"Politics should never get in the way of national security," - John Brennan.

Then I'll ask Brennan the same questions I've asked every tub-thumping Progressive that wishes to spew nonsense about Iraq...

Mr. Brennan,

What do you think about; S.AMDT.4862 & S.AMDT.4865 in regards to Public Law 107-243 (The Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Iraq)?

What does your boss think about those amendments as well? What do you Dems think about latching on to the antiwar movement, and giving that movement its ethos, pathos and logos in its pursuit of power.

Somehow, Mr. Brennan, I don't think you have a clue, but I'd be interested in your (and every other before mentioned tub-thumper) opinion.

"Politics should never get in the way of national security," wrote John Brennan, the White House's shockingly political deputy national security advisor. His USA Today Op-Ed article last week set off a firestorm inside the Beltway by essentially accusing critics of administration policy of deliberately lying -- "misrepresenting the facts to score political points, instead of coming together to keep us safe" -- and aiding and abetting al-Qaeda: "Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda."

The fight Brennan is asking for is a classic D.C. slugfest, with charges of partisanship and insinuations of unpatriotism....
