Alfred Inselberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (02.11.11)
With all the talk about the Muslim Brotherhood, whatever happende with Mustlim Sisterhood?
3. Hamas, an off spring of the Muslim Brotherhood, also manages
Avigdor   (02.11.11)
hospitals and actually controls over a whole region, Gaza, and its population. I propose to the Americans to open their eyes and see how Hamas operates, including the arming itself with offensive weapons and the on going attempt to hit the civilian population of the infidels...!!
4. Unreal
leo ,   nyc   (02.11.11)
A number of commentators tonight spoke of the stupidity of the "intelligence" hierarchy in the US with today's performance...simply unbelievable!
5. US Spy Chief
DT ,   TA Israel   (02.11.11)
Another US Goon finds a home in "high places " and I expect he is an "expert " too.
6. Ayman al-Zawahiri alcadas second in command...
Galut ,   selah   (02.11.11)
a card carrying member of the muslim brotherhood.....?
7. Clapper's trapper
Joe ,   Havertown, PA   (02.11.11)
Clapper in totally inept as the US Intelligence Chief. How he can say with a straight face that the MB "has eschewed violence" is truly incredulous.
8. Clapper and Diane Sawyer
Devorah   (02.11.11)
When Diane Sawyer asked Clapper about the terrorist attack in London on Dec. 22, 2010, Clapper didn't know anything about it, and it happened that very day! This man is completely out of touch with reality. Why? Because he is part of the Obama administration, and we're supposed to believe him?
9. So, he can go to their hospital for
Moshe ,   Netanya   (02.11.11)
wounded Americans. (The dude understans well Obama and want to keep his job. He may get extra $100,000 this year)
10. this US administration is insane
JL   (02.11.11)
11. Sad
john   (02.11.11)
Its sad and scary how much Clapper does not know the history of the Muslim Brotherhood.
12. Another buffoon on the int'l stage.

To # 4, Leo; " the stupidity of the intelligence hierarchy in the US " --- Believable @ 100 %. About 3 days ago, the world media carried the muslim brotherhood news event from Egypt. This is a direct quote from their spokeperson "" We have nothing against the jews, only the Zionists "". The standard version of the islamic crap, the same garbage spewed in their mosques, their schools, their homes, their media, their govt.. As the old saying " if it looks like Sh...t, behaves like Sh...t, smells like Sh...t, it must be Sh...t. They cannot help themselves, as it is passed on " de pere en fils " This James Clapper (an 007 personnified) has never heard of the MB's statement of course. Commanding 16 US intelligence agencies, his head is incapable to absorb this astronomical surge of " top secret " cryptograms -- he burns one computer a week, and still .... ! Well folks, no one can deny that our Obama knows how to pick'em. PS: this Clapper looks like one of the famed " Keystone cops " -- the perfect match for Pennsylvania ave.
13. BULL!!!!!!!!!!
SE ,   USA   (02.11.11)
Another paid off politician
14. Clapper is clapping to Obama!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (02.11.11)
Clapper is an Obama's clown. It is clear that Obama wants Muslims in power in Egypt and ,seemingly,else where. I think Obama is on the way to do a big mess around... I guess,he should be impeeched now ,and not Mubarack!
15. "They" also said Mubarak would resign last night
Anon ,   Johanneburg   (02.11.11)
16. Idiots leading the USA INTO Irans "Mehdi" scenario
WOWSERS ,   US of Obama   (02.11.11)
You are idiots, and if you were payed off by the mullahs it would make more sense than the crap you are spewing. Why dont we just invite the islamic brotherhood over for a ballet performance. 1st they said they would see a more democratic iranian regime during the 1979 revolution. FAILx100000. 2nd they said they would find WMD in Iraq and get Osama Bin Laden (they actually had the opportunity in the 90s but Clinton said no) 3rd now the Islamic Brotherhood is a secualr eschewer of violence? Next Im going to read that Hitler was Ghandis chief disciple. OMFgosh! You have to be s'g me!
17. Muslim Brotherhood secular !
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.11.11)
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ..! oh yes, I think they're hot too : )))
18. DEAF, DUMB, BLIND AND STUPID
disgusted ,   Tel Aviv   (02.11.11)
Until this "lovely and peaceful" Muslim Brotherhood takes hold in America and blows them up. The only thing "eschewed" is Clapper's intelligence.
19. there is only 1 word to describe him
zionist forever   (02.11.11)
IDIOT US intelligence must have been hit hard by budget cuts if he doesn't have access to the internet where they can check out the Muslim Brotherhood websites or didn't have access to a history book which explains that the Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Sadat because he made peace. Its a damn good thing he wasn't Kenedys head of intelligence during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
20. duty of care means defend, serve people
james ,   australia   (02.11.11)
sour grapes ass, they help there people and aim to take you into account.....justice will prevail eventually.
21. Moslem Brotherhood "secular"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.11.11)
That comment is pretty representative of the idiocy of the current administration. The fish, as they say, stinks from the head. It's time to consider impeachment, before the whole United States gets flushed by the lunatic in the White House.
22. Yeah right - and halal pigs fly!
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (02.11.11)
is it any wonder why islamist scum think we're as dumb as they are with useful idiots like this latest one?! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE FFS!
23. To be fair to Mr. Clapper
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
Even if one gives him the benefit of the doubt that the Muslim Brotherhood has renounced violence ,which is possible ,even so , one can not imagine them to be well disposed or well-intentioned regarding Israel .
24. "MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SECULAR"
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
"POPE IS JEWISH"
25. What an Idiot, Does Taqiyya mean...
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.11.11)
Anything to this Moron. I'm worried now! When a head of the secret service in the U.S., starts spouting this kind of nonsense, you can only wonder. What the heck is going on over there. Look these guys missed the Wall coming down in Eastern Europe and really the depth of this demonstration and how deep it really went took the West by surprise. Taqiyya, put bluntly is permission in the Islamic religion to lie. To LIE to your enemies or perceived enemies in order to accomplish your true goal or mission. Everybody but the head of the U.S. secret service seems to know this, since I know he can't be that stupid. There must be another motivation, although at this time I'm sure what it is. But I do know he is 100% wrong about the Muslim Brotherhood. Whatever led him to make these false, bizarre and dangerous statements, is good for one thing. Never take this guy seriously again, he has been compromised by Taqiyya (lying to your enemy is OK) and is now promoting this to our Congress. He should be investigated.
26. #18 DEAF ,DUMB AND BLIND KID
OGER DALTREY ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
Sure plays a mean pinball.
27. Facts are not counted but
Seppo ,   Finland   (02.11.11)
this kind of news are just the things to be printed all over in main media in the US and EU to form opinion in the West. After having published in enough many newspapers this becomes the fact in the minds of politicians. Both AP and Reuter, it's got to be true
28. Guy knows NOTHING about Muslim Brotherhood's mission
Doug ,   USA   (02.11.11)
And know we know a LOT about Obama's support for the jihad also.
29. Muslim Brotherhood secular
Jorge el judio ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (02.11.11)
Last news: Muslim Brotherhood is secular Breaking news: Louis Farrakan is not Antisemitic. Super utra breaking news: American has no unemplyment What is next joke
30. Yeah right..and halal pigs can fly with kryptonite
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.11.11)
