General Hayden to Replace Porter Goss as CIA chief

CNN ^

[John Geyer]

CNN just broke on Anderson Cooper 360 that former NSA Chief General Hayden will replace Goss as the head of the CIA. It hasn't been announced yet by the president though.

When Negroponte took to the podium a short while back, the press marked it as "extremely unusual". The only thing that I remember Negroponte talking about was the NSA which leads directly to Hayden.

Then there's Rove's move to "begin the campaign" and Goss's former Congress experience.

Then there's Bubba's statement that Rove was the cause of the Dems losing the Whitehouse. (Personally, I'd say they lost it when they put Kerry in a Blue Bunny suit).

Then there's Hillary...I think she made a serious mistake. She should have run as VP with Kerry. IMHO, that would have carried them over the top. Kerry would have been easy for Hillary to get rid of as a second termer.

But I think the Dem strategy is to give her as little platform time as possible since she scre*s up so royally AND she doesn't have any idea who she will be running against. She's done sh** for NY.

The link below will give us good insight to General Hayden. This link provides us with a speech General Hayden gave about NSA earlier this year.

It's not like the Dems know nothing about the NSA surveillance and the Powers of the President in wartime. They're on the committees as well as Repubs.

"Appointments like this make me wish I weren't too old to do a few more years."

That was the first thing that ran through my 67 year old brain.

Maybe some of us could go back DC to re administer the loyalty oaths and secrecy agreements to everyone at the Farm on recorded tv. After they are recorded, some of us could show pictures of federal prisons and review the oaths, they just resigned. Resignation packages could be stacked on and around the desks with more signing re the secrecy laws if they decide to resign then.

FOX reporting this also.

Promoted to 0-7 just after King Klinton regime began. Always makes me suspicious. Most flag officers appointed during the reign of the evil one were company men.

Thanks for that post!

[JasonC]

It's a start.

5 years is a long time to wait before a start.

WOW!! I am seriously impressed! Thanks for all the info!

I had heard another thing about him I am going to throughly enjoy : I had heard he is PRO-NSA Terrorist Spying program! besides having some part in it himself!

GREAT!!! Let THAT come up in the confirmation hearings!

Let the Left again bring up their catch phrases of,

"....ILLEGALLY spying on AMERICAN Citizens ...."

and let the whole issue re-surface again with HIM having
" the Floor " Un-interrupted!!! and explain infront of CAMERAS and the Media AND that American people!! that :

a) It is NOT " Illegal " ,
b) It is Intelligence gathering DURING A TIME OF WAR, of
c) on OPEN-Air PUBLIC Air-waves and ,
d) on TERRORIST CONNECTED numbers and lines, by..
e) ..ONLY those IN the field and department so it will NOT
f) be PUBLICALLY released inthe media like the already
Traitorous releases of Our National Security secrets
in the Slimes!!

And THEN let the demorats pick it apart and show their true agenda to the public again!

Just like when Americans hear " Un-Documented " workers--when even they themselves are saying," Un-Documented??!! Don't those bozos mean ILLEGAL ALIENS!!"

The MORE the Traitorous demorats open their mouths - the more America sees their true agenda of merely gaining power for powers' sake--and damn our Nation's Security & Interests!!

Nah, he'll just hand over the wiretaps of all the calls to the Dums from the terrorists

[patton]

You know what you call an 06 in the AF?

[Ann Archy]

He looks like that creep, Martin Frost. I WISH I felt BETTER about the CIA being in capabale hands, but now that Goss is gone I do NOT.

[Ann Archy]

I PRAY that you are right. He LOOKs so WIMPY.

[Ann Archy]

"like jumping into a burlap bag full of rattle snakes"....YOOU NAILED IT!! LOL!

[conservative blonde]

At least it won't be a Judiciary Committee confirmation. There are 8 evil RATS on that committee.

[NY Attitude]

My sentiments exactly.

[Sal]

Found it! Florida filing deadline for the primary is July 14, 2006 for all state candidates and the primary is September 5, 2006.

Plenty of time.
