2. Would it just hurt them so badly to admit they were wrong.
It's like a slippery slope fest over there. They keep falling lower than anyone imagined...

Inspired Choices for DNI and CIA? »

At first blush Barack Obama has bested both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in his choice of leaders for the intelligence community. Retired Admiral Dennis Blair was named as the Director of National Intelligence and former White House Chief of Staff, Leon Panetta, snagged the Director of the CIA. If you look back at the people that Bill Clinton and George Bush put in charge of the CIA, then the choice of Panetta seems particularly inspired. Why?

The ideal candidate is someone who is smart, who is not looking to feather his or her nest to reap economic benefits, and who understands that the President needs an honest broker. Look at the Clinton choices–Jim Woolsey, John Deutch, and George Tenet. Horrible choices and a terrible legacy. And George Bush did no better–George Tenet, Porter Goss, and Michael Hayden. Hayden is awful because he has perpetuated the militarization of the intelligence community. Goss played politics. And Tenet? Two words. SLAM DUNK! Enough said about that clown.

14. So ungrammatical I can't really figure out what he's trying to say there.
The garbage part isn't connected to any other part of the sentence. Is the garbage in the empty suite? It's not really empty in that case, is it?

If you do get confused, just check the microprinted instructions on the back of your Hawaiian birth certificate.

That's when Obama bans Christianity and forces us all to convert to Islam. Tax changes happen the week after.

17. What are "american oriented" clandestine services?
"The damage already done to the CIA in the Clinton years was far from being cleared up...now this. It will take decades to restablish firm, strong American oriented clandestine and intelligence services after these people are through with it."

It appears that Chimpy was not tough enough, even in 8 years, to clear up the Clinton-induced damage!

I doubt he’ll find much to do. Pretty much everything the CIA does is on a “need to know” basis. He doesn’t know anything, and it needs to stay that way.

The only difference with a Clinton Administration would be Obama as Secretary of State.

I think this is the proof that Obama’s birth certificate is not kosher. Since he was elected, he has had to appoint Clintonista after Clintonista. Hillary and Bill might not have officially won the election, but it sure looks like they will be governing anyway. Only one thing could cause Obama to forfeit his administration to Billary like this and it must be whatever they have on him.

So exactly what does Leon Panetta know about global espionage, intelligence, and terrorism?
Nothing.

Therefore, we're screwed.
