Obama Team trying to cover the tracks of incompetence....

This is absolutely ridiculous!!!....It's just the Obama team trying to hedge their bets in case/if the Muslim Brotherhood takes control of Egypt...they can they fall back on this statement that they are not terribly dangerous....BUT the American People are smarter than that....all it takes is a simple web search to know that the Muslim Brotherhood is very, very dangerous and not at all a friend to the West and the United States.....

Obama has botched another major issue and now he's trying to get his team to try to cover for him.


Director of National Intelligence James Clapper: Muslim Brotherhood "Largely Secular"

February 10, 2011 3:28 PM Jonathan Karl reports:

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper raised some eyebrows today at a House Intelligence Committee hearing when he called described the Muslim Brotherhood as a “largely secular” organization.

“The term ‘Muslim Brotherhood,’” Clapper said, “is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam… They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera. … In other countries, there are also chapters or franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally.”

The U.S. State Department's Background Note on Egypt describes the Muslim Brotherhood as a "potent political and religious force."

"The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, remains an illegal organization and is not recognized as a political party (current Egyptian law prohibits the formation of political parties based on religion)," according to the State Department.

Clapper also raised eyebrows last December when it was clear he had not been briefed on terror arrests in London before an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer.
