John Brennan - An Idiot With No Concept of The Real World

John Brennan is President Obama's Assistant for Homeland Security and Counter terrorism.

And a fool.

I do not use that word lightly. In this case it completely fits.

In a speech today, he actually stated the following drivel:


"We do not use the word terrorism, because terrorism is a tactic."


"We do not use the word terror, because terrorism is a state of mind"


"We do not use the word Islamists or Jihad, because Jihad is a holy struggle, and legitimate to the teachings of Islam."

Or something to that effect. Forgive me if it's not an exact quote but I felt the compelling urge to jot this down while the idiocy was still fresh in my mind.

John, I don't know where to begin with this lunacy. But here goes. First, 'terrorism' is indeed a tactic. So what? Is it impossible to declare war on a tactic or practice? No. Besides, what's the tactic? To wage terroristic acts against the unbelievers to punish them for Allah.

Second, 'terror' has many definitions, one of which is a 'state of mind'. Is anyone really that confused that they would not know the context in which it's intended? Gee John, you're so smart. I wish us plain old rabble were as smart as you and the brilliant folks in the White House.

Third, these terrorists are indeed and in fact Islamists. They are also Jihadists. They have declared Jihad against the west, against infidels, against Jews, and pretty much against anyone who will not willingly submit to the will of "Allah". They call themselves "Islamic Jihad" and lots of other names that not only identify themselves as Islamists, but Jihadists too. You are an idiot John. Wishing something were not true - wishing Islam were indeed a peaceful and wonderful religion - does not make it true.

My God, the staggeringly blind political correctness of this Administration is placing our Nation and our way of life in dire jeopardy. Let's throw these bums out as soon as we can before there is nothing left to rebuild.

UPDATE 5/27/10:

This take from The Astute Bloggers:

INSANE: BRENNAN SAYS THAT JIHADO-TERRORISTS ARE VICTIMS WHO ARE NOT MOTIVATED BY RELIGION

WZ:

This is absolutely outrageous, the fact that someone this deranged, who defends jihadis as “victims,” is defending us from al-Qaeda sends shivers up my spine… The president’s top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam,” arguing that the term “jihadists” should not be used to describe America’s enemies.

During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of “political, economic and social forces,” but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in “religious terms."

THIS MAN BRENNAN SHOULD BE FIRED; HE IS A MENACE TO THE USA AND THE ENTIRE WEST.
