The appointment of Rosa Brooks to a mid level post in the defense department has largely gone under the radar, however it is one of the most perplexing and radical appointments of the Obama administration. Brooks, most recently an L.A. Times columnist, now heads to the Pentagon.

This is not surprising at all.
FUBO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone braced for the next terrorist attack yet?
What? You hired another radical? How could you do that?
The only redeeming hope in all of this is that she will have to go through the process of getting a security clearance and all of her “special” relationships will be known to the DOD security folks.
Here is something really scary. Obama is privy to every secret program and weapons system.
She probably be designated as the Pentagon’s “peace” sign “guru” or “peace” sign “czar.” I don’t think the Pentagon has one of those yet.

What in the hell business does a newspaper columnist have working at a mid-level position at the Pentagon?
They really are that stupid.
From “Alger Hiss: The Volkogonov affair”
“The bipartisan Moynihan commission went further—not just on perjury, but on espionage—the commission’s unanimous Final Report concluding, “The complicity of Alger Hiss of the State Department seems settled.”[487]
Regarding Hiss, “corroborative evidence now available puts that identification beyond reasonable doubt,” write former British MP Christopher Andrew and former KGB agent Vasili Mitrokhin.[488]
Hiss’ “role as a spy was eventually proven,” says American University historian Robert Beisner.[489] Weinstein presented “overwhelming evidence of Hiss’s espionage,” writes Beisner, who calls Venona the “coup de grâce.”[490] “In August 1948, Alger Hiss lied before HUAC,” writes Ryan Ervin of Eastern Illinois University. “His testimony before HUAC proves this beyond any doubt. Intercepted Soviet cables during the Cold War, released in 1996, further prove Hiss’s Communist ties.”[491] “The broad sweep of Chambers’ allegations are now beyond doubt,” writes David McKnight of the University of New South Wales.[492]
In light of recent scholarship, notes Hayden Peake, curator of CIA’s Historical Intelligence Collection, “it is hard to see how even the most frequently made counterargument—that there was no Communist involvement in espionage—can be sustained…. The same is true when it comes to specific cases, but supporters of Alger Hiss … will no doubt persist.”[493]
Even on the left, few authorities disagree. “My own sense of things was that Hiss had been a [Communist] party member in the Thirties and did give Soviet agents documents,” wrote Arthur Schlesinger,[494] an “unabashedly liberal partisan”[495] who “equates capitalism with sexism and racism.”[496] Schlesinger concluded of Hiss, “I believe him to be guilty.”

She probably didn’t have to pass any SCI checks, as Obama waived them. Furthermore, she will pave the road for Westley Clark to become SECDEF.

Tha Manchurian Candidate..... I mean.....President.
The military he hates is going to save his sorry ass.
Obama has been giving a one-fingered salute to America and some idiots think he’s just waving at them.
just pray nothing happens to Sec. Gates
