President Obama and his administration continue to support the global Islamist militant group known the Muslim Brotherhood. A White House strategy document regards the group as a moderate alternative to more violent Islamist groups like al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
The policy of backing the Muslim Brotherhood is outlined in a secret directive called Presidential Study Directive-11, or PSD-11. The directive was produced in 2011 and outlines administration support for political reform in the Middle East and North Africa, according to officials familiar with the classified study.
Efforts to force the administration to release the directive or portions of it under the Freedom of Information Act have been unsuccessful.
White House National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan declined to comment on PSD-11. “We have nothing for you on this,” she said.
The directive outlines why the administration has chosen the Muslim Brotherhood, which last year was labeled a terrorist organization by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates as a key vehicle of U.S. backing for so-called political reform in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia in recent months appears to be moderating its opposition to the Brotherhood in a bid to gain more regional support against pro-Iran rebels in Yemen.
The UAE government also has labeled two U.S. affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society, as terrorist support groups. Both groups denied the UAE claims. Egypt is considering imposing a death sentence on Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood-backed former president who was ousted in military coup in July 2013.

Well DUH....!!!
Remember the “Arab Spring” what they hell to they think that was?
Obama is NOT backing terrorists secretly. He is doing it right out in the open, as he knows nobody in D.C. will stop him.
Corrected.
Who doesn’t know this?
ha! CAIR!! buncha muslim thugs
nobody in D.C. will stop him
************
That is a fact. A sad fact. If anything, the Republicans are enabling and emboldening him.
What’s so secret about it?
Secretly??
There is no secret about it. The DiC has them in the WH and has supported them at every turn in the middle east.
Yep, 0bama is proud as can be over “Arab Spring.” The only thing that upsets him about it is Egypt throwing out his buddy Morsi.
I was going to suggest that is probably not so secret as the writer is saying, and then I read the replies. Lol. I’m going to agree...this is a secret? From who?
I’d sure like to see the wording in that PSD-11.
Don’t kid yourself, he IS an enemy.
The most blatant display of that was letting the MB in the front door of the White House while forcing Bibi to use a side door.
Yes, it is no secret.
Hello! America Wake the F___ UP! Oreo is a muslim and is not our first African American president. He is our first muslim, black African from Kenya president.
The author is a little slow on the uptake. Obama completely switched sides in the WOT and the media didn’t even notice.
