irmcvet971 - You need to educate yourself, learn how to spell, and learn the definition of the word "facist" which you love to use. The liberal talking points that you have been spewing for the last couple of months are played out youngster. Besides it really reveals just how much of a d*u*m*b*f*u*c*k you really are! LMAO at you pal!

And you are educating someone on how to argue and debate? Your ad hominem attacks are nearly always filled some kind of reference to fascism, Nazism, and end with Sieg Heil and LOL. Nobody can learn much about debating from you...what they can learn is how to prepare shallow, accusatory, personal attacks not underpinned by fact. You Sir, stink at debates. you are however very well versed at spewing bile, bias, bombast,and bitterness.

Okay so you don''t like me.. what does that have to do with the issue? SIEG HEIL Y''all.

Its good to have a civilian in control of the CIA. Americans always have to worry that this rogue spy agency just might try to pull off a coup and establish military, fascist rule in this country. I civilian in charge makes that more difficult.

Slightly Paranoid?

You poor 6th grade drop out! You folks are so embarrassing! It''s called HISTORY and is FAR from being Paranoid. The CIA has a long and sometimes dark history of such things.... PLEASE get an education...stop embarrassing yourself and your country! SIEG HEIL Y''all.

It doesn''t matter who the director is. The agency is so hidebound, bureaucratic, slow, and recalcitrant to change--you could Mickey Mouse in there and still get the same result. Quit worrying about who is in charge, the result will always be the same. He will just go and get his trench coat, be fed what he needs to know, and muddle throught it like every other cabinet appointee. The goverment machine will roll him over.

I don''''t care if your a dem or a republican. This pick is dangerous. THis is really an awful decision and the first sign of the fact that we elected a guy with zero foreign policy experience

Posted by jedi23231 at 06:45 AM : Jan 06, 2009

Well MAYBE, if you had any creditability left AND you knew how to talk to and debate your fellow citizens, instead of the same tired old fascist garbage, you would have a point. As it stands who in their right mind listens to any of you fascist? WHO??

Aw c''''mon, give him a chance. Obama and almost all of his other cabinet choices are either caught up in a corruption investigation, or are totally inexperienced or unfit to do the jobs he chose them to do, so what''''s the difference? This is going to be great watching the implosion of the democratic party over the next four years. At this point, I would be very surprised if Obama makes it to the end of his term before Washington kicks his sorry a$$ back to Chicago.

Posted by theonesucks at 05:23 AM : Jan 06, 2009

ROFLMAO Now YOU have been playing with that Magic Swastika again haven''t You?? ROFLMAO WHO in the Obama Administration is under investigation? Who in the Obama Administration is another Gonzo or Brownie? You poor fascist can''t seem to get over it but YOU are NO LONGER relevant!! You''re "Hate them because I call them a Liberal" line just isn''t working for you anymore and, being a fascist, YOU lack the mental ability to come up with anything better. Come on! You can admit it!! Sieg Heil Y''all. LOL

Good.

Maybe he''ll have a chance at ridding the CIA of terrorists and drug traffickers.

Or even better...disband it completely.

The government is always saying that "unmanned drones" are killing terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Who do they think they"re fooling ?

That was Leon Panetta piloting these small aircraft and taking out those terrorists in top secret action deep behind enemy lines.

Of course they couldn"t reveal his identity. They don"t want another Valerie Plame outing scandal.

"Leon Panetta... clearly isn"t someone with much hands-on national security or intelligence experience"

They don"t know that.

He"s probably been doing a lot of top secret stuff that can"t be revealed because of national security concerns.

Isn"t that obvious ?

Why else would he be picked for this job ?

The DCI -- the Director of Central Intelligence -- is an administrative figurehead, a political appointee. His DDO and DDI -- Deputy Directors of Operations and Intelligence -- run the field ops and intel analysis so vital to CIA''s essential business: spying abroad.

Panetta should concentrate more on partnering with his DDA -- his chief of administration -- to clean up the bureaucratic nightmare that CIA and other U.S. national security agencies have all wound themselves up in.

He''s a good pick for that job. He need not have been a spy himself. He needs to streamline the Agency and its related operations, bring them all into the Third Millennium. He''ll leave the espionage work itself to his deputies and their directorates.

Does anyone imagine that George H.W. Bush really knew what he was doing when he ''ran'' CIA? He didn''t; he was a political suit who let others do the heavy lifting. (Of course, there''s never been a Bush with any grasp of intelligence, however one might care to define it.)

*******************

I bet you DO wish you could set the clock back 8 or 10 years and undo the DISASTER that has been foisted upon this once-great nation.

As for Monica, your posts suggest you wouldn''t know about what she is qualified for.
