A quick retort to John Brennan...

Assistant National Security Advisor John Brennan wrote a peculiar article for USA Today. Sure enough, evil right-wingers came out and demolished him - check out powerlineblog  for example. I don't feel like competing with the big guys - I don't have the time, nor the talent, but I decided to respond to at least one sentence in Johnny's article. Here is what he says: "And the notion that America's counter-terrorism professionals and America's system of justice are unable to handle these murderous miscreants is absurd."

Now, does anyone in his mind shares John's confidence in the ability of "system worked" Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, to combat Al Qaeda "human caused disaster"?  Or maybe in the skills of the terrorist-freeing Eric Holder? Or perhaps the recent  failure of Obama's security apparatus to stop a KNOWN terrorist from boarding the plane and nearly blowing it up makes them feel confident about our security?

I mean, if anything, the hysterical shriek "Don't read me lectures, I am better than anybody else, so shut up, you evil anti-Americans" makes me feel even more nervous. People, who are so unable and unwilling to listen to criticism are destined to fail. And the failure of Obama's security apparatus means the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of people.
