John Brennan is wrong man for CIA
FoxNews ^ | February 07, 2013 | Steven Emerson

Unfortunately, President Obama's nominee to head the CIA, Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan, has shown a tendency to fall for the bait from radical Islamists. Globally, he repeatedly expressed a hope that "moderates" within Iran and its terror proxy Hezbollah would steer their respective constituencies away from terrorism.

Domestically, he claims that radical Islam does not pose its own, unique threat to American security. He has helped strip language about "radical Islam" and similar terms from government vernacular, choosing instead to refer to "violent extremism."

If he is a fricking converted Muslim, he is wrong to head the CIA under any capacity.

......, choosing instead to refer to "violent extremism."

Yes, that describes us rabid right-wing conservatives who think the US Constitution only means what it specifically says (in actual words). We are the people of whom, Obama and the rest of his ilk are deathly afraid. We stand in the way of the evil they wish to promulgate and the slavery into which they wish us all.

When Obama isn’t filling government positions with Moslems, he’s filling it with Moslem sympathizers.

Is he working for the American people or al-Qaeda?

In the FOX News piece a few minutes ago, they discussed the ethical views (of Brennan) from when he worked under a Republican President versus his ethical views under the current President. Did this change of heart take place when he allegedly converted to Islam while deployed to Saudi Arabia? The news piece did not elaobrate. As an older adult, a religous conversion not only seems odd, but suspect in this context. Are we watching a real-life “Homeland” episode?

No wonder there was no rush to rescue the four dead Americans.

John Brennan, President Obama’s chief national security adviser for counter-terrorism: “Our enemy is not terrorism because terrorism is but a tactic. Our enemy is not terror because terror is a state of mind and, as Americans, we refuse to live in fear. Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or one’s community.”

What is "Homeland"? Something on cable with a 4% market share?

The claim that Brennan is now a convert to Wahhabi Islam would certainly explain that quote.

Sounds about like what you'd have got from Alger Hiss in 1947, if you'd asked him, "aren't you concerned about Communism and Soviet expansionism?"
