The director of the CIA has warned US President-elect Donald Trump that ending the Iran nuclear deal would be "disastrous" and "the height of folly". In a BBC interview, John Brennan also advised the new president to be wary of Russia's promises, blaming Moscow for much of the suffering in Syria. In his campaign, Mr Trump threatened to scrap the Iran deal and also hinted at working more closely with Russia. Mr Brennan will step down in January after four years leading the CIA. In the first interview by a CIA director with the British media, John Brennan outlined a number of areas where he said the new administration needed to act with "prudence and discipline" - these included the language used regarding terrorism, relations with Russia, the Iran nuclear deal and the way in which the CIA's own covert capabilities were employed.

As if supporting the Iran deal wasn’t already the height of folly.

Ironic, isn't it?

[Steely Tom]

One of the morons who put together the deal insists: "I'm a genius."

See: Dunning-Kruger Effect.

If an obomite appointee says keep it it should be dropped immediately.

Ding!

[HarleyLady27]

ARE you threatening the future POTUS??? I think since you are an islamist you should keep your mouth shut, and go help your buddies over there——————>

[Yulee]

So, the CIA Director was appointed by which President, who vetted him to make sure he would support that President?

[GreatRoad]

Brennan prays to Mecca five times a day. He is a Muslim convert and nut job, but I repeat myself.

[mrsmith]

Because if we’re nice to Iran it promised it won’t take over Iraq?

LOL!
I’d bet dollars to donuts that’s what is behind it.

[ari-freedom]

On the one hand he says to be wary of Russia’s promises but then he wants us to prop up Russia’s biggest ally. Once Iran is financially squished, we won’t have to worry about Russia anymore

[Gay State Conservative]

Obola knew from the start that the agreement would allow the medieval knuckledraggers running Iran to get a nuke.So how is scrapping it,and moving to Plan B (meaning an acknowledgment that Iran is an enemy of human civilization and acting accordingly) folly?

[Jane Austen]

Is it true that Brennan is a Moslem?

[boycott]

I’ll be happy to see this creep gone.

[Uncle Sam 911]

Brennan: Go to hell.

[Obadiah]

Yes.

[LIConFem]

In other news, CIA chief is warned that he’ll soon be out of a job. Film at 11:00...

[backwoods-engineer]

Who ARE these people? Apparently, the entire Fed.gov is riddled with traitors and Muslims.

[Uncle Sam 911]

At the height of the cold war, they let in a man who voted for a communist for President. Wait, in 1980, Jimmah Carter was President and the world was exploding in Iran and Poland. Now it makes sense.

Thanks!

So when are you cleaning out your desk again?

[RoosterRedux]

Muslim convert Brennan says what?

[beethovenfan]

Glad we’re getting rid of the Muslim Brennan.

In 1976, he voted for Communist Party USA candidate Gus Hall in the presidential election; he later said that he viewed it as a way "of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change."
