#1 This is a result of the rot I told you all about long ago.

CYA behavior, empire building and plitical toadying are how these people got ahead under Bush I and Clinton. They are why wer hit aspririn factories, ineffective cruise missles on empty camps, the Cole, 9/11. The list goes on and on while the ass coverers and political operatives (Democrats) chew up the agency's resoruces in their attempts to trash Bush so they can preserve their jobs and cold-war central-managed top-down risk averse bumbling bullcrap.

Disband the CIA, and parcel its functions to NSA, NRO and DIA, and establish a new HUMINT agency. Break up the cabals in the CIA before they destroy our nation in their selfishness.

#3 OS -- glad you popped in. I do believe this is going on. My question. Why are these people doing this? Is there something about power that I just don't understand? Do they so think the Repub are so wrong, that it is their duty to do this? Or, is it a money issue, or just simply, a power question?

If you can't answer, I do understand. Thanks for staying close to us.. I always feel much better, seeing your name!

#4 What about the SSB and Cambone? CIA is a clearing House now, a phone in a dusty room in a cardboard box. The SSB will be providing the useful intell.

Actionable intell and inside lines are not dependable at CIA. That is just to keep some boys busy. Someone else is doing the real work. CIA is just what's in the window, not the stock.

The Spooks really are spooks. CIA is a dummy in the window.

#5 The DemoLeft will vote for it a'fore voting against it afore voting .... afore voting .... afore voting ........................@ eternal perpetual wafflins. Worse to worse, Lefties are their own biggest [self] justification for Communism, Totalitarianism, and Policratism/Politicism, etal. - can't = won't trust themselves, let alone anyone + everyone else, to get a glass of water or make simple toast bread, etc!? Need a lawyer to see a lawyer, and sworn affidavits to use the restroom, etc.

#6 It was clear who'd won when Goss left.

Bush's problem is that he genuinely believes there is good in everyone, even Democrats. This is demonstrably false, but he believes it anyway. So he trusts them. And they kick his teeth in. And he just keeps trusting them.

#7 You said, it, Iblis. I kinda doubt that the trust is at the same level after getting burned by obvious adversaries. In other cases, such as Norm Mineta, he is the very embodiment of perfect loyalty - for better or worse.

Sometimes it makes me want to scream... then other times, such as believing in and sticking with Bolton, I love the guy.
