ABU DHABI — Qatar, under pressure from the Arab League, is said to have expelled the Muslim Brotherhood.

Diplomatic sources said Doha deported dozens of exiled Brotherhood leaders who escaped Egypt in 2013. The sources said the Brotherhood operatives flew to Egypt’s neighbor Libya and joined Islamist militias.

“The Brotherhood people were given three days to pack their bags and get on the plane to Tripoli,” a source said. The sources did not identify those deported. But they said several of them were on a list of 15 Brotherhood and Hizbullah operatives submitted by Saudi Arabia last month.

In March 2014, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates withdrew their ambassadors from Qatar in protest of the Brotherhood and Hizbullah presence. Six weeks later, Bahrain and Oman said the split within the Gulf Cooperation Council was over. The London-based daily Al Arab reported that Brotherhood leaders were being hosted by an Islamist militia west of Tripoli.

Something is terrible wrong with this picture!

That's impossible. Obama said bin Laden is dead and al Qaeda is decimated and on the run. And in spite of the regrettable deaths of four Americans in those protests about that internet video, his intervention in Libya was a great success and Ghaddafi is dead and Libya is peaceful now and a great ally of the US.

The MB would not dare enter Libya after Obama's great foreign policy success there.

Gee, over here the Muslim Brotherhood run NASA, hold high political, administrative positions in intelligence and at the Pentagon, and they are known to visit the White House often. Elsewhere they are considered terrorists.

A nation of grownups would throw the Muslim Brotherhood out, and call it common sense.
