| This is a speech given by Andrew C. McCarthy, the guy that prosecuted the Blind Sheikh -- long, but contains some real and scary info. I was invited by the Center for Security Policy to give a speech at the National Press Club in Washington yesterday. The topic was our government's relations with the Muslim Brotherhood and why concerns about Brotherhood infiltration, raised by five conservative House members, are very real. The speech ran nearly an hour, and there was a little over a half-hour of Q&A afterwards. The event was carried by CSPAN, and for those interested, the link is here. Below is the prepared text of my speech: |

| #2 I disagree that the MB should not be a concern. The MB are but one group of a much larger set of islamists worldwide. McCarthy's book The Grand Jihad links many on the left as being allied with the islamists either willfully or as useful idiots. I do agree that China should be a concern as well. August 7th, the WSJ posted a story which mentioned that all new permits have been stopped for the construction of new nuclear plants in the U.S. by a regulator. . Link Strange how the coal industry has been slow-walked by this administration to the extent the coal unions are not supporting Obama. The oil industry has been slowed in support of Obama's leftist environmentalist base. Then there is Obummer's bowing to the Saudis. Then there has been his lackluster attitude and disrespect of one of our allies in the Mideast, Israel. McCarthy mentioned Obama's policy shift towards the Arab world. Gasoline prices have been busting our hump at the pump. Ten percent of personal income is going to gasoline. It is probably more when you factor the increased prices of foodstuffs and other consumables due to increased transportation costs. You have to question his leanings. Few if any in the MSM have raised such questions. The Chinese are killing us also because of a lot of dumb trade and borrowing policies from China coming out of Washington. We cannot afford four more years of Obama. He is killing us. |

| #1 Well, if al-Qida are operating as NATO troops in Syria and are tremendously OK, what does that make the MusBros? I suspect someone is giving them a long leash looking to what happens when the Ramadongadingdong thingy finishes and the Arab Spring continues in the last remaining raghead kleptocracies, of which there may be about 7. (The Magic Kingdom, Qutar, Emirates, Jordan, etc). It's a Sunni/Shiite dust-up, let them get on with it even if it means the MB think they're pulling strings. Just jerk their chain when required. The Chinese are far more deserving of US attention. And whilst the Russians protect the Alawites (and Christians) and don't get paid for their trouble, I see no problem with letting the MB think they're the biggest poodle in town. I reiterate, get China sorted by strengthening your Pacific allies you know who they are by now. Out. |
