Ex-Cia agent, Michael Scheuer, penned a great critique… John Brennan as CIA chief would serve his own interests, not America’s
France’s recent interventions in Mali and Somalia underscore the accelerating ability of Al-Qaeda-in-the-Islamic-Mahgreb (AQIM) and its Africa-based allies to threaten the continent’s nation-states, as well as access to natural resources—oil, strategic minerals, and uranium—that are essential to the French, U.S., and other Western economies. The growing power and geographical reach of AQIM mirrors the growth of all components of Al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups, save possibly the central component in Afghanistan-Pakistan. The bottom line here is that sixteen years after Al-Qaeda and its allies began their religious war, the United States and the West confront an Islamist enemy that is larger, better armed, smarter, and far more geographically dispersed than ever before.
Now, that paragraph merits a fuller and more data-supported explanation, but for now, let’s look at one of the men—John Brennan—who for nearly 15 years has ensured both that the above-described growth in the Islamists’ power has occurred, and that most Americans have no idea that a still-growing part of the Muslim world is at war with the United States…
Please read the whole article…!
Now, was it a Palace Coup by Brennan…?
-John Brennan also ran a highly compartmentalized program out of the White House in regard to weapons transfers, and Stevens would not have been trusted with that type of information. Stevens likely helped consolidate as many weapons as possible after the war to safeguard them, at which point Brennan exported them overseas to start another conflict.
-During the rebellion against Gaddafi and in the aftermath of his death, Libya and North Africa became a staging ground for a dizzying array of operations by SpecOps, paramilitary forces, and international private military contractors working for everyone from European nations to multibillion-dollar oil corporations.
-What we do know is that the British Special Air Service (SAS) landed in Libya at some point—probably the secretive intelligence gathering component of the SAS called ‘The Increment,’ which works alongside MI-6.
-Elite counter-terrorist operators from America’s Delta Force were deployed to Libya as ‘analysts,’ which allowed President Obama to declare that America did not have any boots on the ground but was simply providing air support for the rebels. The reality was that Delta Force had a small contingent instructing the rebels in the finer points of weapons and tactics.
-Behind closed doors, President Obama had given his counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, carte blanche to run operations in North Africa and the Middle East, provided he didn’t do anything that ended up becoming an exposé in The New York Times and embarrassing the administration. In 2012, a secret war across North Africa was well underway.
-With JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command), Brennan waged his own unilateral operations in North Africa outside of the traditional command structure. These Direct Action (DA) operations, unlike the traditional ISR missions mentioned above, were ‘off the books’ in the sense that they were not coordinated through the Pentagon or other governmental agencies, including the CIA. With Obama more than likely providing a rubber stamp, the chain of command went from Brennan to McRaven, who would then mobilize the men of ISA (Intelligence Support Activity), SEAL Team Six, or Delta Force to conduct these missions…
Btw, where’s the Israeli Lobby when ya really need them to block a nomination, eh…?
*gah*

That includes me (the American part).
Que…? I would posit that we certainly haven’t won any ‘Hearts and Minds’ anywhere in the MENA recently…! And, I would add that Obomba’s little pet project(led by Brennan!), is even losing out on the Global stage…! 8-(
I think that the claim that “a still-growing part of the Muslim world is at war with the United States” is false, and also that such a claim feeds the idea that these radical Muslims have declared war on the U.S. and they must be eliminated, preferably by drones.
Now if Scheuer, or anyone, claimed that the U.S. is at war with much of the Muslim world then I would agree.
John Brennan is Obama’s “counterterrorism czar.” But, a counterpunch is a punch. A counterattack is an attack. And, a counterterrorist is a terrorist.
Besides, Brennan is senile. He tells lies so lame that their refutations are “old news.” Who wants somebody that far out of the loop to the the head of what’s supposedly the world’s top “intelligence agency”?
Its also worth noting that Paula Broadwell spoke publicly about a secret CIA prison in Benghazi not long before she and Petraeus were given their scarlet letters.
