US clueless about Egypt?

 

For the United States to be literally clueless about the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood is indicative that the 111th Pelosi led Congress failed to do their job.

What can be the possible task of agencies like the CIA and the FBI to come up with nothing.  Oh I get it, full body groping by the TSA is far more important.  If this story is true as stated, it would seem a number of people could be impeached for failing to uphod the Constitution and protect America.  Yes any public official can be impeached not just a sitting “resident”

Senate hearing turns into farce as American ignorance on Egypt situation revealed; specific agenda of Muslim Brotherhood unclear, top official says, has trouble responding to question on group’s attitude to peace with Israel

WASHINTON – A senate hearing Wednesday revealed that top US intelligence agencies are largely ignorant about the current situation in Egypt and unfamiliar with the agenda of the country’s radical Islamists.

“It’s hard to at this point to point to a specific agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood as a group,” National Intelligence Director James Clapper told senators. When asked about the group’s attitude to Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel, he said this was a difficult question before assessing “they are not in favor of the treaty.”

However, he then noted that the Muslim Brotherhood was “only one voice in the emerging political milieu,” adding that the group is “a large, heterogeneous global organization whose agenda and impact differ from country to country.”

Much attention is being paid to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s airport security organization, the Transportation Security Administration. It needs to be under tough scrutiny. It is another bloated, ineffective federal bureaucracy inside a larger bloated, ineffective and unnecessary federal department.

The face of the TSA – why doesn’t this make me feel safe?

No one can point to any successful TSA operations to secure civil aviation in the United States. This is because the agency is hampered by its own self-imposed politically correct restrictions, its refusal to adopt proven screening techniques and probably most important, it’s ability to attract only the most inept and incompetent employees.
