john brennan is the top counter-terrorism advisor to president
nobama that he actually went ahead of the c_i_a_ now for the first term
and president while not wanna nominated for that bag two thousand nine
but uh... progressive opponents of uh...
brennan pushed back because he was actually that's
and deputy there
in head of the c_i_a_
doors only watch
nine under george w bush he defended torture
back he says he wasn't involved
i know i'm sure you want
but in two thousand seven is a very strong quote by him say
business tactics we needed to use and by the way these guys were terrorists who
did not eleven they killed three dozen emeritus citizens
basically saying they had it coming
so that was troubling any supported a lot of the bush administration
uh... principles on the war on terror which were
in a rendition that all the dark side stuff but
dick cheney kept talking about so why in the world would you pick back up well
that's because we didn't know that the time
bussell president obama does
day-in and day out he's a guy who is the
strongest right where we have okay great i get the head of the d_e_a_ is a former
bush appointee
who's a radical right winger
that's why they've done all those drug dispenser is and i need a hundred
examples where pratt is a great example that but now
four years later
says all bahamas gotten all the democrats of so-called progressives or
liberals the bow their heads
uh... and he was this top character as an advisor
well he says now i am not nominated to be the c_i_a_ and what do the rest of
democrats do
yeltsin john brennan we're always in favor of job
as usual grand prix glenn greenwald's attorney or real about this and i just
want to quote on 'cause is poisoned for abuses
quote the very idea that someone should be disqualified from the service no bomb
administration because of involvement and support for extremist bush terrorism
policies seems quaint and obsolete
given the great continuity between bush and obama on these issues
or for that hurts but it's true
you know there was justice for the one st louis about how we have continued and
in fact we've increased
the rendition program
that bush used to run
and liberals like president obama is this a work outrageous the warrantless
wiretapping
there caller said he could not believe any president would break the law in
that fashion
matter holder is in charge of warrantless wiretapping is that there
are any general analyst goes on and on
obama s taken almost
all of the palm of bush policies and by the way the one policy supposed to be
against
was torture now of course the labor got punished for that
you look forward but not backward
also when someone is rendition to another country oftentimes they are
torture
so he's not exactly against all torturing either
but greenwald makes a good point like after bushido obama has been the same
it you realize it makes perfect sense that obon would pick bushes main guy on
the war on terror brennan
because that's the policies he doubts
glenn continues
but it is a merely a symptom or bombers on extremism in these areas knock-offs
this constituted will continue with or without brennan because
they are rather obviously
or bhot mis for for politics
elbows are being tracked it's not like
brenna says hey you know what uh... meaning we should
delete wrong strikes
and on
people who don't even know
that main thing that brendon has argued for anxiety for many the ball policies
about one of the main case is known for his r_u_ four signatures trucks
again those of the drone strikes where we don't know who the target swelling
and know that looks like there some activity that might be related to a
terrorist or a built-in or anyone with a weapon
which is a high percentage of people in yemen in pakistan who cares a spot
and that is
indian has some more
it's one thing you know intro strike on actual party december that guy's number
seventeen i don't get it was a summit and so i think it's a and now they're
pakistanis header
that's what brandon stands for
and had what i love his reading then you're kleinman spoke about this evil
killer capture
and he's not against any of these has this report the facts in fact i've had a
conversation with them
and he's gotten used to all this is being
what you're supposed to do
but when you read his account of it
brennan those the same trick everytime
uh... man
president obama
you know i'm a catholic i got a lot of moral issues with this and i'm really
torn up about inside anyway let's push them out
an obama loves that because he wants a push the button
but he wants to feel like they had out
man
guy that was a tough moral issue we really put
couple of minutes applauded that out
so he's like all brennan now god
to spare it
foreign policy within the administration
by all these accounts ok because our parapro
gently kill people we don't even know about
now you write this is philip
i have a u_s_ citizen should we execute on a truck all man brennan's torn about
that one too
but guess what
he both yes as fotos oboe
greenlaw continues is a perfect illustration of old mama legacy that a
person who was unintelligible as a c_i_a_ chief in two thousand eight
because of the support for bush is most radical policies
not only obama's choice for the same position now
but one counter very little resistance on it's a great point
that's where the democrats bow their heads and they go
well if all bamadoro signature strikes a no bomb it does
renditions of obama does warrantless wiretapping
i was being too
surveyed what a wonderful swell prayer progressive position
well agree was says
within this change
one finds one of the most significant aspects of the obama presidents
his conversion opal were once highly contentious rightwing policies
into harmonious dogma
of the d_c_ bipartisan consensus
all these points were devastating but that's the most devastating
because
before it was radical when bush did
at least half the country and
one of the major political parties were opposed to it
now that obama is doing in everybody bows her head
everybody grease democrats and republicans
who cares about people's rights
we will do indefinite detentions and now with the national defense authorization
act
possibly of u_s_ citizens on u_s_ soil
we'll take away your rights your fourth amendment rights through warrantless
wiretapping and although other abuses
and it will not be frowned upon
as brennan is nominated to be the head of the c_i_a_ and will certainly be
confirmed
is celebrate
this is world bombers brought
if you don't know any of this you wonder why are these
why did they heal bomb us so much
we don't feel bomb and we just telling you what he did right
and i'd argued form back in two thousand eight and i voted for
i don't hate the guy was she knew much better
from time to time i'm foolish enough
i have a tiny little hope
and then that hope is being hymie every single time
this is what he does
this is what he stands for
usual nobody's works
and brennan as one of his top works
