O'Reilly Obama Interview Shows That President Still Hasn't Changed Course

Fox News "On the revolution sweeping Egypt and other Middle Eastern capitals, President Obama still cannot articulate what U.S. interests are and how he will use tools available to him to advance those interests.
"This could be as easy as saying, "we stand with those seeking democracy, we insist that the dictator of Egypt leave, and we will oppose and work against the Islamists who want an even worse alternative to existing repression."
"Instead, Mr. Obama seemed again to reprise the role of the litigator-in-chief who took three months in 2009 to respond to an urgent request for more troops from our military commander in Afghanistan, and who refused to support democracy forces in Iran as they took to the streets in 2009 and again last year.
"When asked directly by O’Reilly if the Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to the U.S., the president responded:
“I think the Muslim Brotherhood is one faction in Egypt, but they are well organized there are strains of their ideology that are anti-U.S.”












Big Lie in Bill O’Reilly’s Obama Interview: The Muslim Brotherhood Has Only One Strain, An Islamic Supremacist Virus  "Perhaps the President has forgotten that the Muslim Brotherhood spawned the terrorist organization Hamas. Perhaps he skipped over the senior London-based Muslim Brotherhood leader Muhammad Ghanem’s statement to Iran’s Arabic-language news station, Al-Alam, that the Egyptian people “should be prepared for war against Israel.”
"Backing Ghanem’s stance, Muslim Brotherhood deputy leader in Egypt Rashad al-Bayoumi later told Japan’s NHK TV that a new provisional government, presumably including Muslim Brotherhood participants, should dissolve the 30 year old peace treaty with Israel. Is war against Israel one of those “strains” of the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideology that President Obama is willing to accept? How about their call for the immediate closing of the Suez Canal?"
