Y Obama ha escogido a la Hermandad Musulmana (islám violento e intolerante, cercano a Al-Qeda) y a Turquía para liderar la Siria post Sadat. Rechazando la alternativa de la oposición democrática, a la que anulan.

Report: U.S. favoring Muslim Brotherhood groups in Syria for sake of stability
Ignoring Benjamin Franklin's admonition, they apparently prefer to sell out liberty for temporary security, all the while wallowing in wishful thinking about the Brotherhood's intentions. They will indeed wind up with neither liberty nor security in Syria. "Report: U.S. Favors Muslim Brotherhood Over Pro-democracy Syrian Opposition," from the World Tribune, August 17:
WASHINGTON -- The administration of President Barack Obama has selected the Muslim Brotherhood over the pro-democracy opposition to lead Syria after the expected ouster of President Bashar Assad, a report said.
The Hudson Institute, a leading consultant to the Defense Department, asserted that the administration has decided to work with Turkey and the Brotherhood in Syria for a post-Assad government. In a report by Herbert London, the institute said Obama has dismissed the pro-democracy opposition as an alternative.
"It would seem far more desirable to back the democratic influences -- the political organizations that require cultivation and support -- despite their relative weakness at this moment," the report, titled "U.S. Betrays Syria's Opposition," said. "It is these religious and secular groups that represent the real hope for the future and the counterweight to the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood."
London, president of Hudson until 2011, said the State Department has ignored non-Brotherhood opposition groups. In July, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton invited Brotherhood operatives and urged them to work with Turkey to help oust Assad.
"Missing from the invitations are Kurdish leaders, Sunni liberals, Assyrians and Christian spokesmen," the report said. "According to various reports the State Department made a deal with Turkey and Muslim Brotherhood representatives either to share power with Assad to stabilize the government, or replace him if this effort fails."
Hudson cited the Syrian Democracy Council, which contains a range of ethnic and religious minorities, including Alawites and Christians. SDC was not invited to the State Department.
London said the U.S. ban on SDC represented an insult to pro-democracy forces in Syria. He cited reports that the Brotherhood was playing a major role in attacks on Syrian security forces in a campaign supported by Iran, Jordan and Turkey.
"At the very least Secretary Clinton should hear the SDC argument," the report said. "Leaving this body out of the Syrian conversation is an insult to what America purports to care about. "
