[ Exactly. See #59 BTTT! ]

Porter Goss is not George Bush..
I stand by what I said.. Appeasement is not statemanship either..
"I'm a unite'er not a diveder" IS appeasment.. especially in a time of war.. Any that don't think the polarization politically in the U.S. is not WAR.. is smoking oregano.. instead of something real..

It might be related to the management style of Patrick Murray.

I believe Patrick Murray is one of Peter Goss's top four subordinates brought over from the House to help him clean up house. He was one of those mentioned in an LAT hit piece today.It appears the liberal egos are upset at GWB's election and are going to do their best to undermine the new team.

The important thing to remember is that the Agency did all it could to interject itself into the internal affairs of this country and attempt a silent coup.

Clean house!!

As Scheuer told The Washington Post this week,

"As long as the book was being used to bash the president, they [the C.I.A. honchos] gave me carte blanche to talk to the media."

What else needs to be said?

Understanding subtleties, rhetoric designed for the consumption of the masses, how things work in the "REAL WORLD", and the difference between what a prudent President should say as contrasted with what a common, intemperate citizen is free to say, isn't one of your strongest suits, is it.

No.. I subscribe to the Professor Irwin Cory school of bull sperm cyptology..

"Since new CIA Director Porter Goss blocked the October Surprise agency left-wingers had prepared against Bush "

Thanks for posting this. If Goss blocked them, that means he knows who they are and hopefully will sweep them out.

I think a shake up in the CIA is long overdue.

When Nancy Pelosi (et al) started screaming about Dubya appointing Porter Goss...
you know Dubya was doing the right thing (cleaning house at the CIA)

[ "No" - hosepipe.. But I already knew that. ]

True.. Your smarter than me..
I 'm a reactionist thats why I voted for Bush..
Reacting to dumb vs dumber posing as a Presidential election.
You have your reasons I have mine..
Your reasons being(I suppose) being well thought and logical..prolly.
My reasons being I speak Neantherthal well..
"I'm a unite'er not a divider" is political cowardice and defeatist mouthings..
A dialect of "Read my lips, no new taxes".. and appeaseing democrats while being slapped on the back with a "NOTE" saying "FOOL" on it.. the apple don't fall too far from the tree.

And YES.. I volunteer for gallows duty to hang every democrat and RINO in Washington on the White House lawn.. and I don't need no hood to hide the smile either.. Well really I am a Neantherthal not some mealy mouthed, mouth breather.. "I'm a divider NOT a unite'er".. in Neantherthal that means "Whos your daddy"..

These are the same cilil servants who failed to see the crumbling of the Eastern Bloc as well as the attack upon our shores.

In the words of Oliver Cromwell, "You have sat here too long for the good you do. In the name of God, go!"

Yes!

This op-ed in NYT was written by DAVID BROOKS (CONSERVATIVE BUSH SUPPORTER). I believe him because if you have read anything in the liberal media, the leaks bashing the President and his administration have come from the intelligence community. They were in cahoots with their liberal allies in the media who had made it their mission to defeat President Bush. Well, we all know how that turned out. They all failed, "BIG TIME".

The President had better clean house at the CIA and every other agency and let them know he will not tolerate their behavior. Only then will their insubordination stop. It looks like Porter Goss is not only shuffling chairs, but cleaning out the "rats" nest. It will make us all safer and the President will be able to do his "constituional" job better, PROTECTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. The Prez has to trust the intelligence agencies to do that.

The President should call in Tom Clancy and ask him to advise the new director in ways of refoming CIA. Jim

President Bush's biggest mistake was not immediately removing George Tenet who owed his entire career to the Demorats. Under Tenet's reign the CIA organized a Counter Terrorism Center that financed many leftist organizations. Guess who 2 of the biggest beneficiaries were: Dick Clark and Joe Wilson.
