how much will the CIA take from BushCo?

[frank frankly]

Will the decent patriots in the CIA take this from BushCo?

Will the "dark agents" of the CIA take this from BushCo?

Is George W. Bush the master of the CIA?

only time will tell...

I hope and hope and hope that the good people in the CIA, the wonderful brave patriots in the CIA, will end this nightmare. It must end soon. Things are getting exponential and nearing Armageddon.

I can only hope.

Bush Weighs Overhaul of Intelligence Services

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6558-2004Apr12.html

Aides Say He Will Await 9/11 Panel's Suggestions

By Dana Milbank and Mike Allen

CRAWFORD, Tex., April 12 -- President Bush said Monday that he is contemplating a major overhaul of the nation's intelligence services and scheduled a prime-time news conference for Tuesday to build domestic support for his strategy in Iraq.

Bush, speaking to reporters at his ranch with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at his side, said that "now may be a time to revamp and reform our intelligence services." Aides said he is likely to wait for recommendations, scheduled for this summer, from the independent commission investigating the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

"We look forward to hearing recommendations," Bush said. "We're thinking about that, ourselves, and we look forward to working with the commission."

(snip)

Iraq and the administration's response to threats before the attacks promise to be prominent topics as Bush meets reporters in the East Room at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. By requesting such a visible forum to explain his actions, Bush departed markedly from the past week, in which he has been mostly out of view on his Texas ranch as he endured a stream of criticism about the adequacy of his plans for suppressing an uprising against the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

1. why do you think he is considering an overhaul

they have lost the cia, long time ago... TORA-BORA

peace

2. I'm sure the stalemate protects them both. They probably both have the

goods on the other and they just seem to be circling each other...knowing that if one falls, they both fall.

3. JFK tried overhauling the CIA

It's not a particularly good idea.

[frank frankly]

4. yes he did.

:kick:

[frank frankly]

5. kick

counting down to 8:30

c'mon, fourth estate. we need you.

6. This is what I've been thinking lately...

The CIA is notoriously not nice to Presidents who go against them. ;)

First, Bush leaks one of their own as punishment.

Then, he blames them for Iraq WMDs misintelligence.

Now, he's throwing them under the bus for 9/11.

How much will the CIA take before they screw him somehow?

[frank frankly]

7. maybe we will find out tonight

what is stopping the CIA from telling reporters, off the record, to go after Bush?
