CIA Chief Sees Unrest Rising With Population
Washington Post ^ | May 1, 2008 | Joby Warrick

Posted on 05/01/2008 12:20:32 PM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

Swelling populations and a global tide of immigration will present new security challenges for the United States by straining resources and stoking extremism and civil unrest in distant corners of the globe, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said in a speech yesterday.

...Hayden, speaking at Kansas State University, described the projected 33 percent growth in global population over the next 40 years as one of three significant trends that will alter the security landscape in the current century. By 2050, the number of humans on Earth is expected to rise from 6.7 billion to more than 9 billion, he said.

"Most of that growth will occur in countries least able to sustain it, a situation that will likely fuel instability and extremism, both in those countries and beyond," Hayden said.

...European countries, many of which already have large immigrant communities, will see particular growth in their Muslim populations while the number of non-Muslims will shrink as birthrates fall. "Social integration of immigrants will pose a significant challenge to many host nations -- again boosting the potential for unrest and extremism," Hayden said.

...A third security trend highlighted by Hayden was the emergence of China as a global economic and military powerhouse, pursuing its narrow strategic and political interests.

Damn.

Maybe getting married and having children isn't so important after all.

Maybe I should just limit my goals to getting married and having lots of sex.

Perhaps the banks could offer subprime financing on large prison camps and sell bonds rated by Moody’s to pension funds. The next bubble?

CIA should open a cable news network . Their slogan could say “When anything happens in the world , its news to us “.

In most cases getting married and having lots of sex are mutually exclusive. This is due to a small chemical switch in women’s finger directly under the area the wedding band goes that hormonally turns off the sex drive.

Getting married and having lots of sex in the same sentence? That’s something you don’t see everyday.

That's why I went for a very sick woman, last time. I went for someone who was a sex addict.

Then she discovered crack cocaine. Yikes.

Too bad. I saw the headline and was hoping the Cheeto eating, Plasma Screenoids, might be waking up to the sound of their country going down the crapper.

Well, it gets worse: I finally found a woman I could be with, sexually.

But everytime I was with her, I would start crying uncontrollably. So I went to the doctor, and told him that every time I was with my new girl, sexually, I would start crying uncontrollably.

He looked at me and responded, "That's probably the pepper spray."

No. My definition of a good date is, she doesn't report the incident immediately -- giving me time to flee to another jurisdiction.

They are a little late with that revelation.

Malthus predicted it centuries ago.

Of course, they’re not. Which is why the segment of the conservative population that’s always expressing knee-jerk opposition to any effort to reduce birth rates in 3rd World countries is really stupid and self-destructive.

“Social integration of immigrants will pose a significant challenge to many host nations — again boosting the potential for unrest and extremism,” Hayden said.

Shouldn’t he be telling this to the folks in power. (McQueeg, Bush and those other 2 idiots)

“”Social integration of immigrants will pose a significant challenge to many host nations — again boosting the potential for unrest and extremism,” Hayden said.”

Oh, Mr. Hayden, don’t be silly. Your government has this handled! Social ‘integration’ of immigrants? We don’t expect them to integrate, the illegal ones know that, why don’t you? We print everything and spend billions on interpreters so they can avoid ‘integration’. Just ask ‘em, they’re out in the streets of our cities today....’integrating’!

...and this....

“...A third security trend highlighted by Hayden was the emergence of China as a global economic and military powerhouse, pursuing its narrow strategic and political interests.”

China is a threat? Who knew! Pssst..Hayden, it’s an election year, you aren’t supposed to talk about ..china....

Brilliant, the article below talks about this.

MAYDAY!!! MAYDAY!!! It's good that you're posting these "pings" today and seasoning them with sarcasm... or what I sometimes call sourchasm!!!

This whole devaluation of American Citizenship is SOURCHASM!!!

Talk about your "God (bleep) America" from "Pastor Wright," and "Death to America" chants from rabid, bloodthirsty Iranian Muslim Islamofacists!!!

All they're doing is shootin words at us. The illegals are quietly just invading and overburdening everything, instead!!!
