Why is Obama embracing Muslim Brotherhood>

Spengler:

So far, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Mursi has called for the release of the “Blind Sheikh” Abdul Rahman — the convicted mastermind of the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 — released 25 convicted terrorists from Egyptian prisons, and met with the leaders of the Gaza-based terror organization Hamas. President Obama invited Mursi to the White House in September. What would Morsi have to do to get disinvited? Eat babies?

America may have to deal with unsavory governments as a matter of national interest, but an ostentatious welcome to the leader of a terrorist organization — the Muslim Brotherhood — who embraces as a comrade the most notorious jihadi terrorist in an American prison is an utterly reprehensible betrayal of American national security interests. PJ Media’s own Andrew McCarthy, the federal prosecutor who convicted the World Trade Center bombers, explained the nature of the beast in a July 23 post here.

It’s no surprise that Mursi would embrace Hamas, which “was founded in 1987 (during the First Intifada) as anoffshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood” (Wikipedia). As the Jerusalem Post reports this morning,

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh is expected to meet in Cairo on Thursday with Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi. Haniyeh, who left the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border terminal Wednesday, is accompanied by a 17-member delegation of Hamas officials and businessmen. He will be the second Hamas leader to meet with Mursi since the latter assumed power. Last week, Mursi met with Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.

This piece by Carolyn Glick shows how out of touch with reality this administration is when it comes to another terrorist organization Hezballah.  then she goes on to describe the Israeli reaction to the description of the Muslim Brotherhood by US Director of Intelligence James Clapper:

Watching Clapper’s testimony in Israel, the sense across the political spectrum, shared by experts and casual observers alike was that the US had taken leave of its senses.

 He had just described the notorious gang of religious bigots as a securlar group.  There is something very troubling about this administration's view of Islamic religious bigots in all their iterations and they seem determined to ignore the obvious warning signs.  Do they really think they can strike a deal with these people?
