| John Brennan's Willful Blindness |
| 2013-02-15 |
| On her way out the door, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the unsayable. Literally. Until last month, when she repeatedly warned in congressional testimony concerning the Benghazi debacle that we confront a “global jihadist threat,” the Obama administration did not allow the use of the words jihad and threat in the same sentence. How ironic that the principal architect of this “see-no-jihad” policy is John Brennan, President Obama’s current Homeland Security and Counter-terrorism Advisor and his choice to head the Central Intelligence Agency. Setting aside the obvious questions about why Mrs. Clinton chose her swan song on Capitol Hill to state the obvious but impermissible truth, if she’s right, then why on earth would the Senate want to entrust critical collection and analysis of intelligence to the very person who has epitomized and enforced a policy of willful blindness toward the central threat of our time: the supremacist Islamic ideology of Shariah and the holy war, or jihad, its adherents are obliged to wage? Brennan has repeatedly insisted that jihad is not about holy war. Rather, as he put it in a speech in May 2010, “Jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or one’s community.” |

| #3 "Jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or one's community" If 99% of the Islamic population uses the term to mean violent struggle it doesn't matter the legal definition is. After all the West isn't allowed to say "Crusade" because clearly there is only one meaning and that is anti-Islamic war. |

| #2 I'm continually gob smacked by cretins like Brennan who insist on this crap in the face of countless honest to goodness Muslim Holymens saying the exact opposite. Personally, if I was a Mohammedan Holymen I would be insulted that this idiot thinks I'm so stupid I don't know what I'm saying about my own religion!! |

| #1 Brennan was also in charge of the Fort Hood shooting investigation. If it is discovered that he was at the controls of the Benghazi disaster, he might face a difficult challenge. |
