I've Been Thinking:

The White House has just announced that it will be fast tracking monetary aid to Egypt.

The White House is asserting that last week they had unprecedented meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood. Undersecretary of State Robert Hormats said that Egypt should earn "more immediate benefits" for its move to democracy.

The White House has been pursuing the Muslim Brotherhood for a while now. The US ambassador to Egypt and Senator John Kerry were both sent to talk to the Muslim Brotherhood. That's called high level dialogue and even higher dialogue just took place.

The Muslim Brotherhood is now a group the White House thinks they can work with. The White House cannot be more wrong.

Thinking that the Muslim Brotherhood has been turned into a liberal organization and lovers of democracy is simply myopic and wrong.

There is no real evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood wants to change.

The only evidence we have is that the Muslim Brotherhood wants US aid.

They know what they need to say. They know what the US wants to hear. The Muslim Brotherhood will say anything to get their money.

It just makes no sense.
