Senate Committee to Hear from CIA Director Nominee
C-Span Live ^ | 02/07/13 | C-Span

Posted on 02/07/2013 11:43:40 AM PST by Wisconsinlady

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.

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?

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 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.

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?

Holder says water boarding is torture, so that settles it.
Blech!

Brennan: water boarding will never again be employed if I’m confirmed.

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.
