Brennan: 20% Recidivism Rate of Captured Terrorists ‘Isn’t That Bad’

Fox News: Gen. Jim Jones defended [President Obama's national security adviser John] Brennan, the president's top counterterrorism adviser, after Brennan on Saturday compared the U.S. criminal recidivism rate of 50 percent to the one in five terrorists who are released to other nations and return to the battlefield. "Twenty percent isn't that bad," Brennan said.

What’s the recidivism rate for Obamunists who have been detoxed from liberal Kool-Aid?

NEOFREEDOM   February 14th, 2010 - 4:37 pm

ISLAM = ENEMY .

Passport please   February 14th, 2010 - 4:44 pm

Isn’t Jones the same idiot who said “Diversity in the Army is it’s strength?”. Yeah (eyes rolling).

Snailmailtrucker   February 14th, 2010 - 4:47 pm

He’d think it was bad if one of those 20% KILLED his KID!
Freakin Morons, do they understand that 0% is better?
(probably not!)

suvrec   February 14th, 2010 - 4:48 pm

!% is 100% too much, once a terrorist is shot recidivism is 0%

America WAKE up, Islam wants to be world wide only religion, and in truth there is only one religion that should be and that is Christianity

Terry   February 14th, 2010 - 4:50 pm

Our kidnapping them is what makes them in to terrorists. Some of you advocates of a “war on terror” should maybe be kidnapped and taken to a foreign country – see how YOU like it.

Ex Enron Accountant   February 14th, 2010 - 4:52 pm

We used to come up with some right incredible statistics, through Terminal Inaccuaracy to down right falsehoods.
The General should have been working for us !
20 % of something out of conrol at the time would have meant many more of us could have escaped to the Caymen Islands and enjoyed much more time with our money !
Lesson to be learnt don’t you think ?
As for terrorists who aren’t bad (80%), well they are cured !
However, there is no way that health care will be provided for the remainder left with a brain intact and have recidivism on their minds.

Here it comes–leading Americans to think that these Petri-dish rejects should get civil trials by comparing the recidivism rate of people who want to kill us all with people who may just be incarcerated for car theft–amazing–and you Obama-worshippers think WE’RE morons. Your opinions officially mean nothing, you’re too stupid to take out in public. Please stay locked up in your mothers’ basements, sitting in front of your computers and wankin’ to the oldies.

I keep thinking Obama has scraped the bottom of the barrel to find these appointees. I am sure it isn’t accidental either.

Terry’s comment:
“Our kidnapping them is what makes them in to terrorists. Some of you advocates of a “war on terror” should maybe be kidnapped and taken to a foreign country – see how YOU like it.”

Perhaps you should visit this new Islamic loving place they call Libtardistan. I am sure no one will try to make you into a terrorist. However, if you do have a propensity to kill westerners, I hope your vest detonates prematurely.

mike gino   February 14th, 2010 - 5:51 pm

General Jones should redeem his honor by resigning immmediately. He’s starting to act like an Army guy.

Cujo47   February 14th, 2010 - 5:58 pm

He certainly came up with some doosies. Holder, Brennen, Napolitano, Emanuel. No wonder we are in the shape we are in. These people are advising and scripting his teleprompter. I guess he was looking for people dumber than himself so he would appear more brilliant. Islam is our enemy and until he admits that we are going no where.

Stanley   February 14th, 2010 - 6:05 pm

Lets see 20% in my business would get me terminated. So I think it is time to termiante obama and his staff.

LoneSurvivor   February 14th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

I’m wondering if Brennan or the General would change their mind(s) if they or their loved ones were on a plane with 200= other people when those 20% strike again?

Why does this mentality put me in mind of a scene from “Mars Attacks”?

President Dale: “I want the people to know that they still have 2 out of 3 branches of the government working for them, and that ain’t bad.”

4aRepublic   February 14th, 2010 - 6:37 pm

Brennan must be trying to use the old 80%-20% rule. 80% of the terrorists want to return to the “battlefield”, but only 20% succeed and are caught, again. What a genius.

john   February 14th, 2010 - 6:41 pm

Not that bad if they were shoplifters — but since they are ideological killers who would saw your head off with a knife it is despicable you would consider releasing any of them with a 20% rate. With 400 prisoners that means 80 of them will kill again, and probably more than once.

So what he’s really saying is the lives of 80 people are worth his not having to deal with the it anymore, and that the crimes they’ve already committed should now be pardoned away so Obama doesn’t have to deal with messy business.

I say make liberals be their roommates in a halfway house for one year before they are sent back to Somalia. If a liberal dies, it’s for their cause. I’m tired of them making others die for their mistakes and Utopian nonsense.

mojo   February 14th, 2010 - 6:49 pm

I suppose Roosevelt made a huge mistake, and prolonged the WWII, by not turning loose all German prisoners in 1943 – two years before the war ended? They actually had terrorist “rehab” in Saudi Arabia. What kind of liberal clap-trap is this?

We can’t fire Obama, but we can demand he fire the idiots in his administration. It’s overdue.

RobbieK   February 14th, 2010 - 7:10 pm

Of course my post won’t appear, but 20% is an idiotic comment. Brennan needs to go this week!

thefedupamerican   February 14th, 2010 - 7:30 pm

Given the number of calls that there have been for Obama to rid his administrations of John Brennan, you’d think Brennan would be smart enough to lay low instead of appearing on camera making ridiculous statements. “20% isn’t bad?” I hope you were joking John. 20% recidivism hugely increases the danger to the American People. Grow up, learn your job or get out! http://www.thefedupamerican.com

jujubee   February 14th, 2010 - 7:32 pm

@ Terry (yet again)

So osama was kidnapped and that’s why he pushed this whole al-qaeda master plan? How about those other “peace loving” muslims on the planes that snuffed out over 3000 lives… were they actually kidnapped on those planes, thus making them angry in flight to takeover and crash them? I hope someday, you find yourself in the hands of these “peaceful” terrorists that you have put your faith in. Their/your god is abbadon (allah) and he will not have mercy on you.

Seriously, the troll dope you smoke must truly be some heavy stuff.

You are such a clueless goon. Everyone but the enemy is the enemy to you and your ilk.

Bill Smith   February 14th, 2010 - 7:36 pm

And the recidivism rate of nazi and Japanese PRISONERS OF WAR during WWII was what again?

The more these Obamunists talk, the more they stimulate opposition from Americans.

ScottBTampa   February 14th, 2010 - 8:40 pm

It’s funny: 20% recidivist rate is “ok” by Brennan and the Obama administration: less than 10%, so-called “right-wing” activists commit any kind of violence and they warrant a special study and warning by Homeland Security as the most dangerous threat to our nation.

I’d love it if, for one day, the Dems/Libs/Media would actually express the anger toward Islamic murderers as they do anyone right of center in America. They hate Republicans, conservatives, Envangelical Christians and Israeli Jews far more than they do Muslim terrorists.

Another funny thing: they want to reach out, understand and reason with Islamic murderers: they demonize, attack and marginalize anyone who dares call themselves conservatives.

Paul   February 14th, 2010 - 8:48 pm

20% error is OK…if your guessing weights in a side show at a circus. Brennen is in the wrong job. Where does OB find these guys anyway.

temple62   February 14th, 2010 - 8:58 pm

Is it true Brennan was “vetted” at a job fair for displaced bottom feeders? This person is one of the sorriest excuses I have ever seen for a security position. Is SEIU on his resume’s reference list? Brennan and Obama are simply unacceptable for any government office and should be playing soccer in the fields of Kenya!

Sapper   February 14th, 2010 - 10:16 pm

If there was ever a question that Brennan treated this as a vast criminal matter instead of a war, then these comments should prove it.

He needs to be canned!

And Jones needs to quite carrying the water for these amateurs!

Everett Hamilton   February 14th, 2010 - 10:33 pm

These elitists are so predictable. What does domestic recividism have to do with terrorism? Another argument without an argument. They play this game over and over and have gotten away with it because they are convinced that Americans are too stupid to see thru their word games.

What a shame that these two men represent the top echelon of our security.

bo peep   February 14th, 2010 - 10:42 pm

Dude, they’re terrorists — but, even if you insist on treating them as criminals….

Why insist on letting killers out of jail until they’ve done their 20+ year time? Why are you pardoning them if they’re criminals? Shouldn’t they be doing their hard time? Is he saying these slime should get special breaks over our own home grown street killer slime?

Terrorists and street killers should stay behind bars — no pardons or special privileges for being a terrorist.

LoneSurvivor   February 14th, 2010 - 11:45 pm

So, 20% are ‘repeaters’.

Let’s do a little math, shall we?

100 terrorists released into the wild … 20 boomerang back to their wicked ways (meanwhile the 80 are being vetted by the head jihadis before letting them back into the club).

So, on 9/11 there was roughly 20 involved (give or take the one who missed his flight), and 3000 people died.

Now, take that same 20 and move into math ’sets’ …

One bomber per plane (as in Flight 253 to Detroit 12/25/09) that’s 20 sets of roughly 300 people.

The answer is 6000 people, and that’s not factoring in a variable of one or more of those ’sets’ falling to earth and taking out a neighborhood, or buildings, busy highway … or a school.

Yeah, Mr. Brennan, acceptable losses I guess.

Meanwhile, the AP and CNN were all appalled 12 ‘civilians’ (AKA, Taliban/alQ human shields) were killed by one of our ‘mis-aimed’ rockets by our Marines during the big operation going on over in Afghanistan right now??? And we’ve decided not to use said rockets anymore. God help us. 3 more years is a damm long time to go.

‘We have to be right every time the terrorists only have to be right once.’

YIKES!   February 15th, 2010 - 12:05 am

“isnt THAT bad…” but still BAD, right?
thanks for clearing that up.
(the more they try to coverup for obama the better confirmation they give to obama’s poor performance.)

Guest   February 15th, 2010 - 12:32 am

There is a way to make it 0%. Send them to their happy humping grounds stat. If they need any white raisins, Emir D’bama can provide them.

And not a single ‘reporter’ in the lame stream media has the intergrity to suggest, to his face, that the american people find his opinion totally unacceptable. oh well, back to the prolofeed and soma.

renojmc   February 15th, 2010 - 6:53 am

What a moron. Another Obama regime hack.

FastFacts   February 15th, 2010 - 6:57 am

That’s right 20% more explosions and terrorists acts is not bad, 20% more deaths from bombings is not that bad. The fact is that those 20%, unlike the criminals that come out, will teach others about our system and train others to go out and kill more. That 20%, say 20 terrorists, for lack of a number, will teach 30 each, that will produce 600 new terrorists. Yeah that is just like our criminals that return to robberies and drug dealing, which is where most of those go to.

Gosh, if 4 of 5 aren’t going to commit terrorist acts any more, why don’t we just not capture them in the first place? Obama’s gang will irrationalize anything attempting to make Obama look less ignorant and weak. Too bad it isn’t working.
