Washington, DC Thursday, February 7, 2013
The President's choice to be the new CIA Director, John Brennan, goes before the Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday for his confirmation hearing. If approved, Brennan will replace Acting Director Michael Morell.
Several Committee members are vowing to ask Brennan “tough questions,” including questions on the use of American drones overseas and the Obama administration’s drone strike program. He is also expected to field inquiries about the agency's budget.
Brennan, currently Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, is a 25-year veteran of the CIA and served both at the agency's headquarters and overseas, including a tour as station chief in Saudi Arabia. Pres. Obama nominated Brennan as the next CIA director on January 7, 2013.

Rubio, Coburn,
Another protest! And another! Recess to clear the people protesting! LOL
Recess!
LOLOLOL.
Hah, they are protesting one by one. So one gets removed, then the next one pops up, and now they are halting the hearings and the room is being cleared. It’s Code Pink doing it. So Feinstein and Company knew they were in there, and let them in. Idiot Dems. They let their own kind in and then they turn on them. Hah, hah, hah. Fools.
Wowzers! All h*ll is breaking loose in the hearing room. So far at least three protesters have been escorted out. This is too delicious!
FineSwine has her piggy hands full with all the Code Pinkos in the audience jumping up and shouting and disrupting the hearing.
LOL, now they are clearing the room and will not allow the Pinkos back.
So much for open and transparent!!
hahahaha Fienstien has to clear the chamber and reccess because of the Code Pink members distrupting.
Code Pinkies! Excellent!
Feinstein having to clear chambers temporarily now to remove Code Pink members who are disrupting. At least 5 have gotten up and made a ruckus so far.
They will bring people back in one-by-one.
How stupid can they be, admitting people with SIGNS?
Wow - Love the protestors . . . shut down Chamber ... keep it up !
Same will happen to Gun control hearings!
ROTFL.
And those Pinko’s were carrying SIGNS!
First CLUE!
“Come on IN!”
Didn’t some democrats invite code pink during the Bush years to disrupt? LOL, I guess it all depends on who’s ox is getting gored.
So Sinkswine can’t even handle a few Code Pink Sissy maggots...
So she thinks she wants to take on 100 Million American Patriots to confiscate their firearms.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’d love to bring a squirt gun to Gun Control hearings....LOL.
During the Bush years, Code Pink was a mainstream media darling, praised for their political dissent by the left and treated like royalty by both.
During the Obama years, suddenly Code Pink is ignored by both media along with the left.
Code Pink: Nothing more the cannon fodder Useful idiots although at time, entertaining...and soon to be terminated.
Yep. Professional lefty useful idiot protestors. They must be funded by their rich trust funds or Commie groups cause this is all they do ......World wide. Yes, they were cute darlings during Bush years. They were all celebrated and interviewed even on FoX. They were side by side with crazy Cindy Sheehan. Wonder where Cindy is now that she is all used up??
Do you agree to limit your agents to only have magazines of ten rounds?
LOLOLOLOL.
Why were they allowed in with signs???
Geez, it’s like professional wrestling. What next; Adorable Adrian Street?
“Do you agree to limit your agents to only have magazines of ten rounds?”
Really. After all, you don’t need more rounds than that to hunt.
I’m a little irked they weren’t dressed as vaginas.
All quiet in the audience now. Seems like at least 5 were ejected before they stopped the show and sent everyone out. Many more in the audience holding up red hands, signs, dolls to represent dead babies I guess.
Where has Code Pink been the last 4 years? Guess now that 4 more years is over & done, they can come back out in the daylight again?
Brennan will be confirmed! Nothing happening here so far!
Brennan is being as vague as they are allowing him.
They are now asking if they have the power to kill Americans WITHIN the U.S.
He says “we need to explain the processes” to the American people. Will only use as a last resort.
Never said yes or no whether they would ever do it in the U.
S.
Brennan is now getting grilled over his teleconference with media types (ie Richard Clarke) and being a blabbermouth about what? I first thought they were talking about the Bin Laden raid, but not so. Did you catch what they were discussing?
Mikluski wasting time asking to meet Brennan’s wife, saying what a wonderful job the CIA does while getting no credit, etc. I got little pukes in my mouth

Holder says water boarding is torture, so that settles it.
Blech!
Brennan: water boarding will never again be employed if I’m confirmed.
Code Pink eats it’s own doo-doo

Brennan made a joke with Mikulski (Polish for “Little Toad”) re CIA’s competition with a lot of Mikulski’s constituents under General Alexander at Fort Meade.
This with Carl Levin is HILARIOUS!!!!
Keep focusing on the Waterboarding guys!!!
then we’ll ask you if its better to just Drone-Kill the terrorists or waterboard them???ha!
Levin is likely a Communist.
Senator Rubio was dead bangs erious.
Susan Collins is a surprise.
Her questions haven’t been all that bad.
Holder says water boarding is torture, so that settles it.
Blech!
Brennan: water boarding will never again be employed if I’m confirmed.
Okay, my head is spinning here. So, we can’t waterboard enemies, but we can just kill them? I feel like I’m living in Wonderland.
Dead enemies can’t talk.
They finally got me. I have a headache.
Thank you so much for both LIVE threads.
We can’t waterboard enemies, but we can kill citizens. Now does it make sense?
Is killing people with drones against the Geneva convention?
Me too! I just took two Aleve.
I would just go to bed, but hubby and I are going to our taxpreparer tonight to find out if we gave these SOB’s enough of our money during the year!
I’m thinking I won’t like the answer, and it won’t help me headache. Maybe some Culver’s ice cream will help....
You have my prayers! Ice cream always helps. :)
