Washington (CNN) — As they talked publicly in generalities about a smooth transition to a new government in Egypt, U.S. officials have been working behind the scenes on ways to “move that process forward,” a national security spokesman said.
Top members of the Obama administration stated Thursday their desire for embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave office and for inclusive negotiations to begin immediately with his political opponents.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor added that U.S. officials have also discussed with Egyptian officials “a variety of different ways” in which that new government could take shape.
