Ralph Peters Blasts Susan Rice’s Terrorism Speech: ‘Grab-Bag of Nonsense’

CARLSON: "According to national security adviser Susan Rice, national security adviser Susan Rice, you are part of the problem hyping this ISIS threat in the media. You buy that?"

PETERS: "Well, a Fox News is responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, black death and the Holocaust. Just get over it, dude. We have to accept that. Now, I did listen to, my God, to Rice's  high school valedictorian speech to the Rotary Club delivery at Brookings where there is, you know, this internal love fest with Brookings which, by the way, takes a lotta money from the Qataris in the Middle East. Yet, that gives you objectivity. But I was appalled. That was not a national security strategy she presented. It was a much of nonsense about global social engineering and security was at least to it. It was a grab-bag of nonsense to appeal to various constituencies. But what really ticks me off is our national security strategy needs to be serious. These are serious times. Serious, serious times."

CARLSON: "Yes."

PETERS: "And yes, ISIS is serious. And instead it was a bunch of bumper-sticker slogans and then you get -- in Washington, Tucker, you know this well --  Washington governs in itself with devo word at the moment. We hear all sorts of nonsense such as, well, there is no military solution to anything. Well, sometimes in human history the only solution's been military and I suspect that's going to be our way in the Middle East. You hear, 'Oh, we can't play whack-a-mole fighting terrorists.' Well, if you don't wanna play whack-a-mole until wherever you find them, you lose. But the one that's in the evolving moment, it takes me back to high school and reading Camus and [indecipherable] -- existential. It's not an existential threat. So we don't worry about Islamic state terrorism, it's not an existential threat. Why people love those buzzwords? Well, let's look at this: how many existential threats has United States faced? An existential threat to me would be it would wipe out the population. We never faced that kind of threat. We still have to fight wars. We did face an existential threat to our government being during the Civil War, that's as close as we came. Imperial Japan when it attacked Pearl Harbor did not pose an existential threat to the United States of America."
