Now if Reuters reported this one month ago, how is it that the administration was caught so completely off guard, and that "nobody" knew "who was behind this" in the initial days of the chaos?

The media (Katie Couric) tore Palin apart when it appeared that she didn't read a lot of newspapers. Well, it turns out that no one in the State Dept or the White House reads Reuters.

That probably says something about both Reuters, and this administration.

I would wager that “Friends” of this admin were instrumental in mentoring the “Brotherhood” on exactly HOW to “demonstrate” in a way that would be effective but would allow Obama to not condemn them.....

“We” not only KNEW, certain “We’s” are directly responsible...... Piven, Aires (and wife), etc come to mind....

will be interesting to see just how long these Brotherhood thugs will stay peaceful....in no way do I see the Egyptian Gov’t as non thugs.....but I do believe that both groups love violence, and believe in it as a way to reach their means...the MAIN way.....but both are trying to win public approval....

they just givin up the radical pose for the moment.....

Odd...Bob Beckle was saying just last night on FBN that the MB were merely “followers”

I don't get all the hate directed at the Muslim Brotherhood?

According to the always reliable source; Wikipedia, the Muslim Brotherhood is a peaceful organization. They are against jihad and condemned the 9-11 Terrorist attack on America.

Granted they also believe that the Quran and Sunnah constitute a perfect way of life. And that governments must be based on this system and eventually unified in a Caliphate, but hey, nobody's perfect. Even the Rotary Club and Elk's have some bad apples (not to mention, Moose).

So I'm sure we could sit down with them and negotiate about their grievances. They sound reasonable - and again - are against jihad and violence.

The Muslim Brotherhood may well be behind this, but are the people protesting because the Muslim Brotherhood was ejected, or because food and fuel costs have gone up. It seems like I’m hearing both, but never from the same source.

It may be that the Food and fuel hikes that are an inconvenience here, are so devastating to these poor countries that it’s the fuel that the Muslim brotherhood is trying to ride the coattails of.

Maybe Saudi Arabia needs to increase production before their neighborhood goes up in flames.
