#1 Hello CIA. It's about your TV ad. My name is Felix Dzerzhinsky...

#2 No wonder DoD runs its own intelligence service.

#3 Like the OSS used to recruit in Nazi Bier Halls. Or not. Hey CIA, what about all the native Arabic speaking Christian and other nonmuslim refugees in the US who have a stake in actually winning?

#4 "Are you up to the challenge of achieving our mission abroad?"

Quite ironic. Probably the same line used by the jihadists to get them to move to ~~infiltrate~~ immigrate to the States. Note to Klingons: Please order lots of extra graph paper, oil up all of the spare polygraph machines, and vacuum the prayer room. The new recruits are inbound.

#5 We are holding a certified check, in your name, for a substantial amount - sounds like one of those let's lure a suspect gigs. heh

#6 C.I.A.? Shouldn't this be M.I.A. for "Muslims In Action" instead of "Christians In Action?"

#7 Please order lots of extra graph paper, oil up all of the spare polygraph machines

Doesn't matter. The machines only measure stress when you lie, and there's nothing wrong with a Muslim lying to an infidel.

#8 Yemenite Jews speak Arabic, Persian Jews speak Farsi. There are lots of the latter in this country, some of the former, although the Arabic-speaking Yemenite Jews are probably older generation, unlike the Persians. (The Jews for some reason kept the Persian appellation, while the rest plumped for calling themselves Iranian. Perhaps one of the Rantburgers will have some idea why, but I don't.)

#9 He recently lamented the fact that...just 22 per cent come from minorities.

Well, I'm glad that the layers of fact-checkers in the Times were able to come up with the important contextual point that the "minority" (i.e. "non-white") population of the US weighs in at 26%. (WARNING!: Wikipedia! ) Therefore the CIA is actually doing pretty well in that regard.

#10 The USDOD-INTEL teaches a man Russian + German to fight the Cold War, or to meet former KGB[FSB] Babe ANNA LONGINOVA etc., thusly of course they send you to IRAN-CONTRA + AFGHANISTAN.

CLEARLY .....But I digress.
