'Appropriate And Right' To Host Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood: White House

The White House defended Thursday the Obama administration's meetings with a delegation from Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, saying it needs to establish dialogue with the now-dominant Islamic party.

The Obama administration's overtures to the Brotherhood reflect the reconfigured contours of Middle East politics.

During the years when Hosni Mubarak ruled Egypt as a steadfast American ally, the United States was deeply skeptical of the Brotherhood, which embraces a conservative Islamic vision and has close bonds with radical groups like Palestinian Hamas.

But Mubarak's ouster last February, and the Brotherhood's status as a key player in Egypt's fledgling democracy, have upended that dynamic.

White House press secretary Jay Carney confirmed that "mid-level officials" had met with a Brotherhood delegation this week in Washington, and said that engaging with the group was "the appropriate and right thing to do."

After all, we must meet with terrorist sympathisers, Christian killers and Jew haters.

See, I can understand shorthand.

Besides, it gives Obama a chance to High Five them, and say, “Hey, Bros, how ya doin’? Killed any Copts lately?”

It is really sad when you wake up in the morning and again realize that your countrys’ worst enemy resides in its Oval Office -— and worse yet, was put there by your own citizens (well mostly our citizens).

What if FDR had invited Hitler to the White House, or Hirohito. This is an act of treason. WHY ARE WE LETTING OBAMA GET AWAY WITH THIS. The founding fathers would have had a million man armed force at the WHITE HOUSE 2 YEARS AGO, and OBAMA WOULD HAVE BEEN HANGING A YEAR AND 11 MONTHS AGO.

We deserve this. We can bitch from our chairs all we want, but when it comes down to it, no one is going to do a thing.

I guess the hand the Egyptian Brotherhood's child Alqada had in this is long forgotten:

I remember those good old days when GWB refused to meet with Arafat and the Pali’s. The NYT hated his decision, Her Thighness hated his decision, Libya hated his decision....I loved his decision.

I bet Obama didn’t walk out of the room and leave them like he did to Netanyahu. Actions speak louder than words. Hussein loves muzzies and hates the Joooos.
