#1 I used to laugh about Bizzarro World. Now I'm pretty sure I live in it...

#3 John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of "political, economic and social forces,"

Somehow, we all knew this was the case. Future clients of some global community organziers no doubt.

#4 They call themselves Terrorists or Jihadists and they call us Crusaders and we're not allowed to use any of these terms? Talk about letting your enemy define the debate.

Personally I would prefer if we put air quotes around these terms everytime and say them with a sneer to mock the evil dooers.

#5 Much the way Lebensraum was a legitimate tenet of Nazism.

I still dread Brennan is going to replace Blair as DNI.

#6 This guy ( Brennan ) has got to be a " New Fifth Columnist " How on Earth did he get to be in such a position, spouting such drivel.

#7 Thanks for the lecture on these murderous stoneage thugs and thanks for couching it in bullshit PC terms. Nothing like diverting attention from the problem. I think we need someone as a top counter terrorism advisor who knows more than sucking up to our enemies. Is this part of the 2010 apology tour? Somehow I feel much safer. Glad I stocked up on American- made ammo today. That makes me feel safer.

#8 Other than the fact that he was addressing CSIS, aka SPECTRE, I think the best way to deal with this schmuck is to get into the habit of naming his John "Terrorist Apologist" Brennan. Or John "T.A." Brennan, for short.

While it is a ha-ha in Internetland, if word got out about it in the real world, it could mess him up big time. Such people have lots of enemies and competitors who would love to know such a nickname.
