mr.clipper, please study the history of muslim brotherhood. they could never become a peacefull party. look at what they are doing in europe, U.S. and canada. rather than respecting the law of their host country, they want to impose their beliefs and their sharia laws on those countries.
as much as i am happy for the egyption people for succeeding in topelling mobarak, i am deeply concerned about the future of egypt and especially the young generation that this victory could have not been possible without their sacrifices.they have to be carefull not to let some reactionary groups,especially muslim brotherhood not to hijack their revolution.
any hesitation in controling this fanatic group would bring the same misery to egypt as khomeini brought for iran.
i hope that this time unlike the numerous times in the past(supporting binladin, taliban and at some point sadam and even khomeini),the U.S. adminstration has made a tactfull evaluation of the situation and is not mislead by some naive analyisis of scholars and middle east experts like prof.Ajami, David Gergeen, Peter Bergen and naw Mr.clipper who thing that muslim brotherhood could be a part of democratic govrnment of egypt. I hate to see that MR.Binladin become the spiritual leader of egypt and Mr. ALzawaheri would serve as the president.

The Muslim Brotherhood is illegal and outlawed in most MUSLIM countries-because they know what the organization really is: a front for radical Islam. They have publicly supported the Taliban. Some “secular” group this is! It is based on religion, not secularism. The name itself is a dead giveaway!
Where do we get these stupid people in government that don’t understand anything about their jobs?

Clapper, like so much of the political establishment, refuses to call a thing by its true name. There is no doubt that the MB is a religious, triumphalist organization that seeks shariah law in Egypt now and in the rest of the world later. It is in their charter and it is what their founder and current leadership say now to Arab speaking audiences. The Obama admin has to go. Their political correctness will get us killed.

In the 1880s, Thomas Crapper and co. delivered “water closets” fit for a King.
In the 2010s, James Clapper and (Presidential) co, delivered “Intelligence Assessments” fit for the “water closet”.

According to Article Two of the “Hamas Covenant” “… The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine…”
According to Article Seven of the “Hamas Covenant” “… the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah’s promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:
“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. …”
According to Hassan Al Banna (who founded the Moslem Brotherhood in 1928) the Moslem Brotherhood aims are: …
(Unlike Clapper go and research for yourself)
According to Neville Chamberlaine, Hitler and the Nazis were dedicated to world peace.
According to me, both Clapper and Obama are an insult to the intelligence of the average American.

Were Clapper and Biden separated at birth?
A real VIP – Very Imbecilic Person
Jamie Gorlick’s evil actions in the national intelligence arena were more of the garden variety treasonous nature.
Clapper seems quite capable of ineptitude that makes Biden look stellar by comparison
Quo warranto,B.O.?

Mr Clapper is a nimrod who advises the President. Small wonder that Obama and Clinton have flip flopped like cod on Egypt. Is this the thing that VP Biden warned would seem like the President was making the wrong decision and would need our support? There have been so many judgement errors by the President that fit that description that one must wonder.
