Don't forget, these are the same people who didn't take Bin Laden seriously all through the 90-s.

Couple that with the selection of Craig Livingstone and the Rodham/Clintons have no standing on any security issue.

Thanks for the perspective re the CIA.

Here is another article I found, that's relevant:


Clinton CIA Hurt Search for Iraqi Weapons

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/6/17/110832.shtml

Thanks to Bill Clinton's decimation of the CIA, a weakened network of spies in Iraq could provide the agency with no proof of chemical or biological weapons.
"Slightly more than a year before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the CIA launched a major effort to rebuild its network of Iraqi agents, which had been badly depleted by repeated purges, according to congressional and Bush administration officials with knowledge of the effort," USA Today reported today.

But the Bush administration's efforts to rebuild the agency could not overcome the damage in time.
