Anyone who needed added proof of the ongoing Leftist-Islamist alliance needs look no further than John Brennan, the terror Tsar who has repeatedly failed to keep us safe from Muslims trying to kill us in the name of Jihad. I thought he was merely incompetent. After all, 4 security breaches in such a short period is a terrible record by any measure. I now realize that he is merely a member of a leftist administration actively cooperating with Islamists in line with the old dictum that the enemy of my enemy is my friend as Jean Bricmont recommended in 2006 when he suggested that the left put aside its scruples and join the Islamists anti-Western side.

 

A good illustration of the weakness of the left is the neither-nor ideology that has dominated the protests against recent conflicts: neither Milosevic nor Nato, neither Bush nor Saddam, neither Olmert nor Hamas. But these are false symmetries. In all wars there is an aggressor and a victim. To put both on the same level is to abandon any notion of national sovereignty. In each case there is no comparison possible between the two parties’ ability to inflict damage, since it is the US and its military might that is the current pillar of the world order. . . .Instead of sharing the western view of the world, the left should try to make westerners understand how the rest of the world sees us and oppose anything that strengthens our feelings of superiority or moral sanctity.

The 20th century was not the century of socialism but of decolonisation, which enabled millions to free themselves from extreme oppression. It might be possible to imagine the 21st century as the century when US hegemony will end. If that happened, another world would really be possible.

It is impossible to read this 2006 instruction not to oppose any Western claims to moral superiority without remembering Obama’s bowing and apology tour, Joe Biden calling Brussels the capital of the Free World, of the Michael Posner criticizing Arizona immigration law in China. Bricmont could not have found more obedient students or dreamt that they would take over the US government so easily and quickly.

Misleading Americans about al Qaeda’s Islamist ideology is a threat to US national security more sever than the one mentioned above as John Brennan seeks to actively disarm America by downplaying the threats posed by Islamists openly waging war against her. In a speech to Center for Strategic and International Studies, he said:

 

The president’s strategy is absolutely clear about the threat we face. Our enemy is not terrorism because terrorism is but a tactic.Our enemy is not terror because terror is a state of mind and, as Americans, we refuse to live in fear.

Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself of one’s community.

Brennan is right that terrorism is a tactic and one way to fight is by refusing to live in fear. Unfortunately, by ignoring repeated Muslims calls for Jihad on the US and doing the bidding of Muslims who do not wish to take a stand against those fighting “the Great Satan” in the name of Islam, Brennan reveals just how frightened he is. The man responsible for keeping us from evil wishes us to behave like those famous three monkeys, sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil.

In other words, instead of protecting us from Muslims extremists, he protects Muslims from the consequences of the vile actions of Muslim extremists thereby diminishing Muslim interest in confronting the evil in their midst and enforcing the view that Muslims who do stand up are traitors. Do note his praise for Muslim for their non existent willingness to stand up to Muslim Jihadists.

 

This is why Muslim leaders around the world have spoken out forcefully and often at great risk to their own lives to reject al-Qaida and violent extremism. And frankly, their condemnations often do not get the recognition they deserve, including from the media.

Misunderstanding the real import of innocent sounding lofty rethoric, we elected Barack Hussein Obama and his co-ideologists and all we can do is do our best to mitigate the damage they are inflicting upon us. Demanding that Brennan go would help that endeavor just as the demand that Alger Hiss leave did.
