Muslim Brotherhood delegation meets with White House officials
By BYRON TAU |
4/4/12 4:03 PM EDT -- politico


The Obama Administration has confirmed that U.S. officials
have in fact met with a delegation from the Muslim Brotherhood (Egyptian).

It seems this may be an image enhancing campaign ?




Members of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood met with U.S. officials including White House staffers, the administration confirmed Tuesday.

"Following Egypt's revolution, we have broadened our engagement to include new and emerging political parties and actors," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told POLITICO. "The meeting Tuesday with working-level NSS officials is just one in a series of meetings between US officials, members of Congress, and representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood."

The Islamist group, long banned in Egypt by successive autocratic governments, has emerged as a powerful political force in post-Hosni Mubarak Egypt -- but is also seen as a threat to secularism in the devoutly Muslim country. The group's Freedom and Justice Party is set to control slightly less than half of the seats in Egypt's new parliament. According to the Washington Post, the group is working on projecting a more moderate image on this visit to the U.S.

White House officials note that engagement with the Muslim Brotherhood is not a departure in policy, and previous administrations have met with Brotherhood members of Parliament. Further, the Obama administration's U.S. ambassador and State Department officials have met with members of the group.

"The meeting Tuesday with working-level [national security staff] officials is just one in a series of meetings between US officials, members of Congress, and representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood," Vietor said. "Senators Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and others have met with members of the MB during their visits to Egypt, and US officials, as part of their routine diplomatic outreach, continue to meet with representatives as well."



What's the hidden agenda here ?

The US needs an enemy. Before it had communism, and it later it played around with the war on ___insert cause here____ .

If the Brotherhood finds control in more Middle Eastern/African states, they can toss in an enemy for the US when needed, they will be perceived as an enemy by common people, and the world can be none the wiser to the whole charade.

My opinion, anyway.

Brotherhood gets power, US gets control of public opinion (by having an enemy). Both seem like they are on the opposite side of the fence, all while putting on a show. Both sides think they are smarter than the other.

Edit to add:

Food for thought, from the Brotherhood wiki:


According to Peter Probst, a global terrorism expert with the National Security Associates WorldWide and 20-year CIA veteran, "the American Branch of the Muslim Brotherhood has adopted the political play book of the Communist Party. As the Communists of an earlier era, it has established a web of front groups, media outlets, charities and other entities to promote an ideology that calls for the destruction of the U.S. Just as the Soviets, through the Comintern and similar mechanisms, mounted a more than 50-year campaign of subversion, covert action, deception, disinformation and misinformation against the Western democracies, so have the Radical Islamists through the Muslim Brotherhood.

Infiltration of the federal government by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood is worse than some have warned recently, says a former FBI special agent in Washington.
The agent confirmed that at least three operatives of the Egypt-based Brotherhood – whose credo is “Jihad is our way and death in the cause of Allah is our dream” – have penetrated the Obama administration.
The shocking charge was first leveled by Muslim reformer Tarek Fatah during a recent speech in Toronto.

As the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s, hysteria over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. (Communists were often referred to as "Reds" for their allegiance to the red Soviet flag.) The Red Scare led to a range of actions that had a profound and enduring effect on U.S. government and society. Federal employees were analyzed to determine whether they were sufficiently loyal to the government, and the House Un-American Activities Committee, as well as U.S. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, investigated allegations of subversive elements in the government and the Hollywood film industry. The climate of fear and repression linked to the Red Scare finally began to ease by the late 1950s.

It's easier to get common people to agree to things when there is a evil enemy lurking about.

When the crips & bloods of politics get involved..it never is.

Giving the new junta marching orders no doubt... how to best arouse uncle "sausage fingers" Sam into stuffing your brotherhood panties with fiat aid dollars.

Strange sound from the sky?.. could be the sound of US founding fathers spinning in their graves.
