Brennan responds to Cheney: He’s either ‘willfully mischaracterized’ Obama or is ‘ignorant of the facts.’

1. Did you hear that Wallass

[earcandle]

2. It's all distortion. We are genociding people for oil

[Hulk]

5. The corporates....yes! The majority of the public, no.

I won't argue with what you are saying, since the corporatists control the government, but I believe the majority of Americans want the Al Queda chased down and wiped out for our own safety.

[cartach]

6. Only those who believe in the tooth fairy

think that the Al Quaeda can be chased down and wiped out. Vietnam all over again with the added difficulties of wider dispersal of the enemy and their integration into main stream society. The ones who are doing the bombing and other terrorist acts aren't hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan or Pakistan. Those guys are just training or on a rest break.

7. Not so sure. North Viet Nam was backed by China. We must ask who is backing Al Quaeda.

Not to say that there is a military solution - just that the analogy only goes so far.

I agree. It is a hopeless shithole for which there is no viable military solution short of a permanent police state the likes of which would make the ex Soviet Union look like a summer camp.

3. AQ can only be destroyed with open debate and rational listening

Arms and destruction can accomplish nothing. If it IS oil, we need to confront it honestly from the top down. Solutions are available if all the facts are out. Since when did this country become so inflexible? oh, yeah, since Atwater.

4. Good for Brennan!

Dick Cheney is a lier and a loser! The only thing he is interested in is his wealth. . .and increasing it by helping his friends in the defense industry!

8. John Brennan is on the record supporting extrodinary rendition

and "enhanced" interrogation.

I feel like that Poe crow. Sorry.

9. oh OH LEt's GO!
