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.
Correction: anti-American, anti-Israel, muslim marxist’s first term.
If we’re lucky, a secular military strongman will emerge, who will gladly take the US foreign aid billions {US bribe/protection money} in exchange for tamping down the jihadis. That’s the best we can expect.
isn’t there some way to charge Obama with treason. He has been measured and found to be in conspiracy to overthrow the govt in Egypt.He stole trillions and refuses to produce his required documents to run for president.
This clown will defy the court re: the Obamacare being unconstitutional and void.
This POS has to go now. Who let the wolf in the house, should get him out.
But when 60% of the US population opposed Obamacare...
Typical liberal, never ruling out the legitimacy of people that want to see us in concentration camps.
And so he can then funnel American tax payer money directly to his homies. I hate that sob.
There should only be only one upper most goal for O and that
is Egypt keeping in compliance with the treaty signed by Sadat. Even if the MB shakes out as a player, they’ll keep
the treaty if they are prudent, and will play their hand behind El Baradei and his ‘prestige’.
At the end of the day we are less effected by who sits as President of Egypt than if the straits of Tiran closed, the treay repudiated, divisions moved into the Sinai, you know the whole story. The Egyptians will eventually get home, wake up and find the power is off and the garbage is still on the street. They are out of money, not good in a city.
There won’t be any girls at the university, or the HS or elementary schools.......
Nothing we did’t expect from the Head Muslim In Charge.
It is a major concern that the idiots who voted him into office are still out there and they are still just as clueless and just dangerous as ever.
Their mindless infatuation with Obama is the root cause of our problems, including this crisis. They will make it difficult to get him out of the White House in 2012.
The same liberal bastards that trash the Christian Church and “Organized Religion” at every opportunity will embrace the “Non secular” Muslim brotherhood.
This is not a disaster for the right, but for the left...
For the prospects of American conservatives, all these uprisings this will work out eventually to further the cause of freedom (but shhh don’t tell them).
muslim brotherhood and the wacky left are still flailing around trying to overthrow the world and they stupidly make many mistakes because they can’t see the forest for the trees.
The mb and the wacky left are basically working against the laws of nature.
And obama’s worshippers will continue to kneel before him and shout to the world that he’s the best thing that ever happened to this country and to the world.
These people following him have made me understand how people will follow the antichrist. Maybe he is the antichrist.
Maybe a good idea to get our people out of the embassy’s ahead of time this time?
If a secular military strongman emerges, he will likely be the property of Russia or China.
Jimmy Carter with a Koran
Amen to that
