Obama sides with Muslim Brotherhood over proDemocracy forces

Report: U.S. favors Muslim Brotherhood over pro-democracy Syrian opposition

London, president of Hudson until 2011, said the State Department has ignored non-Brotherhood opposition groups. In July, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton invited Brotherhood operatives and urged them to work with Turkey to help oust Assad.

"Missing from the invitations are Kurdish leaders, Sunni liberals, Assyrians and Christian spokesmen," the report said. "According to various reports the State Department made a deal with Turkey and Muslim Brotherhood representatives either to share power with Assad to stabilize the government, or replace him if this effort fails."

Hudson cited the Syrian Democracy Council, which contains a range of ethnic and religious minorities, including Alawites and Christians. SDC was not invited to the State Department.

"From the standpoint of Foggy Bottom [State Department] it is far better to promote stability even if this means aligning oneself with the goals of presumptive enemies," the report said. "This, however, is a dangerous game that not only holds U.S. interests hostage to the Muslim Brotherhood, but also suggests that the withdrawal of American forces from the region affords the U.S. very few policy options."

If Obama crapped twenty trillion dollars of gold bullion conservatives would complain that he should have been using that time to cut taxes rather than wasting time paying off the national debt with money he literally pulled from his ass.

At least getting rid of the authoritarian leader is a move in the right direction right? We might not even have to invade and spend a trillion dollars getting rid of him.

Since when has the US EVER sided with pro-Democracy forces?

Really. Half the authoritarian leaders being thrown out or protested against in the greater Middle East were helped into power (or at least continually supported) by the U.S.

Intellectual vacuity alert! Stop before you go blind.

Here again is the interesting walking arm in arm of "strong" secular libertarianism with the Left, showing, yet again how extremes force a closing of the circle.

More word salad.
