| Departing Klingon chief wants his legacy to be the work he did for LGBTQ community |

| [Wash Times] When Sen. Kamala Harris grilled President Elect Donald Trump’s pick for CIA Director Mike Pompeo last week, she demanded to know his personal views on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender movement. Never mind, the growing jihadist threat, how the agency missed Russia’s invasion of Crimea, the potential of a nuclear-enabled North Korea, and the growing expansion of China in the South China Sea. Altogether, it was a bizarre exchange. But apparently, she was onto something. In a wide-ranging interview with the Wall Street Journal, departing CIA Director John Brennan said he wants his legacy to be the work he did to advance the LGBTQ community. "During his tenure he has put particular emphasis on promoting the interests of gay, lesbian, and transgender officers," the Journal reported. "He was the first CIA director to attend an annual social gathering of LGBTQ employees and has been known to wear a rainbow lanyard around the office as a symbol of solidarity. For Mr. Brennan, who said his perspective was informed by growing up ’a white male from New Jersey,’ diversity of backgrounds leads to better analysis, which in his estimation can prevent intelligence disasters," the Journal said. |

| #7 CIA missed the fall of the Soviet Union along with many other noteworthy items during my lifetime. I really hope their successes are being kept secret because the visible track record stinks. |

| #5 Maybe I'm just old school, but I would have gone with something like kept America safe, prosecuted her enemies to the ends of the earth, or even just didn't bomb any Chinese embassies. But then I'm not wangling for a phony-baloney job post 20-Jan. |

| #2 Obama's NASA task was the environment and global warming. And where was Ambassador Stevens in all of this? Naaaah, they wouldn't do that. In the 1990s, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi began to enact "purification" laws designed to enforce a harsh view of Islamic law on the population. Libyan courts were given the power to use amputation, flogging and other cruel punishments against persons found to be violating traditional Islamic morality. Link |

| #1 Never mind, the growing jihadist threat, how the agency missed Russia’s invasion of Crimea, the potential of a nuclear-enabled North Korea, and the growing expansion of China in the South China Sea. Altogether, it was a bizarre exchange. Intelligence collection, nor any of the vital concerns listed in the above para were never his primary mission as directed by Obama. He has boldly and spitefully articulated his goals and mission. Hat tip to kriddell@washingtontimes.com (author) for outing this odious Tsetse fly. His lifestage is not nearly complete. He will require many more bloodfills. Keep an eye on the bastid ! |
