Timeline: who said what about Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces

My friend Khalid Abdalla has asked if people can put together what Western leaders have said about and how they have supported SCAF (Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces) and its head, Field Marshal Tantawi. So let's crowdsource it. We're looking particularly for statements by David Cameron, William Hague, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and other US and UK politcians. If you find something, put it in the comments, along with a date for it and a link to the source and I'll add it here.  If I've missed out significant events then please let me know as well.


Jan 25 EVENT - Start of the January 25 Revolution


Feb 11 EVENT - Hosni Mubarak resigns as president, handing over power to SCAF.


Oct 9 EVENT The Maspero Massacre (warning - very graphic video)

Oct 10 "The President is deeply concerned about the violence in Egypt that has led to a tragic loss of life among demonstrators and security forces.  The United States expresses our condolences to the families and loved ones of all who were killed or injured, and stands with the Egyptian people in this painful and difficult time.  Now is a time for restraint on all sides so that Egyptians can move forward together to forge a strong and united Egypt.  As the Egyptian people shape their future, the United States continues to believe that the rights of minorities - including Copts - must be respected, and that all people have the universal rights of peaceful protest and religious freedom.  We also note Prime Minister Sharaf's call for an investigation and appeal to all parties to refrain from violence.  These tragic events should not stand in the way of timely elections and a continued transition to democracy that is peaceful, just and inclusive." - White House Press Secretary - http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/10/10/statement-press-secretary-violence-egypt
