U.S. Continues to Back Mubarak 
-------------------------------



Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is a longtime U.S. ally, and his
government is among the top recipients of U.S. foreign aid. White House
spokesperson Robert Gibbs said the Obama administration continues to
back Mubarak's reign.

Robert Gibbs: "This isn't a choice between the government and the people
of Egypt. Egypt, we know, and President Mubarak has for several decades
been a close and important partner with our country."
