A: A quote from Director of National Intelligence (DNI), James Clapper:
Any further questions?Quote:
"The term Muslim Brotherhood 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" (emphasis mine)
This is the same man who has been described by the Obama administration as the "consummate DNI".
There is a great article by the WSJ HERE that details the failures of our utterly inept president and his administration.
This administration is in way over it's head, as usual. This is what you get when you elect "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy" but has no real experience or the balls to make a decision.
i thought that they were all nice Irish Catholic Boys. who knew the muslims would want to take over egypt?
I am sure most any foreign administration listens to Obama. Afterall he has so much experience in foreign policy and relations. I would not be the least surprised if a leader of a foreign nation wold tell him to "mind your own business rookie". Mubarak has been in power for close to 30 years-think he is going to take anything Oblunder says seriously?

I think Obama is liked but not respected at all. He can can say things but won't follow through. Other leaders know we're overextended and can't afford our current wars and our economy isn't helping.
OTOH, I'm not too sure what anybody can do. Mubarak may be a scumbag but he's our scumbag and seen as such. Maybe those mythical moderate Moslems will take over. They'll come riding in on their unicorns.

Moderate muslim? Is that like a pro gun liberal?
The entire reason Obummer is well like abroad is that he Kow-tows to other leaders and does NOT pose any threat.
They know he is a popularity president and has no real foreign policies beyond "Don't make Waves."
He is weak and they know it.

There are secular Muslims, moderate Muslims and all that. They just shut up and do nothing since the crazies are in charge. There were some well know moderates in Egypt and other countries. They got killed or locked up on charges like Blasphemy. Moderates can't make it in this environment since they are moderate. It's hard to go and gun a family down in a spirit of moderation.
I wish I knew how to modernize Islam. There were some unpleasant aspects of Christianity long ago but our ancestors got over it. I think it was the Reformation followed but the many splits of Protestants. There were too many factions and they called truce.
I'm a pretty moderate guy, apart from guns. The great part about living here is I can make moderate or extreme statements and nobody is going to kill me or my family for it. People might think I'm an asshole. I could even get banned from forums like this but nothing else. Looking at the Middle East is like looking at some of the uglier parts of our past 800 or 900 years ago.

The US probably has a problem dealing with this whole issue because we're sitting idle after getting told to do so by the king of Saudi - who also told Obama that we'd regret NOT sitting this one out.
Yeah, I read that, too. Bitch-slapped by the king.
