The Efficacy and Ethics of U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy - John Brennan [View all] Bolo Boffin May 2012 OP

Sorry, y'all lost me a long time ago. DCKit May 2012 #1

Don't you know the boys were terrorists disguised as children? Hope coalition_unwilling May 2012 #34

I would expect nothing different from a murderer gratuitous May 2012 #2

"why the victims didn't deserve any consideration" Bolo Boffin May 2012 #3

It's right there gratuitous May 2012 #4

Nothing you pointed out said innocent victims deserve no consideration, which is what I asked. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #5

Brennan is a liar and can't be trusted. morningfog May 2012 #6

Brennan is the source for all the information we've been discussing. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #7

He is admitting to deaths because his lies were exposed. He is a fraud. morningfog May 2012 #8

He is standing by his statement from June 29, 2011. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #11

He knew it was false at the time he made it. His little dance was not impressive. morningfog May 2012 #20

We've established that this is what you think. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #21

Here: morningfog May 2012 #24

Three of your links are outside the time frame Brennan specified. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #26

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Too funny. I'm done with your pimping for propaganda. morningfog May 2012 #27

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That Eichmann Brennan coalition_unwilling May 2012 #35

Proportionality? What tripe. Vattel May 2012 #9

You use quotation marks, but I fail to find that quote in his remarks. n/t Bolo Boffin May 2012 #12

It was not a quote (obviously). Vattel May 2012 #14

Obviously, because Brennan expresses exactly the opposite as I quoted in Post 3. n/t Bolo Boffin May 2012 #15

I'm not sure I see your point. Vattel May 2012 #16

My point is that you manufactured a hideous position to paint Brennan as worse than he is. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #17

Nonsense. You missed the point of my snarky imaginary quote. Vattel May 2012 #22

"My prediction: you will never see him seriously discussing that issue." Bolo Boffin May 2012 #23

Minimizing deaths relative to other military strategies is a different issue. Vattel May 2012 #33

This is how I understand proportionality. From the ICRC: Bolo Boffin May 2012 #36

That is proportonality as legally defined. Vattel May 2012 #60

Why isn't this murderer in the dock instead of talking about ethics? Tierra_y_Libertad May 2012 #10

"he does sparkle at blaming the victims" -- I didn't see this. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #13

Great. I look forward to the installments EFerrari May 2012 #18

Brennan opposed waterboarding. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #19

Are you Brennan's PR rep? morningfog May 2012 #25

No. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #28

I am interested in an honest discussion, which neither you nor Brennan seem capable of. morningfog May 2012 #29

I'm quite capable of an honest, respectful discussion. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #30

No, he did not. EFerrari May 2012 #31

Yes, he did, as your own link to Greenwald states. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #39

Everybody on DU needs to know this lying sack of shit Brennan coalition_unwilling May 2012 #37

"back in the late 90s, early 00s." Bolo Boffin May 2012 #40

Do you know how to read? Tenet was his coalition_unwilling May 2012 #41

I do know how to read. Both Tenet and Brennan got their jobs under Clinton, right? n/t Bolo Boffin May 2012 #44

What possible difference could it make who gave those coalition_unwilling May 2012 #61

And who is going to enforce these rules? JDPriestly May 2012 #42

We are. And according to Brennan, this administration is. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #46

So comforting whatchamacallit May 2012 #48

You say the intelligence is untested. Does that mean it actually is? n/t Bolo Boffin May 2012 #49

It means whatchamacallit May 2012 #50

OK, that's what you think is going on. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #52

Saying I have an "affinity with the soulless" is insulting and over the top. Bolo Boffin May 2012 #55

Yes that must be it whatchamacallit May 2012 #56

Perhaps you could start another thread about your belief that Osama bin Laden isn't dead Bolo Boffin May 2012 #57

I don't know what to believe whatchamacallit May 2012 #58

Feel free to discuss whether bin Laden is dead or not in another thread. n/t Bolo Boffin May 2012 #59

Excuses. Excuses. I am not convinced. JDPriestly May 2012 #62

Only you would use the words of a POS Bush Tool to justify our crimes whatchamacallit May 2012 #43

Brennan was first hired under the Clinton administration, right? Bolo Boffin May 2012 #47

Clinton's fuck-ups don't matter whatchamacallit May 2012 #51
