"What's more scandalous is how the CIA has escaped serious reform even today."

[bert]

The devastating outpouring of truth about the failure and incompetence of the left wing Clinton cabal has begun.

AS I recollect the FBI and the CIA bureaucracies both dropped the ball badly with 9/11. The federal response... create yet another mutimillion dollar bureau, Homeland Security, to ignore warning signs and tell field agents to ignore obvious evidence. Makes me feel safer already. Think I’ll go hide under the bed.

Of course, as usual the clowns at NRO avoid the real problem to attack the symptom.

Be really refreshing if ONE time the NRO discovered the guts to attack the Clinton machine on ANYTHING.

Bill Clinton spent more time with Monica then he did with Tenet. If you want to blame someone for 09-11 NRO, look at where the buck was suppose to stop during the 1990s, not the flunky's.

"What We Did During Our Holiday From History." The stretch between the end of the Cold War and the Sept. 11 attacks was supposed to be a shiny new era of globalized peace and prosperity, to which an intelligence service was considered quaintly irrelevant.

Well, we had an Administration whose first order of business was to open the military to open homosexuals...

Following that, the next priority of business was to place 15% of the US economy under government control, i.e. the health care sector.

After that it was fun and games with interns and as a coup de gras, selling pardons, getting the wife elected to the Senate, and looting the White House! So you see there was very little time to do anything about the metastasizing threat of OBL and islamic terrorism, or even to meet with the CIA director or other national security parties. That Administration did however - according to Bubba - pass on detailed information concerning OBL and al Quaeda, and the heroic Richard Clarke was there to tell the incoming Admin all about it, if they had only listened to him!

To which I say B.S!

Oh, and I forgot to mention Waco and Elian Gonzalez among other things keeping the Clinton Admin busy.....

Just another Govt. agency that should be disbanded.
Along with the bureau of indian affairs,
I.C.C., dept. of Education, as well as many many others.

The CIA conformed to the zeitgeist by remaining quaintly irrelevant. George Tenet presided over the agency, failing his way to the second-longest tenure of any director of central intelligence, a Presidential Medal of Freedom and a $4 million book advance. He made the Peter Principle work for him not just by advancing to his level of incompetence, but by benefiting from it handsomely.

When this bozo cried during the ceremony marking his departure from the Agency, I swore I could hear James J Angleton spinning in his grave!

President Bush should have fired his sorry ass Septmber 12 2001!

The CIA is FILLED with CABALISTS like Mary McCarthy and Valerie Plame types!
