Is the Obama administration allied with Muslim Brotherhood?

#14  McCain is often on the wrong side of politics with the wrong crowd.

The Holy Land Foundation trial showed them to be linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. The strategic goals for the U.S. were formulated by the MB were stated as early as 1987.

The primary strategic concept to accomplish the Brotherhood's objective is "civilizational jihad," the usurpation and replacement of American Judeo-Christian and Western liberal social, political and religious foundations by Islam. The MSM and the left take a ho-hum attitude toward such threats. To them conservatives are the threat. They may want to put their collective heads under the Islamic sword but not me.

#13  "The war on terror is over," a senior official in the State Department official tells the National Journal. "Now that we have killed most of al Qaida, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism."

I could be wrong but isn't Islamism mean militant expansionist Islam? Sort of like imperialism.

#12  McCain's reflexive move is to always protect those he works with, regardless of their politics, before the interests of his country or party. McCain is a bureaucrat of the worst kind.

You have no idea. McVain was known as a Buddy Fu&*er in an around the Light-Attack community. He'd look after your wife while you were deployed...if you know what I mean.

#8  " the war on terror is over" tell that too the ppl blown up on a bus in Bulgaria! Also with the Olympics about too start in a couple days I wouldn't be conting my chickens before eggs hatch just yet. Seems like there have been several other incidents over the last few years involving offshoots of al queada trying too blow up US airliners also.

#2  But some in the Obama administration are now seeing things differently.

"The war on terror is over," a senior official in the State Department official tells the National Journal. "Now that we have killed most of al Qaida, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism."


For the president himself, this new thinking comes from a "realiz[ation that] he has no choice but to cultivate the Muslim Brotherhood and other relatively 'moderate' Islamist groups emerging as lead political players out of the Arab Spring in Egypt, Tunisia and elsewhere."
