Green Berets should take over Army some day soon - Jeff Stein

#4  CIA needs an overhaul, and the bureaucrats, fifedom builders and silo making ass-covering risk averse paper-stackers, blanket-folders and power point rangers need to be sent packing - and the politically connected Ivy League types types need to be defenestrated.

Unless he plans to loudly and publicly impale* some of the politically connected desk pilots pour encourager les autres, crack some heads (and break a few spines as well - especially leakers), Gen Petraeus should avoid becoming DCI.


Hercules and the Augean Stables were nothing compared to this. Save reforming the CIA for when he gets elected President. ;-)

*I am speaking Symbolically... I think.

#3  P2k, not to mention GEN Schoomaker, Army Chief of Staff 2003-2007.

#2  Interesting in that just today, a trial balloon went up that Petraeus might be the next Director CIA.

#1  Oh, really. MSM with all those fact checkers and editors seems to have missed that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, 1997-2001, was Special Forces. You don't get much higher than that.
