Dept of Defense hires LA Times columnist who belittled terror ‘threat’
The Weekly Standard blog notes
LA Times columnist Rosa Brooks once wrote that al Qaeda was “little more than an obscure group of extremist thugs, well financed and intermittently lethal but relatively limited in their global and regional political pull. On 9/11, they got lucky. . . . Thanks to U.S. policies, al Qaeda has become the vast global threat the administration imagined it to be in 2001.” She’s now headed to Obama’s Defense Department.
Brooks is a Soros cohort: she has been Special Counsel to the President at Soros’s Open Society Institute.
And Brooks worked for Honjou Koh, the pro Sharia lawyer and transnationalist now at the State Department.
She called Cheney and Bush psychos to be dealt with like psychos, referring to their “crimes”.
She is the most radical person to join the Obama revolutionary counsel so far.
This is like bringing Medea Benjamin into the Pentagon, or Michael Moore. (hat tip Amaros)
OBAMA CHOOSES ANOTHER DANGEROUS TRAITOR IN THE ADMINISTRATION RECENT APPOINTMENT AND NO FRIEND OF ISRAEL. (hat tip D’vorah)
WHO IS ROSA BROOKS?
A number of journalists, coping with the industry downturn, have already headed to work in the government.

A Radical in the Defense Department
The appointment of Rosa Brooks to a mid level post in the defense department has largely gone under the radar, however it is one of the most perplexing and radical appointments of the Obama administration. Brooks, most recently an L.A. Times columnist, now heads to the Pentagon.
A number of journalists, coping with the industry downturn, have already headed to work in the government.
Now, LA Times columnist Rosa Brooks — who’s taking a job as an adviser in the Pentagon
In her latest column, Brooks called for a bailout of the newspaper industry. Brooks, like many journalists, was a frequent critic of the Bush administration’s policy on the GWOT. Of course, Brooks criticism goes beyond mere criticism and into the looney conspiracy theories and deranged hate.
For the many Americans who read of Karadzic’s arrest but wondered, “Yes, great — and when will George W. Bush and Dick Cheney face trial for war crimes?” this is something to keep in mind. Karadzic was the leader of a small, unrecognized rogue republic and presided over a genocide — but he evaded justice for more than a decade and still keeps a loyal fan base.
Look at this seditious insanity. Close your eyes and listen: this could be coming from Chavez, Kim Jong Il, Qadafi ….

This coming to the Defense department. Feeling safer?
In her role in the Pentagon, Brooks will have significant security clearance. That means that the proprietor of the sort of lunacy I just linked will have access to more of our secrets than many Congress and Senators.
Brooks quote: “Hamas has fired thousands of unguided Kassam rockets at Israel, but the rockets have killed only a handful of Israelis”. Only a handful of Jews slaughtered. She sounds sad.

In Israel, politicians jockeying for power have launched the most lethal military assault on Palestinian territory in decades. Israel has justified its bombardment of Gaza on the grounds that Hamas broke a fragile, temporary cease-fire. The Israeli government is right to consider Hamas’ rocket attacks on Israeli civilians inexcusable, but the timing of the Israeli military offensive has more to do with politics than anything else.
Adding to the time pressure is U.S. President-elect Barack Obama’s upcoming inauguration. As long as President Bush was in the White House, Israel could count on a U.S. administration that wasn’t merely “supportive” of Israel but blindly, mindlessly so. Obama may be less willing to offer Israel blank checks. Thus this New Year’s military offensive, timed for the crucial window before Israeli elections and Obama’s swearing-in.
In a strictly military sense, Israel will “win” this battle against Hamas. For all its threats and bravado, Hamas is weak, and its weapons — terrorism, homemade rockets — are the weapons of the weak. Since 2001, Hamas has fired thousands of unguided Kassam rockets at Israel, but the rockets have killed only a handful of Israelis.
Israel’s military, in contrast, is one of the most modern and effective in the world (thanks in part to an annual $3 billion in U.S. aid). Israel can easily bottle up the tiny Gaza Strip and its 1.5 million people. On Saturday, the first day of the offensive, Israeli bombs killed at least 180 Palestinians. By Wednesday, the Palestinian death toll exceeded 390.
The Israeli assault may even strengthen Hamas in the longer run and weaken its more moderate secular rival, Fatah. As Israel should know by now (as we all should know), dropping bombs in densely populated areas is a surefire way to radicalize civilians and get them to rally around the home team, however flawed.
So Rosa Brooks is connected to Koh and BOTH are connected to George Soros…..
Soros is connected to Obama……
Soros is in the corner dreaming of becoming KING of the world. Will Obama grant Soros’ wishes?
Not even Republicans are safe from the influence of George Soros!

Bush’s Spectrum 7 gets a bailout from Soros

Response from Romanticpoet:
I agree.
Soros is a money manipulator and it doesn’t matter if you are Republican, Democrat, Independent; Black,White,Yellow,Green……if it means a profit, he will push forward full steam ahead and step on you if necessary. Soros is wanted in France; has a history of shorting against the currency of different countries……and uses his money and influence to bend agendas that benefit him.
Soros’ Quantum Fund is an offshore company and he makes sure that no one works there that is American; this way he is like “teflon” when it comes to taxation. He loves taxes as long as it isn’t his money that is taxed.
Soros is part of the Bildeberg group and there are other notables that are part of the Group.
Republicans AND Democrats……I personally was surprised to see Kathleen Sebelius as an attendee at one of the most recent meetings.
In the end, Soros is a firm believer in pushing the LEFT agenda. He dreams of an Open Society: http://www.soros.org and would be very happy with a ONE WORLD AGENDA.
It has been becoming increasingly clear to me that Obama is a puppet without enough imagination or intelligence to wreak the havoc he has, and that his puppeteer is none other than George Soros. So, now Soros is now firmly integrated into the Pentagon. Is anyone keeping track of what other Cabinet appointments are directly connected?
We can expect a heavy wall of protective censorship around Soros. He can have a web site or youtube video expunged in minutes!
