Larry Johnson is the f-ing intelligence genius who wrote a New York Times editorial 2 monthw prior to 911 that terrorism is not a threat to the US. Real smart.

So our automatic and innocently delivered response whenever lieing Larry shows up should be: Is that the same Larry Johnson who wrote in the NYT right before 9/11 that terrorism isn't a threat to the US?

To Larry's credit, it at least proves he didn't have foreknowledge of 9/11. I'm not so sure of some of the folks pulling his little strings.

The smearing is underway. That's what the MSM does on behalf of their cohorts in congress.

The most experienced hands that didn't notice the plans to destroy the WTC.

The most experienced hands that never knew about the plan to destroy the USS Cole.

The most experienced hands that never noticed the plans to blow up our Embassies overseas.

Cute remarks are not critical thinking. The lack of such is what afflicts us today. Stop being cute and think.

The whole article is full of innuendo and cute remarks but sorely lacking in critical thinking. You ought to have noticed that.

Bad start to your (short) stay here at FR.

If one is concerned, and one is new to the site, that make one a troll?

We have more evidence that you are a troll than anyone has that Goss was involved in "Hookergate".

What I love is how the Left is so out for blood that they don't realize that smearing Porter Goss right now will serve them no purpose other than to make it easier for his replacement (who ran the NSA spying program, way to stick it to 'em, W!) to be confirmed.

Since you personally didn't know that something was in the works, doesn't make your ignorance of the facts relevant.

I suspect it's more likely that in his "housecleaning", Goss was getting close to something that had a lot of people scared, and they found a way to make it more worthwhile for him to resign than to stay on.

See? I can speculate too.

I'm sure there was a good reason the White House didn't discuss WHY he "resigned."

That comment could be taken either way.
You might be jumping on the zot train a little early.

And what would that reason be, Foggo, named after the #3 CIA guy who is implicated in "Hookergate" (although Goss is not) and signed up today?

"Yes, the Friday thing is classic. However, you can not just let the resignation, and an unexpected one at that, slip into yesterdays news. There is much more here than we know right now."

It is a very good indicator how important getting out a smear like this one is to the left by the number of DU trolls who sign up to promote it at FR.

The Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern and Mary McCarthy's of the world might not make very good intelligence officers. But they are great propagandists.

It is disgusting how many people like yourself eagerly join them to try to destroy our country.

And what would that reason be

Speculation on FR yesterday, (in one of the General Hayden threads,) was that Goss resigned to run for the Florida Senate seat.

You are a nutjob.

Just like Larry.
