Interesting….Irony? Thanks for the background…

Wears a lapel pin flag and keeps you all safe at night though.

Ungrateful hippies.

Just ask TBogg…he’ll set you straight.

That is not the right picture. John Brennan (drone death count liar) is a different person/monster.

So glad the second term is off to such a progressive start … Brennan, Hagel and Kerry make quite the neverending war cabinet.

Jane, you know perfectly well the real issue!

Kiriakou engaged in an unauthorized classified leak.

Others, such as Casey, engaged in an authorized classified leak.

There is a big difference between simply breaking the law and… umm…

Anyone happen to know if the USG has an org chart? Has anyone ever mapped it out with profiles / histories? I imagine Wiki has a lot of info, but not necessarily in an easy to use format that allows people to see both “solid” lines and “dotted” lines for reporting relationships over time. I bet it’d be fascinating.

Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism

Figure this one came along after 9/11. Wars r us is our new motto. Never mind social security. We got folks to kill you know.

Ah! I stand corrected.

Obviously, Brennan is higher up on the Dark Gov org chart than Obama.

We were told many times that once he was free from worry about reelection, Obama would be the president he always wanted to be.

I guess they were right.

Oh, Good God, Nooooooo. That guy is so fucking evil that he makes Cheney look kind.

Corrected the picture I see…that is the monster in question.

Yep, just what we expected isn’t it.

Isn’t Brennan the guy who told Congress that our drones don’t kill civilians, that there have been no civilian casualties?

Should be little doubt at this point Barack Obama is killing human beings who get in the way of American Empire quests for global militarism domination and hegemony. It is plain to see Barack Obama relentlessly and with a murky justification process has been killing human beings since early 2009 who often are innocents and children in other lands.Evidently resisting American Empire or fighting back are grounds for this POTUS to send death-dealers and killer-bots which seem all about killing human beings via death-dealing based on lethal cowardice and terrorism. Terms USians would find horrific were this being done/taking place in North America,Hawaii or Alaska to ordinary USians.

One can surmise were this being done by a R POTUS the Team D loyalists and apologists would be doing different politics other than IOKIYAAD. The shameless indifference of IOKIYAAD as applied to Obama is just plain naked.

John Brennan surely has the dark intents/credentials that POTUS Obama The Innocents/Children Killer is looking to put at the top of CIA.

Seems Barack Obama and the killers POTUS Obama allows/orders to operate willy nilly across the globe dealing out death while conducting American Empire by overt/covert means and ways and/or meddling in/thwarting other nations self determinations consider themselves to be Untouchable. Not subject to either national or international legal scrutiny for/over war crimes and human rights abuses or violations or seeing any legal charges or prosecution/punishment. How Colonial and Imperial.

It is devious and dark hearted how USA and its Presidents and major USG war making/death dealing officers/bosses accords itself/themselves rights to condemn and sanction world leaders and nations at/on USG imperial whim while at same time holding themselves untouchable to any consequences from such actions coming to them brought up by other nations or peoples. This state of affairs hopefully one day will be undone by those who have better instincts of right and wrong. Of good and evil.

American Empire is a dark intentioned empire and it will be a good day when Langley is abolished by a POTUS who saw/sees the rot and darkness of conduct CIA was/is built on/around.

Lets hope that good day is not too afar. For our and all human kind sakes.

So you don’t have to be a WASP to be DCIA anymore…, but does that mean you run the CIA or head the CIA? Other than that, yawn.

The White House apparently thinks the Legislative Branch will wave Brennan through:

His tenure at the agency during Bush’s presidency drew criticism from liberals when Obama considered naming him CIA director after the 2008 election. Brennan denied being involved in what the government called “enhanced interrogation techniques” during the Bush administration, but still withdrew his name from consideration.

In a letter to Obama at the time, Brennan said he was “a strong opponent of many of the policies of the Bush administration, such as the pre-emptive war in Iraq and coercive interrogation tactics, to include waterboarding.” Many people consider waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods to be torture.

White House officials say they don’t expect Brennan to face similar trouble this time around given his four years of service in the Obama administration.

“The issue has been removed from the debate because the president and John Brennan, as his top counterterrorism adviser, brought those techniques to an end,” Rhodes said.

I presume Mr Brennan is no more or less evil than his Cohorts.

Which is not intended as a pass for being good for Mr Brennan.

Precisely!

Which makes the so-called “peace activists” campaigning for his nominees all the more disturbing.

I know I have said it before, but I don’t think that it can be said often enough. Those who voted for o own the vicious attacks on innocent people that has been so condemned at Sandy Hook and the WTC towers. o was given the nobel peace prize. That committee has made bad choice after bad choice. So we have a nobel laureate trying very hard to take any safety net away from older folks here and killing people in other countries and claiming that wedding parties, babies, and kids playing soccer are terrorists. The latest nominees or potential nominees to o’s highest positions, this latest included, are simply more of the same.

Brennan is dangerous to Obama’s own life. I think Obama may not have a choice, unless he wants to meet Kennedy’s fate. Any president selecting an CIA lifer is asking for trouble. Unless Obama is so dumb that he does not not realize this. People like Colby, Hoover, etc. know too much, and should be eliminated when the guard changes. But staying this long on the job produces too much information against the president. One more reason to believe that choice of Brennan was not voluntary.

Hey!

Wutsamadder wid youse guys?

Ain’t youse got da message?

Dis here ain’t no pantywaste democracy, dis here’s a bidness. And our bidness is makin’ a big killin’, the biggest possible.

You all keep this up, Miss Hamsher, and you’ll get the Teaboggers all pissed off wid us. They ain’t afraid of no drones, just ask ‘em.

Wuds all this lillyliver crap? I ask ya.

Why so squeamish? Of course our names is all over these drones, everybuddy in da woild knows dat … jeeesh. You all worry ’bout nonsense, you is safe ain’t ya? You got food to put on yer fambly, right? Youses got cars and gas ta put in yer tanks, and even yer cars, doncha?

If da President wants to keep this all hushed up, and go on a real Brennen bender what’s da problem?

You don’t really wanna watch dis stuff on TV, now do ya, or hear about it on the news, or read about it in the papers do ya? Most good folks, in this country don’t want ta know nothin’ about this stuff, it ain’t their job, that’s why we electicate the Prez and all them folks in Congress; to do our thinkin’ for us … why, there is a genuine list of good Democrats in Congress and the White House more’n a mile long who spend every moment of their day AND nights just thinkin’ about nothin’ but you and how best to keep you and yours safe. If you don’t believe me, why just ask them.

Just think how bad things would be if that other guy had got in?

Doesn’t bear thinkin’ about, now does it, none of it?

Obama won the ‘lection, fair and square, and he can do as he damn well pleases. That ain’t irony, that’s the American way … you buy it and its yorn. You can sell it, you can sit on it, you can break it into little bitty pieces … you don’t believe me? Just ask a big banker.

And, if all them other people don’t like it, well tough … we got the drones and they ain’t. And you’ve heard about the latest rendition, I reckon? We got ways … ta git whut we want. I’d tell ya who you should ask … but then, they’d haf ta kill ya.

And all this moanin’ about whats the right thing ta do and being ascared of drone “blowback” is just coward talk, and Ronnie Reagan and Barack Obama would both tell ya that, right to yer face … and there are a bunch of others, here, who will hound you about it, as well, and ya won’t even haf ta ask ‘em …

Remember, we don’t “do” nuance … and we don’t subscribe to no irony.

Perpetual war ensures everlasting peace, you betha.

That ain’t irony, its bidness, and you won’t even see it comin’.

(Now be careful, please, when you jump the snark … it’s got a bite)

;~DW

Exactly, some of us OWN wwjsd (what would Jill Stein do?).

At what point do the people begin to care about the points you raise? How far is this Administration willing to go, and will it ever be too far? Will the American People ever even notice how our Country is viewed abroad?
