No. He failed when he didn't cashier these guys...and EVERY appointment by Clinton in every intel and DOD function...immediately as his very first act of accession.
They and their agencies failed the country. Then the 911 Commision failed the country
With Bush again letting the Clintons and their proxies get away with murder and scrubbing history so that it absolves the Xlintons of their role.
and now the CIA has failed again in a treasonous way.
As Novak properly showed, W has no one to blame but himself for sacking Porter Goss who was beginning to make progress at cleaning house.
We should ask each Republican candidate. Will you fire the head of the CIA, FBI and DHS on the day one?
Yes. We should.
Then start firing or transfering a lot of holdovers..if you can’t fire the civil servants..transfer them to an empty room in Adak AK to listen to old short wave radios.
Not sufficiently onerous duty. They need to be sent to Pakistan's northern province...and ordered to find Osama Bin Laden...or not come back.
If they refuse...then they are fired for cause, insubordination and their resume's become worthless.
And BTW, if you think their incompetence on the Iranian intel is grotesque...you should see their happy-talk over China!
However in the world did this loose cannon, Hayden get the job?
How can he be fired?
AUGUST 7, 2002 : (FBI ASKS 17 SENATORS OF THE SSCI TO TURN OVER RECORDS FROM JUNE 18 & 19, 2002 - See LEAKS : NSA 9/11 INTERCEPTS LEAK — See ECKENRODE [see FBI], LT. GENERAL M V HAYDEN [see CIA]) The FBI has intensified its probe of a classified intelligence leak, asking 17 senators to turn over phone records, appointment calendars and schedules that would reveal their possible contact with reporters.
In an Aug. 7 [2002] memo passed to the senators through the Senate general counsel’s office, the FBI asked all members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to collect and turn over records from June 18 and 19, 2002. Those dates are the day of and the day after a classified hearing in which the director of the National Security Agency, Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden, spoke to lawmakers about two highly sensitive messages that hinted at an impending action that the agency intercepted on the eve of Sept. 11 but did not translate until Sept. 12.
The request suggests that the FBI is now focusing on the handful of senior senators who are members of a Senate-House panel investigating Sept. 11 and attend most classified meetings and read all the most sensitive intelligence agency communications. A similar request did not go to House intelligence committee members. -—— “Ashcroft Demands Records of 17 Senators ,” Probing Sept 11th. Attacks , August 24, 2002
Because he was a "pro-China" and "process" guy from NSA. When we defenders of Goss heard about it we feared the worst, that he would be a patsy for the existing lefty subversives inside Langley.
And it has proven to be the case...to a T.
As far as firing him...go back to the days here at FR when we old hand anti-communists were warning against Hayden...and there were a mysterious platoon of people DEFENDING the choice....h'mmmm. Can we surmise that these were trolls from Langley? It would be interesting to run down each of them, and demand their current take.
If they still defend him, well, that is pretty much an admission. If they don't that doesn't necessarily vindicate them, as they could be wise to being interrogated.
But how can we get the guy fired? We can't. Whoever got Goss fired....that is who we should fear. And my guess is that it was the RATs in Congress who were prepared to use the questionable conduct of an aide of Goss's against him. A homo apparently.
That tells you how dirty they are prepared to go for their control and resumption of power.
And it also tells you how weak and spineless W truly is.
It’s also another reminder of how harmful homosexuality (and numerous other sins) are.
I like the tenor among the GOPers in the know in Congress that The Prince refers to in this article, though. I’d cheer them on to co-pilot the hearings and direct it squarely at Hayden. (I doubt W. gave any orders on the matter.)
