Because of Brennans adherence to the politically-correct orthodoxy that permeates the Obama administration the U.S. government is being prevented from identifying understanding and countering radical Muslims and their threat of imposing Shariah law.
President Barack Obamas CIA nominee John Brennans confirmation is being stonewalled by Republican and Democrat lawmakers due to questions about Obamas use of a lethal drone program according to Fox News Channels Catherine Herridge FNCs chief national security correspondent on Thursday.
We will see if that actually happens or not Chris Anders senior legislative counsel for the ACLU told Fox News Herridge. If it doesnt thats a pretty big signal this nomination is in trouble largely over this (drone) issue Anders said.
Herridge reports that the Brennan confirmation has already been pushed back two weeks over a handful of issues ranging from the Benghazi terrorist attack to drones including the growing bipartisan push on Capitol Hill for the Obama White House to release all the legal memos justifying the targeted killing of American citizens overseas.
According to Herridges Thursday report during a hearing on the use of drones to hunt-down and kill American jihadists overseas the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said the Obama administration must do more explaining: The American people deserve to know and understand the legal basis under which the Obama administration believes it can kill U.S. citizens and under what circumstances Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said.
When President Barack Obama officially nominated Brennan for the director of the Central Intelligence Agency position counterterrorism officials at all levels of government said they hoped the Senate confirmation hearings and debates would give Americans a clear understanding of what makes Brennan tick. Instead the White House version of Brennans qualifications were pushed by the Democrats and allowed to go unchallenged by some feckless Republicans according to former intelligence officer and criminal investigator Sid Franes.
People in the White House say he is legendary in the White House for working hard" said Obama when announcing the nomination adding that he wasnt sure if Brennan had slept in four years. However some experts claim Brennan is not a good choice for such an important national security role.
Brennan who served a quarter-century with the CIA has served as Obamas top counterterrorism aide since 2009. If confirmed he will fill the post left vacant by David Petraeus who resigned in November during an extramarital-affair scandal.
In John Brennan the men and women of the CIA will have the leadership of our nations most skilled intelligence professionals" said Obama. "That unique combination of smarts and strength that he claims comes from growing up in New Jersey."
But not everyone is enthusiastic about Brennan being the new CIA chief.
Mr. Brennan is at best willfully blind to the threat posed to homeland and national security of the United States by those who adhere to Shariah law" said Tom Trento director of Florida Security Council who has been critical of Brennans service in the Obama White House.
Some of the nations top intelligence military national security and law enforcement experts once loudly called for John Brennan to resign from his post or for President Barack Obama to fire Brennan.
During a press conference in September 2010 at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. respected experts including officials from the Florida Security Council told reporters that because of Brennans adherence to the politically-correct orthodoxy that permeates the Obama administration the U.S. government is being prevented from identifying understanding and countering radical Muslims and their threat of imposing Shariah law.
Frank Gaffney a former Assistant Secretary of Defense during the Reagan administration and others claim that Shariah is a supremacist totalitarian legal doctrine that leads to terrorism torture abuse of women and young girls and other horrors.
A major piece of evidence that points to the dangers associated with Brennans failure to perform his primary function to know the enemy and its threat doctrine came to light when analysts at the Florida Security Council discovered that a known Hamas operative and unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history (Holy Land Foundation) Sheik Kifah Mustaphaparticipated in a six-week-long government-sponsored Citizens Academy" hosted by the FBI as part of its outreach to the Muslim community.
During the six-week FBI program Mustapha a man tied to an officially designated terrorist organization was escorted into the top secret National Counterterrorism Center and other secure government facilities including the FBI National Academy located on the Quantico U.S. Marine Base in Virginia.
Terrorism expert Steve Emerson director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism exposed Mustaphas appointment in Illinois to a post as a State Police chaplain. However according to Illinois officials the appointment was revoked in spite of the protests of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan must resign his post immediately" said Mr. Gaffney whose Center for Security Policy released a report entitled Shariah: The Threat to America.
