You write, "I know the CIA despise Bush."
This is not true.
I have heard on several shows from several people that the CIA and STATE Depts. were very anti-Bush and were doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes to thwart Bush's foreign policy choices. Bill Gertz, spent a long time on Rush's show one day telling how all of the so-called "leaks" were purposly used to discredit Bush and hopefully keep him from re-election.
I saw a thread that alludes to Powell perhaps staying because of Bushs renewed intent in Israel/Palestinian conflict. I think he should go and we should get a "porter goss" to clean house in State.
Does anyone have any idea who Bush might pick to be new head of the all encompassing Intelligence Department?
