Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan has had it with the repugican's political games over national security. And, he's been calling them out for it:
Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda. Terrorists are not 100-feet tall. Nor do they deserve the abject fear they seek to instill. They will, however, be dismantled and destroyed, by our military, our intelligence services and our law enforcement community. And the notion that America's counterterrorism professionals and America's system of justice are unable to handle these murderous miscreants is absurd.
The repugican party functions solely on its political motivations -- even when national security is involved. That was the underlying premise of the shrub/Rove years.
Now, if we know one thing about repugicans, they're very, very thin-skinned. And, they completely hyperventilate and overreact when someone busts them. They're not used to being challenged. And, Brennan really let them have it.
So, that means repugicans are in attack mode -- at Brennan (whose job it is to keep us safe.) It's important to see who is saying what -- and where it's being said. It's no real surprise who is pushing the story and where it's being pushed:

On Faux News' Special Report, senior White House correspondent Major Garrett reported that Congressional repugicans "stepped up their calls for President Obama's top counterterrorism advisor, John Brennan, to resign or be fired." Pete Hoekstra: "This guy is poisoning the well. I think the President probably should fire this guy, because he's off-base and inconsistent with how national security issues should be dealt with." Kit Bond "called on Brennan...to resign yesterday and...repeated that, somewhat indirectly, today."
Appearing on Faux News' Special Report, Roll Call's Mort Kondracke contended Brennan "made a serious political mistake when he accused repugicans of aiding Al Qaeda. ... It ought to be just off the table. And he did that toward Republicans and that's not the way you ought to treat the people who oversee the intelligence community." Tucker Carlson, also on Faux News' Special Report, said, "You can't accuse your opponent, simply because they disagree with you, of putting the country at risk. ... This is over the top. And the White House clearly was behind it."
Also appearing on Faux News' Special Report, Charles Krauthammer commented, "The reason the Administration is so defensive is because it's on the wrong side of what is obviously a bad decision it made on Christmas Day."
It's all politics for FAUX and the repugicans.
