#1 Does he also refer to Spain as al Andalus? And the US as the Great Satan?

#5 Brennan held a series of positions at the agency in America and abroad; he worked in Saudi Arabia and in Washington on Near Eastern and South Asian analyses. In the 1990s, he led counter-terrorism efforts for a variety of programs and worked closely with Tenet, who appointed him as his chief of staff in 1999.

Brennan was named CIA deputy executive director in March 2001 and served in that post until 2003.

No surprises here. This is the same man who....with all of his US State Department ME regional counterterrorism knowledge, language, Agency intelligence experience and assignments, FAILED to prevent the attack on 9/11. Why is he still on the Federal payroll?

#6 Why is he still on the Federal payroll?

I don't know. Because the current govmint is trying to show the mooselimbs how understanding, compromising, empathetic, sympathetic, apologetic, sensitive, anti-semitic, PC, and because we have a president whose name is Barack Hussein Obama? And maybe because they are collectively crazy? In denial about 911?.

I heard lots of "inshallah", which he seems to think means "God willing," as opposed to "Allah willing" to that audience.
