The Obama administration called the Muslim Brotherhood "moderates"? How did that work out in Egypt?

At the National Review, December 14, 2011, there is a past article entitled "John Kerry reporting for duty ... to the Muslim Brotherhood."

In that article, it says that the Obama administration described the organization as a "largely secular" and moderate organization.

Just two years later, Kerry said that the overthrow of these same "moderates" constituted a return of Democracy to Egypt.

Now we hear Kerry and Co. saying that the Syrian rebels are "moderates," too.

Riiiiight.

The ones that are cannibals? The ones that even Turkish newspapers have past documention on as being caught with 2kg of Sarin gas in Turkish territory and summarily tossed into prison ... the same moderates that the New York Times called brutal killers on 9/5/2013 in a front-page article, "Brutality of Syrian rebels posing dilemma in West?

Everyone 0bama backs, bashes or kills Christians. Imagine that? What a coincidence! He never spoke out against the Muslim Brotherhood burning Christian churches, or the Syrian 'rebels' attacking Christian villages in Syria.

I wonder whose side 0bama is on? /s

They’re certainly moderates if you’re a muslim sympatizer in disguise.

Does that record of backing certain people hold true for McCain and Graham, too? I kinda wonder...

The Muslim Brotherhood and Al Queda are moderates...when compared to those radical tea-partiers, evangelicals, and Catholics.

I can see why Putin is concerned. Syria is in their back yard. They had a terrorist bombing inside Moscow metro not too long ago. US backing Al Qaeda will impact them directly.

The brazen suicide bombings in the center of Moscow..kills 38

The Muslim Brotherhood might be “moderate” according to Obama, but the Egyptians were right when they called him Satan. Obama IS a devil, except he's an amateur and the real Satan is a professional.

The only ‘moderate’ muslim is one in a western society who is vastly outgunned, outnumbered, and more or less told “your grandpappy’s barbaric ways aren’t welcome around here, bucko.”

The year they hit critical mass, things get ugly. Always,
