During the uprisings, the Muslim Brotherhood claimed that they WOULD NOT be presenting their own candidate on the ballet, should Mubarek step down or be ousted. Does everyone remember that? Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini made the same claims during th 1979 revolution, that he would not be interested in political office, rather he would a leading "spiritually from afar".
Well we saw how far we can trust the Muslim Brotherhood. About as far as you can spit. There are those stupid morons that are now claiming that if the Brotherhood gets into power, disregard their radical past, they will for sure rule moderately. Ha ha ha! Ya sure.
We also know how far we can trust the Palestinian Islamic terrorist group called Hamas. Much less than the Muslim Brotherhood.
Remember what the Muslim Brotherhood said in Egypt?
My Arabic isn't all that good. ??????????????????????????
» Well What Do You Know, Muslim Brotherhood Leader Running For President of Egypt - Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

Indeed, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a prominent Muslim Brotherhood leader, assured the West that there was nothing to worry about:
"We are compelled to unequivocally deny any attempt to usurp the will of the people. Nor do we plan to surreptitiously dominate a post-Mubarak government. The brotherhood has already decided not to field a candidate for president in any forthcoming elections. We want to set the record straight so that any Middle East policy decisions made in Washington are based on facts and..."
As Stanley Kurtz points out, the situation in Egypt is grim:
"The situation in Egypt grows more worrying by the day. As I tentatively noted earlier, and as now seems more likely, a prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, is preparing to stand for Egypt’s presidency. Moneim Aboul Fotouh is running without official Muslim Brotherhood authorization, and may even have to formally break with the organization for doing so. That’s because the Muslim Brotherhood has promised not to put up a candidate for the presidency. But if Moneim Aboul Fotouh runs anyway, as now seems likely, it would mean at least a realistic prospect of Islamist control of both parliament and the presidency of a new Egypt."
Wait, didn’t Obama assure us that the Google Guy was the future of Egypt, and that he*hoped one day to see*the Google Guy as president?

It’s a good thing we helped force Mubarak out of office “yesterday.”* Because no one could have seen this coming, right?* Certainly not The NY Times.*And certainly not the White House Guy who fell in love with the Google Guy.
