FNC’s Wallace Grills CIA Chief for Falsely Claiming Al Qaeda on the Run
Breitbart ^ | 03/22/2015 | Pam Key

On this weekend’s “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace quizzed CIA Director John Brennan over his 2012 claim al Qaeda was on the run during the 2012 presidential election.

After Wallace ran a clip of Brennan in 2012 saying this will be the decade al Qaeda’s demise he asked, “Director Brennan, weren’t you just flat wrong about that?”

Brennan shot back “No. When we look at al Qaeda and look what has happened to al Qaeda as the core of al Qaeda that was in the area of Afghanistan and Pakistan, they have taken some really big hits.”

Chris Wallace is a PUTZ who only grills people on the right. He is no different than the others.

This phenomenon that Dash represents right now is a new one. It is one that has grown up in the past two years.”

I thought Obama said ISIS got started during Bush. Or was he just lying?

Aren’t Brennan and Al Qaeda on the same team?

You nailed it, Brennan is simply practicing taqquiyah for his muzzie buds.

You arfe correct. Within the last week Obama was quoted as saying that Isis is Bush’s fault. Now Brennan says that ISIS only took root two years ago. Bush has been gone for 6 years. Even a child could figure out the math(unless they had Common Core).

Like all political appointees, John Brennon’s job one is to protect his boss. Then himself. Then the boss’s party. Then and only then is his job to run the CIA as efficiently as possible. Can anyone honestly tell me that that the FBI is as effective or efficient now as it was under J. Edgar Hoover?

Exactly!

And Obama is a master of Taqiyya and Jive.

Brennan is the chief-criminal of the regime. He knows that CIA created al Qaeda and continues to fund it, even as it marries itself to ISIS under CIA direction. But Americans refuse to see what is so obvious, so this lying criminal murderer gets away with it still.

But what about the part of his job you didn’t mention—the secret part? Wouldn’t it just by its very nature trump all others?

From there I would ask how much of the secret part involves thwarting the enemies of al qaeda?

Brennan was technically correct: al Qaeda was on the run in 2012.

On the run to Libya, to Iraq, to Yemen, etc.

I guess there is some mystical aura of evil emanating from Bush that bring on misfortune for America. From ISIS to the economy, Bush is still manipulating misfortune from behind the curtain.

I’m still listening but it seems to me that Wallace is dismantling Brennan pretty effective in a low key manner. Brennan acknowledged that their evaluations have been flawed in recent years due to “complicated situations” and still backs the Iraq withdrawal in the face of its obvious players.

I kinda thought the word “efficiently” covered the entire job description, including the secret part.

But in reality, NO. The first and most important part of his job is to thwart(great word, I wish I had used it first) the enemies of Obama.

What strikes me is that the various Obama spokespeople all either believe Obama’s lies (e.g. John Kerry), are too dumb to know the difference (e.g. the State Department Valley girls) or know the truth but will tell the lie anyway (e.g. Hillary and Susan Rice).

we should remember that anything Brenner says is filtered through his Mooselime heart - he converted years ago when living in S. Arabia/

Question: Do we have anyone in the Exec branch that ISN”T black or Mooseslime or both?

T.Joscelyn and B.Roggio of Long War Journal have demolished the ‘core Al Qaeda’ trope many times.

Surely you can see—given all that has transpired in Obama’s life history and during his time in office—that there would be many Americans wondering exactly who “the enemies of Obama” are. In reality, underneath the theatrical process.

Throw Brennan’s Moslem faith into the mix of secrecy and deception, and the questions grow.
