National Security Flashback
Remember how those on the left bashed Bush for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Remember how they ranted about how Bush was handling national security. When the left criticized Bush, they claimed it patriotic. Now that the shoe is on the Democratic foot, those who criticize the Obama administration are now “serving the goals of al-Qaeda….” so says Obama’s Deputy National Security advisor John Brennan.
ABC News reports via Jake Tapper:
In an oped in USA Today, John Brennan — Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism — responds to critics of the Obama administration’s counterterrorism policies by saying “Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda.”
Brennan writes that, “Terrorists are not 100-feet tall. Nor do they deserve the abject fear they seek to instill.”
In the oped, titled “‘We need no lectures’: Administration disrupts terrorists’ plots, takes fight to them abroad,” Brennan writes that politics “should never get in the way of national security. But too many in Washington are now misrepresenting the facts to score political points, instead of coming together to keep us safe.”
The administration op-ed is in response to a USA Today editorial entitled “National security team fails to inspire confidence; Officials’ handling of Christmas Day attack looks like amateur hour.”
Brennan provides a detailed defense of the administration’s handling of failed Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab whom, he says, was “thoroughly interrogated and provided important information.”
Obama and his administration are truly thin-skinned. Writing an op-ed to defend a stupid decision to Mirandize a terrorists before calling in the high-value interrogation group, which was created to question terrorism suspects.
Just another attempt to pass the blame on to Bush for something Obama’s idiots did. How does revealing that a captured terrorists is cooperating with authorities help. It was strictly done for political purposes.
It truly is amateur hour at the White House and our national security is affected by these idiotic decisions and the failure to connect the dots. Maybe instead of writing op-ed pieces, Brennan should concentrate on national security and how to improve it. Pointing fingers is not acceptable.
The Politically Incorrect News: Tuesday Edition
Some items you may or may not have read…
Item #1- Rachel Maddow compares Tea Party attendees to the KKK. Tom Tancredo mentions that people should have to take a “civics” test before voting. Maddow links this comment to what the Democrats did to blacks for over 100 years when they forced blacks to take “literacy tests” to keep them from voting. During her rant, Maddow never mentions that it was Democrats who enforced literacy tests, poll taxes and Jim Crow laws to keep blacks from voting. Maddow is your typical progressive history changer.
Item #2- Since we are on the race issue, it is reported that blacks are upset with Obama for not helping more. The Congressional Black Caucus (the same ones who praised Castro) is upset because Obama hasn’t created programs specifically for black people. Isn’t that racist in and of itself. Why should a group receive special “programs” just because of their skin color? Obama is the President of all Americans, not just a group of Americans.
Item #3- More Democrat corruption. Senator Menendez (D-NJ) Prodded Fed to Aid Ailing Lender. The lender just happened to be big contributors to his campaign. DemoCROOKS have no shame.
Item #4- How the Chicago team is ruining Obama’s presidency. Chicago loons like Axelrod, Emanuel, Gibbs and Jarrett are Obama’s group of thugs who spin, lie and attack to help their feckless leader. Obama has to have help spreading the wealth people.
Item #5- Fox News’ Red Eye beats the entire CNN primetime line-up. That’s all you need to know about the alphabet-media.
