Michael Ledeen: The Spooks' Black Thursday
February 11, 2011
Obama's crack intel team in action.
From
Pajamas Media:
Bad day for the "Intelligence Community" here in Washington. CIA chief Leon Panetta opined that Mubarak was very likely going to resign in a few hours, while DNI (Director of National Intelligence) General James Clapper declared the Muslim Brotherhood "largely secular" and has "eschewed violence." These analyses from our mastodontic Intel establishment no doubt encouraged the president to gush about living through an historic moment in world history, and to proclaim that young people were primarily to praise for the epic events of the day.
Except that Mubarak didn't resign, and the Brothers aren't secular and have long embraced and practiced violence, and we don't yet know exactly what history is being made, let alone who is making it.
Oh, well…tomorrow's another day. Indeed this afternoon is another day, as Clapper's spokespeople assured us that he really knows all about the Brotherhood, and is "well aware that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a secular organization."
