Michele Bachmann totally baffles John Brennan during questioning in front of the House Intelligence Committee by asking bizarre questions about armed drone strikes and Benghazi.

First off, Bachmann brought up one of her favorite topics, the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in September 2012. She wanted to know about the White House’s “armed drone strikes” in eastern Libya prior to those attacks last year. 

“Armed drone strikes in Libya?” Brennan asked in seeming disbelief. “I am unknowing of such and would defer to the White House to address your question.” When she pushed him on the issue, Brennan asserted that “the White House doesn’t have a drone capability, responsibility” and said “I don’t know what it is specifically you’re referring to.” 

When she failed to get the answers she was looking for, Bachmann said, “well if we aren’t going to talk about that, we aren’t going to talk about that, but that’s a question I’d like to know.” She moved on, asking Brennan “what is our red line regarding the Iranian nuclear development program?” 

“That clearly is a policy question,” Brennan responded, explaining to Bachmann why he’s not the right person to answer that question. From there, Bachmann went off on a tangent about the various times the United States and U.S. interests have been attacked over the last few decades, expressing her concern that an Iranian nuclear attack could also come as a surprise. 

But the most bizarre moment came at the end of Bachmann’s time when she asked about Iran’s “heavy water reactor.” The CIA men conferred amongst themselves for several seconds before politely informing Bachmann that it would be better to have that discussion in a “closed session.” 

It’s not entirely clear whether Bachmann thought she would be able to extract classified information live on C-SPAN from Brennan and his CIA colleagues, or if she was just using her platform on the committee to air some of things on the international stage that have been bugging her. Either way, it was likely one of the strangest interactions between Congress and the CIA ever caught on camera.

Did you SEE the blank stare on Brennan's face? He had no fucking idea what she was talking about, and THEN she starts bringing up classified information as if she has NO idea that C-Span can be seen by people in other countries. You know, like Iran.

Okay I have two questions,

First how in the HELL does this lunatic get a seat on the House Intelligence Committee?

And two, have you finally had enough Minnesota? Are you finally ready to get rid of her and put somebody with at least two brain cells to rub together in her place?

She is literally beginning to make Sarah Palin look like some kind of genius.
