“I have yet in my lifetime to hear of a CIA ‘success’ “
“We don’t hear about their successes. They protect their sources by staying quiet about them.”
Again, don’t you wish that was the criteria on your job?
We are supposed to believe a federal agency that can’t keep its mouth shut about a host of top secret programs....can keep its mouth shut for decades about ‘successes’?
Sorry, I’m not buying that Langley created mythical standard.
From the Bay of Pigs to 9/11, the CIA’s track record has been ABYSMAL. They even missed the economic collapse of the Soviet Union....(eyes rolling)
I refuse to accept any longer the Central Intelligence Agency’s ‘our successes are secret’ mantra...because the overwhelming track record is one of unmitigated FAILURE, on every level.
Excellent summary of the Farm.
“Can anyone cite a CIA ‘success’ in the last four decades?”
When we add your comment above from another reply of yours, the abysmal reality sinks in.
Anyone of real value to this county in the CIA was outed during the Carter years. No one in the MSM really cared when the mediots and anti Americans named the good people in country and put their families and them in real life danger.
I'm inclined to agree. No "government" agency is going to downplay success, especially at appropriations time. I used to believe maybe they kept their coups to themselves. Then I woke up.
