Is The White House Ignoring The Fundamentalist Nature Of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood?

White House, State Department Ignored Warnings Of Muslim Brotherhood Threat -- Examiner

The Investigative Project on Terrorism (ITP) released a report today that the Obama administration ignored warnings that the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi were not moderates or democratic in any way and posed serious threats to Egypt and the Middle East.

Update: Opposition Leader: Obama Administration Downplayed Brotherhood Warnings -- Al Gemeiner

My Comment: This report is coming out on the heels of these allegations. Is the White House and State Department ignoring the radical fundamentalism of the Muslim Brotherhood .... I doubt it. I think thy are fully aware of who and what the Muslim Brotherhood is .... the problem (for the White House) is to find a way to minimize their influence in the region. Unfortunately .... on this matter .... I do not think the White House is going to succeed.
