I guess MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell just doesn't want to believe that the Muslim Brotherhood wants Sharia law.
On February 9, 2011, she's told by former Muslim Brotherhood member Ayaan Hirsi Ali of the Brotherhood's intentions and its extremism.
Then the following day, Mitchell claims that the Muslim Brotherhood aren't extremists.
Mitchell doesn't listen very well.
Video.
Actually, it's not that Mitchell doesn't listen. She's just following the Obama administration's talking points.
Obama seems incapable of understanding and responding to the unrest in Egypt.

Earlier in the day, as anticipation grew by the hour, Obama said that what the United States wanted was transition to democracy in Egypt that was not just orderly but "genuine."
"What is absolutely clear is that we are witnessing history unfold," Obama said at the start of an overshadowed economic event in Michigan. "It's a moment of transformation that's taking place because the people of Egypt are calling for change."
Of course, we're witnessing history unfold. Each passing day is always history unfolding. What a lame remark!
I fear Obama is encouraging extremists.
Is history repeating itself?
I'm afraid Obama is a 21st century Jimmy Carter.
Let's party like it's 1979.

Carter was a piker compared to what's going on now.
Half of the world could be in total turmoil in less than six months, and the world's oil supply could be in jeopardy which I am sure would greatly please those in power.
They need a ,real mess so they can remake the USA.
I think it's incredibly naive to assume that Egypt will become a stable democracy and live peacefully with Israel.
The new Egypt a friend to the U.S. and Israel?
We can only hope; but based on the way things go in the Middle East, I think it's highly unlikely.
Celebrations by the U.S. are premature.
