he took office as it relates -- since the time he took office from the time of his cairo speech in 2009. i think that speech has left our friends in the arab world both disillusioned and confused. nobody from the american people to the arab streets seems sure what our policy is in support of freedom. so i was very interested in the president's speech
