While many will agree that the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the “mastermind” of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, has made the world a safer place, and that we owe a debt a gratitude to the Israelis for this latest act of derring-do, designed to further slow Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons, John Brennan – who […]
John Brennan blasts killing of Iranian nuclear scientist as ‘criminal’ and ‘reckless’
“Traitor-in-Chief” John Brennan, former head of the CIA, who once defended Hizballah as having “a social and political nature to it as well” and endorsed its influence in Lebanese politics, is now blasting the killing of the Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh as “a criminal act” and “highly reckless.” Music to Iran’s ears. Ted Cruz […]
Robert Spencer video: John Brennan and others charging Trump with “treason” are the real traitors
In this new video, I discuss the controversy that followed the press conference between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and shows that those who were charging that the President had committed treason had turned a blind eye to actual treason by Barack Obama.
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Left’s Trump-Putin Meltdown
Just another nail in the coffin of the Leftist establishment’s credibility. My latest in FrontPage: In a press conference with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump refused to validate the findings of a deeply corrupt and compromised intelligence community that has been working assiduously since before he was even elected to discredit and destroy him, and now […]
Robert Spencer: Democrat Leaders Protest Trump’s Determination to Fight Jihad
Spurious moral equivalence employed in order to divert attention from the real threat. My latest at The Geller Report: It was reported Friday that “a trio of House Democrats say President Trump is making a mistake pushing for counter-extremism efforts to focus only on radical Islam….Friday’s letter was signed Democratic Reps. Bennie Thompson (Md.), Eliot […]
CIA’s Brennan says tearing up the Iran deal would be “height of folly”
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 – […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Obama’s claim “no religious rationale” for terrorism
Is there really “no religious rationale” for terrorism, as Barack Obama has said? In this new video, I show why that is a false assumption that leads to wrong and repeatedly failed policies.
Raymond Ibrahim: The Psycho and Pseudo Jihad
Whenever Muslims engage in behavior that ostensibly contradicts Islam—from doing recreational drugs and watching porn to killing fellow Muslims—Islam’s apologists loudly proclaim “Aha, see, they’re not true Muslims!” Or, in the words of CIA head John Brennan on the Islamic State: “They are terrorists, they’re criminals. Most—many—of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers who use a […]
John Brennan is completely unqualified to be Director of Central Intelligence
Robert Spencer wrote this yesterday: Is it widely known that there is a top intelligence official in the Obama Administration’s CIA who has converted to Islam? Yes. It was reported in none other than the Washington Post in 2012. Why couldn’t it be Brennan? The movie Zero Dark Thirty about the killing of Osama bin […]
CIA top dog: Jihad terror groups “are driven by this ideology that is not rooted in Islam”
Brennan said that “princes, presidents, and prime ministers throughout the Middle East” were “outraged that their community, the Muslim community, has been affected by this cancer – individuals who have this distorted and very perverted interpretation of Islam that pursue these psychopathic agendas of horrific violence. They recognize that they have a very important role, […]
CIA Director: Brexit is bigger crisis for the EU than the Islamic State
CIA Director John Brennan is claiming that the biggest crisis facing the EU is not the Islamic State threat, but Brexit. He is “prioritizing consequences of the referendum vote over the threat of terror posed by the Islamic State as refugees from the Middle East continue to stream into the continent.” Brennan, the onetime chief counter-terrorism advisor […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: It Was John Brennan Himself Who Halted LEO Training on Islam, Jihad
Over at PJ Media today I discuss John Brennan’s hypocrisy in lamenting the “global reach” of the Islamic State when he has done so much to enable it: While testifying in an open session of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, CIA director John Brennan admitted Thursday: Despite all our progress against ISIL on the […]
FBI training material purge likely caused agency to drop the ball on Orlando jihad mass murderer
On October 19, 2011, Farhana Khera of Muslim Advocates wrote a letter to John Brennan, who was then the Assistant to the President on National Security for Homeland Security and Counter Terrorism. The letter was signed not just by Khera, but by the leaders of virtually all the significant Islamic groups in the United States: […]
CIA director says secret 9/11 report pages full of hearsay, inaccurate info
The Obama administration continues to run interference for the Saudis. These 28 pages have not been redacted for so long because they contain “uncorroborated, unvetted information.” And why would the 911 Commission report contain such information, anyway? Why wouldn’t it have been corrected at the time of the report’s publication, or at any time thereafter? […]
Islamic State expanding in Libya and across wide area of Africa
“The rising threat from Libya comes as President Obama is being asked by many of his top military and intelligence advisers to approve the broader use of American military force in Libya to open another front against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.” He created this opportunity for the Islamic State with […]
Muslim hacker says he will release CIA top dog Brennan’s emails
All that pandering, and the jihadis cut him no slack. “Purported CIA email hacker pushed for ‘Free Palestine,’ praised Allah on Twitter,” Fox News, October 20, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Details are emerging about the motivations and the methods behind the alleged hack of CIA Director John Brennan’s personal AOL email account, with the […]
Raymond Ibrahim: CIA Says Muslims Join ISIS Because of … Economics
Speaking at the Council of Foreign Relations on March 13, CIA Director John Brennan said that “the Islamic State had ‘snowballed’ beyond Iraq and Syria, estimating that at least 20,000 fighters from more than 90 countries have gone to join the militant group, several thousand of them from Western nations, including the United States.” “Left […]
Brennan: Using term “radical Islam” gives jihadis “religious legitimacy”
He is saying that we have to pretend, and that the Obama Administration pretends, that they’re not Islamic at all — in other words, that the Administration is determined to ignore what they state as their guiding ideology, motives and goals. This is a recipe for disaster, as one cannot defeat an enemy one refuses […]
Raymond Ibrahim: CIA Chief John Brennan’s Deceptions About Islam
By constantly projecting Western standards on Islamic jihadis, CIA head John Brennan has come to epitomize the U.S. intelligence community’s intellectual failures concerning the true sources of the jihad. Last Friday, March 13, Brennan insisted that Islamic State (IS) members are not Islamic. Instead, “They are terrorists, they’re criminals. Most—many—of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers who […]
CIA’s Brennan: Islamic State not Islamic — they’re “psychopathic thugs”
“CIA Director John Brennan at an event Friday warned against ascribing “Islamic legitimacy” to the overseas terrorist group, saying that allowing them to identify themselves with Islam does a disservice to Muslims around the world.” The fallacious assumption here is that Muslims around the world are looking to non-Muslims in the West to show them […]
