John Brennan, the former CIA Director and chief counterterrorism advisor to President Obama, once offered effusive words of praise for Hezbollah.
In August of 2009, Obama's former counterterrorism adviser stated the following:
"Hezbollah started out as purely a terrorist organization back in the early '80s and has evolved significantly over time. And now it has members of parliament, in the cabinet. There are lawyers, doctors, others who are part of the Hezbollah organization... And so, quite frankly, I'm pleased to see that a lot of Hezbollah individuals are in fact renouncing that type of terrorism and violence and are trying to participate in the political process [in Lebanon] in a very legitimate fashion."
Hezbollah is largely believed to have orchestrated the 2005 truck-bombing assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri.
In January of 2011, Hezbollah demanded that the Lebanese government end its support of a tribunal that was investigating Hariri's assassination. When the demand was rejected, Hezbollah withdrew from the government and the government collapsed, enabling the terrorist organization to form a newly elected pro hezbollah government.
But who can cast doubt on Hezbollah's altruistic motives when, according to John Brennan's keen insight, the terrorist organization is "trying to participate in the political process in a very legitimate fashion."
In 2017, Politico published a lengthy exposé revealing the Obama administration's efforts to derail "an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting Hezbollah's drug trafficking" cartel, which was amassing $1 billion a year to help finance Hezbollah's terrorist operations.
But, once again, who can question the Obama administration's altruistic motives in helping Hezbollah, when, according to John Brennan's keen insight, the terrorist organization is "trying to participate in the political process in a very legitimate fashion."
On Wednesday, in an interview with NBC's Nicole Wallace, Mr. Brennan used the word "dangerous", not to describe Hezbollah, or the Obama administration's policies toward Hezbollah, or his own extolment of Hezbollah, but rather to describe the "actions" of President Trump, who hours earlier had revoked Mr. Brennan's security clearance.
"I never, ever thought that I would see it here in the United States," Brennan said, in reference to Trump's security clearance revocations. "I do believe that all Americans really need to take stock of what is happening right now in our government, and how abnormal and how irresponsible and how dangerous these actions are."
Once again, Mr. Brennan was not referring to the Obama administration's efforts to protect Hezbollah's drug trafficking" cartel, or his own views of Hezbollah. He was referring to President Trump's "dangerous" effort to revoke the security clearance of Brennan, the counter terrorism expert.
He’s just ticked he lost a part of his meal ticket. :)
maybe someday same result will befall Brennan and all of his Moslem terrorist murder gangster-bff’s?
“Hezbollah started out as purely a terrorist organization back in the early ‘80s and has evolved significantly over time. And now it has members of parliament, in the cabinet. There are lawyers, doctors, others who are part of the Hezbollah organization..”
So did organized crime. so did the dem party. IOW, no change, just a better cover story.
Don’t worry he’ll find a Judge and guess what ,LOL
ABCNNBCBS were making Brennan a martyr all morning....................
and to think that this Muslim-terrorist-promoting POS was once in charge of our intelligence system?
My Lord! We MUST find ways to prevent ANY such infiltration by our enemies....into any part of USA or our government
long past time... to Drain the Swamp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good call to yank this bastard’s security clearance. Should have been done on 20 Jan, 2107.
I’m not pissed that Trump pulled this jughead’s clearance. I’m pissed that he had a clearance to pull in the first place.
I thought all these bastards were sworn to secrecy for life. I guess Obama corrupted the entire government. Maybe it’s time to start OVER.
Hezbollah’s political wing is not a terror organisation in EU, as far as I know.
Why hasn’t this traitorous SOB been hanged?
The original charter of the CIA was to counter the Soviet Union’s KGB. After the fall of the same, the CIA needed a purpose. So they cultivate terrorism and try to use it like pit bulls on very long leashes against Americans. That way we need them to feel safe.
bump
I fear you are right. #ISISISUS
Who is Brennan’s employer?
Is he an Iranian agent ?
John Brennan is a russian agent that penetrated obama administration into our cia.
