“You can bet the Obama administration is losing sleep over the possibility.” For some reason, I don't think they all are, because they do not yet understand the repercussions of being inclusive to the MB. O seems to like revolutions, remember the picture of Che in one of his campaign offices. Or the Odinga situation? It concerns me that just recently, O allowed the MB leader back in the country. It's also strange that he had a lot to say when the Honduran military removed the ex-prez for trying to remain in power unconstitutionally. Of course, that involved removing a leftist.
Some in the administration, like Hillary, are worried, but as for O, I think he's ok with the change.
So there’s been plenty of bipartisan lobbyists for Egypt- one of interest is John Podesta’s brother, Tony.

Here’s a sobering headline:
Muslim Brotherhood: ‘Prepare Egyptians for war with Israel’
By YAAKOV LAPPIN
02/01/2011 02:00
A leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel, according to the Hebrew-language business newspaper Calcalist.
Muhammad Ghannem reportedly told Al- Alam that the Suez Canal should be closed immediately, and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” He added that “the people should be prepared for war against Israel,” saying the world should understand that “the Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.”
Ghannem praised Egyptian soldiers deployed by President Hosni Mubarak to Egyptian cities, saying they “would not kill their brothers.” He added that Washington was forced to abandon plans to help Mubarak stay in power after “seeing millions head for the streets.”

Those 100 meeting of the Egyptian military and Congress are interesting, too. So much for oversight.

Go past tears. Go past fear. To resolve.
And prepare. Get your Allahu on.
Obama met with US members of Muslim Brotherhood in 2009: (Can’t remember if this was already reported)
‘Obama met Muslim Brotherhood members in U.S.’
Egyptian newspaper Almasry Alyoum reports president met group’s members who live in U.S., Europe.
U.S. President Barack Obama met with members of Egypt’s Islamist opposition movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, earlier this year, according to a report in Thursday editions of the Egyptian daily newspaper Almasry Alyoum.
The newspaper reported that Obama met the group’s members, who reside in the U.S. and Europe, in Washington two months ago.
