An Obama administration official, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, said the administration is open to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood being in the government of Egypt that will likely replace the rule of Hosni Mubarak:
The official said that while the administration was concerned about "some elements" of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and other non-secular groups participating in the demonstrations, it was "not ruling out their legitimacy" and place in a future government.
Obama was aware that the Muslim Brotherhood and others were in the audience when he spoke of "a new beginning" in a 2009 speech in Cairo that was directed at the Islamic world, the official said. He cited a passage in the speech in which Obama said that "no system of government can or should be imposed by one nation on any other" and that "America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them."
The Post buried this unsettling revelation in an article about the administration charting a "delicate course to oust Mubarak."
Voice of America reported that at today's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the administration had no contact with the Muslim Brotherhood:
Gibbs was also asked about the U.S. position on potential participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in any new governing structure, saying that the United States has had no contact with the group.
"We have as we have throughout the world, standards for that contact - that is adherence to the law, adherence to non-violence and a willingness to be part of a democratic process, but not use that democratic process to simply instill yourself into power," he said.
While the group professes to be non-violent, the Muslim Brotherhood is widely considered to be the father of international Islamic terrorism and is thought to be working to create a global Islamic caliphate.
No surprise. Obama has given billions to Hamas for “humanitarian aid.”
Great work!
There’s a new LA Times article on this:
“U.S. open to a role for Islamists in new Egypt government”
By Paul Richter and Peter Nicholas, Los Angeles Times
January 31, 2011, 7:57 p.m.
“Reporting from Washington — The Obama administration said for the first time that it supports a role for groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Islamist organization, in a reformed Egyptian government.
The organization must reject violence and recognize democratic goals if the U.S. is to be comfortable with it taking part in the government, the White House said. But by even setting conditions for the involvement of such nonsecular groups, the administration took a surprise step in the midst of the crisis that has enveloped Egypt for the last week.
The statement was an acknowledgment that any popularly accepted new government will probably include groups that are not considered friendly to U.S. interests, and was a signal that the White House is prepared for that probability after 30 years of reliable relations with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak...”

(I’m certain the “organization must reject violence and recognize democratic goals” is more meaningless talk from the administration)
not ‘ruling out” - or behind it from the get go?

“The effing Po(s)tus is ALLIED with the group trying to effing take over Egypt!!! WTF?”
Exactly. And though it has now been “scrubbed” from the web, he also had a private neeting with them while in Cairo.
It will take some digging, but on an earlier TM thread, I posted o’s speech and broke it down into what the West heard and what he was actually saying to the MB in Egypt and its ramifications for us, U S. It was chilling...and I was right, because HERE it is, just as I said.
Wasn’t his speech in Egypt his FIRST public speech afte becoming pres?
A “We have Won - We have the WH” speech?
Yes. And contained in that speech was his SECOND declaratuon that the US is a “muslim country.”

Of course Obama considers the terrorists of the MB legitimate. He’s obviously a lifetime member.
WTF....that would be the ones with sharp knives....
those with blunt rusty knives are not allowed (yet).
and showing intense distaste for the American people and an American hero in particular.
I am an American Soldier...defender of freedom against tyranny
and when I enter the valley of death
and the angel of Satan appears at my shoulder
I will be resolute and fear no evil
And my Lord in heaven will guide my sword.
Important to understand the verses he was quoting from the koran, its meaning to radical muslims. It was very clear what he was saying and they understood it full well. Westerners did NOT.
o is TRAINED in taqiyah.
‘Obama said that “no system of government can or should be imposed by one nation on any other” and that “America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them.”
“Peaceful & law abiding”? The Moslem Brotherhood has been a terrorist organizer & supporter of terrorist states since it’s debut. It was a strong, loyal supporter of Hitler & the Nazis in WWII. it is a main supporter and funder of Hezbollah & Al Qaida today.
Many like Frank Gaffney & Aaron Klein report that Obama has been meeting in secret with the Moslem Bro in the White House for the past two years.
Obama is showing his true colors, and they ain’t Red, White, and Blue. Well, maybe just Red.
It isn’t just influence we need to worry about. They will have control of the largest most powerful military in the region . Army, Navy,Air Force, even more powerful than Israel. All bought, trained by the USA.
Fortunaly the Israelis are smarter, and have nukes.
If Obama throws Mubarak to the Islamist wolves, none of our allies will trust him. Not Jordan, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.
Bibi must be very worried. We know he is “shocked”
