White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan joined President Barack Obama and the rest of the First Family in Martha’s Vineyard, while the President and his family vacationed. As I wrote in my Friday post on Mr. Brennan, he described the release of Pan Am Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, who was expected to die of terminal cancer three month after his release last year by Scottish authorities, as “unfortunate, inappropriate and wrong.” Overseas press, however, reported in August, that the White House had supported the release of Megrahi.
Mr. Brennan had visited the Washington Times Editorial Board on June 24 as a result of a June 11 Washington Times editorial he objected to. It did not take long for the White House counter-terrorism adviser to lose his temper with our editorial board’s questions regarding what he previously said about individuals who become terrorists (see transcript and video below).
Mr. Brennan cut the meeting short and stormed out of our offices thereafter following a question posed by senior editorial writer Jim Robbins (transcript and video below). Referring to a quote Mr. Brennan said in May, calling jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam,” Mr. Robbins looked to discuss the concept of jihad further with the Obama administration adviser.

"stormed out"? Pretty low-key "storming," though he should have answered the question.
A case of "waaah" on both sides.
James,
Honestly! Lol! If some one were to make a post on this site about God or Jesus Christ you would try to put spin on it!
Did you watch the same video as i watched? Brennan's storming out of this meeting with The Washington Times was not on this video! I do agree that Brennan should have been more forthcoming with his answers instead of trying to put spin as you do as well on the comments he made which were in question.
It is not surprising that John Brennan stormed out of your offices when held to account for his previous remarks.Liberals are used to the MSM covering for them.Shouting,name calling and fleeing the scene are all standard Liberal reactions when losing the debate.A psychologist wrote a book titled,"Liberals are Clinically Nuts."His points are not opinion.There are objectively demonstrable.One point is,"Liberals are spoiled children who never grown up." This point seems to apply very well to John Brennan.
While interesting, this book (which you've mis-titled) has as much credibility as the 2003 study claiming that conservatism was a form of mental illness. In both cases politics overwhelms the science–or in these cases, the social science, which is even less testable than real science.
You're right of coarse about the title of the book.The correct title is,"The Liberal Mind:The Psychological Causes of Political Madness" by Dr. Lyle Rossiter.
His 4 main points are:creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;satisfying infantile claims to entitlement,indulgence and compensation;augmenting primitive feelings of envy;and rejecting the sovereignty of the individual,subordinating him to the will of the government.This dovetails nicely with the Cloward/Spiven Strategy.First,the Liberals use class warfare to get the dependent class to demand Government handouts.Then,when people on welfare begin to view handouts as a right rather than a privilege,lead them to overwhelm government with such excessive demands for more that Government cannot stand.Then the Communists can move in as the "rescuers." By then freedom is gone and the Cloward/Spiven strategy has yielded it's deadly fruit.All this having been made possible by the basic character flaws of Liberals.
James,
The only mental illness is but your own!
You try so hard to present yourself as a educated well read know it all spoiled child!
Earl is correct on this post!
You are totally in error!
As usual you follow the same old techniques of liberals & Progressives! When wrong on the issues simply put spin on the issue with lies!
After holding the comment, "liberals are children who never grow up" up against some liberals that I personally know, the comment is absolutely correct. Each and every one of them were spolied as kids and they remain so in "adulthood" ! It most suredly applies to the Liar in Chief and if his cronies were more vocal I'm certain we could place them in the same category as "spolied children".
How can BO have a counterterrorism expert? BO IS a terrorist.
You're right but it would be a glaring omission not to have someone with that title.Also,having the title doesn't necessarily mean the title holder is actually opposed to terrorism.It would be a very nice cover.
Rhcrest you have told it just as it is. He is a muslim communist terrorist!!!!!!!!
John Brennan is trying to say that there are excuses for some jihads and that there are also peaceful jihads. Both of these ideas are false. Many of the terrorists come from wealthy, privileged families, like Osama bin Ladin. Terror groups are funded by oil-rich Muslims. A jihad is always a physical attack on the enemy.
"If you dig deep enough you'll find he was linked to the Irish Revolutionary Army.Obuma surrounds himself with terrorists Ayers, Dohrn and Wright"
Not to mention Kevin Bacon.
James,
Mr know it all intellectual!
Poor attempt here by you to try & spin this post!
No where in Edard koziol'scomment did he make a reference to Kevin Bacon!
I suspect that the people my comment was aimed at got the joke. I'm not concerned about those who don't get it.
James,
A comedian you are not!
Your response was in poor taste as usual!
