Der Spiegel pointed out the obvious: "A certain role of the Muslim Brotherhood in the transition process [to 'democracy'] in Egypt seems acceptable to the Obama White House." It was early February 2011, the moment when the uprising that would oust Hosni Mubarak was bubbling over in Tahrir Square. The prominent German newsmagazine figured, who better to ask about the Muslim Brotherhood than the American political establishment's resident foreign-policy genius, John McCain?
So, the reporter asked him, does Obama's tolerance of the Muslim Brotherhood "concern you"?
Senator Maverick shot back without hesitation: "It concerns me so much that I am unalterably opposed to it. I think it would be a mistake of historic proportions."
