Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

CIA’s Brennan says tearing up the Iran deal would be “height of folly”

Dec 1, 2016 10:31 am By Robert Spencer

This is the clearest indication yet that tearing up the Iran deal is just what the U.S. needs to do. “Do the opposite of what John Brennan recommends” would be the wisest course the next administration could possibly take. John Brennan is the person who — after U.S. Muslim groups demanded he do so – “purged” all mention of Islam and jihad from law enforcement counter-terror training materials in 2011.

“CIA’s Brennan says tearing up Iran deal would be ‘folly,'” CNBC, November 30, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

Outgoing CIA Director John Brennan has said it would be the “height of folly” for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to tear up Washington’s deal with Tehran because it would make it more likely that Iran and others would acquire nuclear weapons.

“It could lead to a weapons program inside of Iran that could lead other states in the region to embark on their own programs,” Brennan said in an interview with the BBC aired on Wednesday.

“So I think it would be the height of folly if the next administration were to tear up that agreement.”…

    If he says that, then we must do the opposite.

      Brennan is a crypto-Muslim who reportedly converted while in Saudi Arabia. Is he one of the greatest double agents of all time or is he one of the greatest fools of all time?

        He is a moslem. Even if many people are skeptical of Obama still secretly holding onto the moslem faith he was born into and grew up with, and believe that he is just a really empty suit badly faking it in his job, the case for Brennan as a moslem double-agent goes beyond conspiracy theory stuff. Even extreme skeptic sites like Snopes can’t debunk it, only say: unproven.

        I mean, let’s get real. The man is in charge of the freaking CIA and here he is bowing to demands of a religious group to cripple the abilities of the agency to gather intelligence and deal with the threat that members of that religious group create and follow through on? He’s the head of the CIA! What??? Either he is insane or the weakest, most incompetent CIA director who could ever exist or he is a moslem himself. All three at the same time is possible.

        ***********************
        Why not both?

        I’m very concerned for the future of America, even though Hillary did not get elected, some of the people Trump is considering, gives one cause for concern. It might actually be too late to turn the ship around, maybe, just maybe, the best one can do, is to be the first in line for the limited supply of life boats.

        I recently watched a very interesting and thought provoking documentary, “Titanic’s Final Mystery” which is currently available on Netflix. The parallel between the Titanic and the recent election is the illusion that all is well, when the exact opposite is the case.

        It demonstrated how a “mirage” caused by all the right elements converging at the right time, created the impression that the path ahead was clear with nothing to worry about, when in fact the ship was within minutes of crashing into the iceberg.

        Brennan is likely Muslim and compromised, but he is NOT a double agent. A double agent is someone who pretends to be an agent for one country secretly acts for an enemy of that country.

        Nobody really believes that Brennan is or was motivated by what is best for the U.S. – his purge of training materials is eloquent proof of his loyalties.

        Brennan is simply a Saudi stooge. The Trump administration would do well to quarantine Brennan himself and anyone within three degrees of separation from him and ban any involvement with government entities.

We in a war, with isis, The result of a muslum pres was the birth of isis, one million muslums flooding eu, and now isis in 30 countries. Thank you, obummer.. rot in hell, you traitor!

    If John Brennan is indeed responsible for the purging of all law enforcement training manuals and materials, from local cops to the CIA of any mention of jihad, Islam or Muslims, then he is a very dangerous man and should himself be purged from the US government at any level. Tell me he’s not being considered for a cabinet position in the Trump administration.

    Cheers!

      100% agree… They need to reprint all the training manuals. What they did was criminal in wartime, and nobody held accountable

    Why do these guys act as though they have some deeper understanding of the situation? They’re either traitors or clueless. Trump should definitely do the opposite of whatever people this this recommend.

    • mortimer says

      Or they could be both … clueless traitors.

    He has the eyes of the soulless dead, worshipper of satan. Not to be trusted as an agent of islam and the beast’s demon father.

    Did anyone else read the book by Dr. Vincent Pry on the dangers and threats of an EMP?
    He has a lot to say about iran and its nuclear weapons.

    • Don McKellar says

      Dec 1, 2016 at 12:04 pm

      I hadn’t looked closely at photos of the man, but he does indeed have those same dead shark eyes we see in all these photos of jihadi murderers. Wow!

      Worse thing is we are extremely susceptible to a major solar flare like in 1869. It would send us back to the Stone Age or worse. ALL the basic survival skills and subsistence knowledge is gone!

        I worry more about targeted attacks. I think we can be back up and running fairly quickly after a solar flare, from the computer scientists I’ve spoken with.

          I hope so. From what I understand there are over a thousand large electrical relays around the country and they will be wiped out along with ALL the new cars and trucks and planes electronics. I hope this is not the case. Supposedly that’s why the Russians ran all vacuum tubes during the cold war instead of transistors and diodes and the like.

    Any Government who assumes Iran will deal honestly and honorably with them is itself just as crooked and deceitful as Iran. Have we so soon forgotten that hostage crisis?

    If Trump tears up the Nuclear Deal, it will only hasten what I ran is already doing. I say, let’s get this over and done with now while there is still a free Western World.

    The real “height of folly” was when Obama along with John Kerry and a number of other fool politicians of other Western nations had the feeling the they could actually workout an actual worthwhile compromise with the “Mullah regime” of Iran. The result of those so called “negotiations” with the Islamic officials of Iran was the disaster and farce of a “deal.” Such foolishness of a hoped for compromise with that evil tyrannical Islamic a fools quest of folly . As a former US President ,Franklin D. Roosevelt had declared ” There never has been – there never can be – successful compromise between good and evil.”

    I don’t know why my earlier post on Brennan disappeared, but here it is again.

    Brennan should be tried for treason for being a Saudi agent. He got turned while he was CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia. I wonder if he has been a long term behind the scences enabler of Huma Abedin?

    Well isn’t this a surprise? The muslim convert says its folly! Totally unexpected!!

    This guy needs to be under 24 hour surveillance himself.

    I wonder what kind of mess he’s left for his successor to clean up?

    Brennan,
    Shut up and go far far away you pathological old man.

  15. rappini says

    Dec 2, 2016 at 12:44 pm

    This might be a duplication as I didn’t read all the posts but Brennan converted to a Muslim in 1970 when he was station chief for the CIA in Saudi Arabia.

  16. Carolyne says

    Dec 2, 2016 at 1:36 pm

    That would certainly have qualified him to be Obama’s head of CIA.

    Since it was “the height of folly” of the current administration to make such bad agreement with Iran in the first place, how it can be “a folly” to dismantle it? That agreement has made Iran to become a nuclear power a certainty. It seems that it was the real “height of folly” to put Mr. Brennon as a head of the CIA.

    • Trico says

      Dec 2, 2016 at 9:36 pm

      “It seems that it was the real “height of folly” to put Mr. Brennon as a head of the CIA.” Not if your Agenda was to load the Government with as many Muslims and Muslim Sympathizers as possible.
