Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, is calling for the resignation — or immediate firing — of Obama adviser John Brennan.

The New York Republican tells me that Brennan's downplaying, on Saturday, of the 20 percent recidivism rate at Gitmo was the final straw.

John Brennan, Obama, Biden and the lot of them ought to be fired. It's going to be a long, dangerous three years otherwise.

This stupid prick Brennan should be made to speak to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and spout this bs. The mans a disgrace.

Brennan shouldn’t have any problem with that 20% coming to his house.

Obama and his administration have come up with a solution for the recidivism problem: kill them rather than capture them. Just one problem, that actually helps the terrorists.

Here's how: Lawfare.

Take all the ex-detainees and have them move into Brennan’s house.

Why do I also get the feeling BO/BS and his judicial henchmen will also use this as a method to hold the military accountable in some alleged brutal killing thereby having them tried for war crimes by the International court at the Hague?

Any homeland security adviser who can't tell the difference between a terrorist and a shoplifter doesn't belong in office," King said.

Mayberry is looking for a deputy sheriff replacement I heard.

He could advise a city perhaps?

You will not win a war if your resolve and commitment to fight it is only 80%.
Brennan’s statement is defeatist and dangerous...and stupid.
