Pro-jihadist John Brennan to head CIA? WND

Exclusive: Pamela Geller says 'Jew-hater' Chuck Hagel is disaster for Defense post

Could you imagine an even more dangerous pick than Chuck Hagel for
secretary of defense? Under Obama, yes. Worse is always what’s next.

President Barack Obama said Monday that he would nominate former
Nebraska Sen. Hagel, a Republican, to be secretary of defense, and his
top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, to head the Central
Intelligence Agency. Astonishing. Obama is doing the full monty.

The president’s CIA pick has called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam,”
arguing that the term “jihadists” should not be used to describe
America’s enemies. During a speech at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as
victims of “political, economic and social forces,” but said that those
plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in
“religious terms.”

Brennan speechifies in Arabic and has equated Muslim terrorists with shoplifters. Lawmakers have called for his firing.

Readers of my website AtlasShrugs.com are long familiar with the
pro-jihadi thug Brennan. If you recall, during the 2008 presidential
election, I ran a number of stories on the breach of Obama’s passport at
the Department of State. It bears noting that Brennan – whom Obama
first appointed to be assistant to the president and deputy national
security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism, in which
capacity he made his notorious and incredible pro-terror remarks, some in Arabic no less, about the beauty of jihad – was connected with the tampering with Obama’s passport. He led the investigation into the breach of Obama’s passport records – the mysterious passport Obama traveled to Pakistan on in 1981.

Quid pro quo?

Back in March 2008, State Department employees were found to have
tampered with the passport files of Barack Hussein Obama. The State
Department launched an investigation into allegations of improper
computer access to Obama’s passport records. The investigation was
focusing on one employee – a contract worker with a company headed by an
adviser to Obama’s presidential campaign (see details here).
We don’t know what was done with the passport information once it was
accessed: Was it changed? Was information removed altogether? Almost
five years later, we still don’t have any answers.

You will also recall that the key witness in the presidential passport-tampering case was murdered. Shot in the head, in his car, in front of his church.

Obama said at the time that these attempts to “tap into people’s
personal records” were “a problem not just for me but for how our
government functions.” Laughable, considering how intrusive his
administration has been and continues to be in accessing private
information.

The one-two punch of Brennan and Hagel is an insult to all free
people. In the Senate, Hagel amassed a significant track record as one
of a hardline hater of Israel who would not affix his name even to the
most innocuous pro-Israel initiative. When all but four senators signed a
pro-Israel statement in 2000, Hagel was one of the holdouts. The next
year, he was again among the few senators – 11 this time – who refused
to add their names to a statement urging George W. Bush not to meet with
Yasser Arafat as long as the Palestinian groups under his control
continued to pursue violence against Israel. In 2005, Hagel, along with
26 other senators, opposed a call to the Palestinian Authority to
disqualify terror groups from participating in elections. And when 12
senators wrote to the European Union in 2006 asking that the EU join the
U.S. in classifying Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, Hagel was
once again one of th
