On Feb 10, while addressing a question about the Muslim Brotherhood from the House Intelligence Committee, James Clapper Director of National Intelligence responded, “The term ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ …is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam. In the case of Egypt, [it is] a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam…”
This isn’t the first Gen Clapper’s public faux pas. In an interview in 2010 Diane Sawyer asked the director about twelve alleged would-be terrorists who had been arrested in Great Britain earlier in the day. His only response was a classic “deer in the headlights look” that you would get from a student receiving news of a pop quiz.
The Muslim Brotherhood
The Society of the Muslim Brothers or commonly called “Muslim Brotherhood” was founded in Egypt in 1928
I’m sure the General knows better. A textbook example how someone will twist the facts and ignore common sense to curry favor with his superiors.
Clapp on.....Clapp off.
Competence in action...the alternative to Steve Hussein Mohammed Soetoro Obama Barry Dunham....

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Of course he still has a job. To the other morons in the Dear Reader’s administration what he said is doctrine.
Mudslimes: good. Everybody else: bad.
Liberals always see the world the way they WANT it to be and ignore the way things are in REALITY. Their penchant for this warped thinking is so ingrained that NO AMOUNT of actual evidence will convince them otherwise. Even the words and actions of the enemy will not convince them. They are like little children hiding under the blankets with their fingers in their ears.
Liberals, in short, have a mental deficiency. They cannot, will not, accept any reality that conflicts with their self-made world view. They just ignore it.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Incompetence in Action
A resume enhancer for a democrat.

Director of National Intelligence Clapper Comes A-Cropper of His Own Ignorance

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, testifying before the House Intelligence Committee today, stated that the Muslim Brotherhood [1] in Egypt is a largely secular, non-violent umbrella group.
I have quickly put together the quotes below from the Brotherhood’s former and current leaders. They clearly show that the Muslim Brotherhood is extremely religious and violent, and that former Supreme Guide Muhammad Mahdi Akef even supports Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.
Mr. Clapper’s congressional testimony reveals that he simply doesn’t know what he is talking about regarding one of the most important topics for American policy considerations throughout the Muslim world, and particularly and immediately in Egypt.
The fact that the director of national intelligence is so ignorant of facts that are so easily amassed, and that he could lead U.S. policymakers so far astray from reality at such a crucial time, is inexcusable and grounds for his immediate resignation.
The following public comments were made by Muhammad Mahdi Akef, the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, from 2004-2010. These statements well document Akef’s Salafi-jihadist orientation, anti-Americanism, and support of Osama bin Laden and a-Qaeda. They reveal that he and his Brothers are more than willing to resort to violence, including violence against the United States, to defend their Islamist ideals......

They eschew violence.
Like the day they offed Anwar Saddat and others as they were viewing a parade.
Other than that, they’re little cuddly teddy bears.
I would ask the Copts who have died by the dozens in the last few months how true that statement is.
I think on either Hannity’s or Levin’s show yesterday (Friday) John Bolton said this was the single most incompetent statement made by an intelligence official he could recall.
I'll know I catch some flack for this but the intelligence community is a political animal. The closer you get the top the worse it is. I can name at least a dozen incompetent Intel Analysts who should of been fired years ago. Despite their grave mistakes the idiots do manage to advance because someone likes them. Of course the public will never know because of Nondisclosure Agreements.
Last real competent Intelligence Director was Gen. Hayden. If it wasn't for him the wiretapping features of the Patriot act would of been much worse.
