Obama's Pentagon Official Rosa (America Hating) Brooks Blames U.S. for al-Qaida Attacks
Worked for George Soros, argued for government control of media
She believes al-Qaida was an "obscure group" turned into a massive threat due to U.S. policies.
She's referred to former President Bush as "our torturer in chief" and a "psychotic who need(s) treatment" while comparing Bush's arguments for waging a war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler's use of political propaganda.
She's worked on behalf of George Soros' philanthropic foundation.
Meet Rosa Brooks, the Obama administration's new adviser to Michelle Fluornoy, the undersecretary of defense for policy, a position described as one of the most influential in the Pentagon.
"I prefer to think of (my new position) as my personal government bailout," Brooks wrote in a departing piece at the Los Angeles Times, where she served as a regular columnist.
Brooks' new boss earlier this month briefed Congress on U.S. policy in Pakistan and Afghanistan, two countries for which she has enormous power concerning drafting future military doctrine.
"Brooks will wield an extraordinary degree of influence in helping shape U.S. policy. Her extreme views should therefore be closely scrutinized," wrote Nile Gardiner, a contributor to the London Telegraph's online blog.
Indeed, Brook's recent L.A. Times columns evidence views some may find concerning:
Get "Shut Up, America! How to fight the end of free speech"
In 2007, she labeled al-Qaida as "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-Qaida has become the vast global threat the administration imagined it to be in 2001."
Also that year, she called the surge in Iraqa "feckless plan" that is "too little too late" with "no realistic likelihood that it will lead to an enduring solution in Iraq." The surge was widely credited with helping to stabilize Iraq.
Brooks wrote Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney "should be treated like psychotics who need treatment. … Impeachment's not the solution to psychosis, no matter how flagrant."
She also penned a column about Bush entitled "Our torturer-in-chief" in which she inferred attacks against the U.S. were a result of torture policies.
"Today, the chickens are coming home to roost," she fumed, but "the word 'accountability' isn't in the White House dictionary."
In another column she referred to the regimes of Iran and North Korea as "foreign authoritarians," while calling the Bush administration a "homegrown" authoritarian regime.
In a column last month, Brooks claimed the Bush administration's Office of Legal Counsel arguments for prosecuting the war on terrorism were similar to tactics used by Hitler.
According to Brooks: "How did such dangerously bad legal memos ever get taken seriously in the first place? One answer is suggested by the so-called Big Lie theory of political propaganda, articulated most infamously by Adolf Hitler. Ordinary people 'more readily fall victim to the big lie than the small lie,' wrote Hitler."

The only way it can be even remotely America's fault is linking it to Clinton for not taking out Bin Laden when he had the chance. Any attacks in the next 4 years can be attributed to Barack Obama Bin Barry Soetoro because of his extensive showing of his weakness to the world. Don't confuse the military's strength wit Obama's weakness.

This woman needs to be slapped upside the head with the flat side of an axe handle. It may actually knock some form of sense into that mush she passes off as a brain. What do you expect from a billy jeff/obambozo droid?

She is an extremist and an America basher. What is scary is that her philosophy fits her right into the Obama administration.

Where in the heck did she learn this "let's hate America and all she stands for?" ideology? I'm tired of having no one in our corner.

This bullshit all started on Carter's watch, he played pacifist appeaser while 52 U.S. diplomats were held hostage for 444 days in a declaration of war against the United States by Iran. As much as I respect Reagan there was no decisive action taken when in October of 1983 Hezbollah bombed the UN forces 79 french servicemen and 220 U.S. Marines.
We've been making concessions ever since, Bush would have too if not for a direct attack on the homeland, so the current state of affairs lies directly at the feet of both political parties. Communists have taken over the Democrats and sadly we have Lieberman(McCain) Republicans in our corner. Isn't it about time for a third party for America?

Bob A., I agree, Obama's weakness and his
being a total coward as a man has nothing
to do with our awesome military.

Tom, your right, Obama or Soros has hand
picked each one in his administration
very carefully.
Posted by: Wild Thing at April 22, 2009 12:10 AM
Lynn, me too, and we sure have an abundance
of rino's and they are not in our corner
at all.
The few out there we do have had better
start to really make noise now and not
wait. We are taking mental notes on who
stands up to Obama and his people.

Jack, your right, if they keep giving a
voice to the likes of McCain and his
vile daughter Meghan that has been
blasting conservatives non stop it is
going to be the Rino National Party and
not the Republican National Party.
No conservatives will be allowed and why
would we want it anyway with it run by
rino's.
