An extremely dangerous situation... Democrats won’t take it serious until it is their ox who is gored.
Even FOX news plays along with the MSMs agenda most of the time by following their manufactured “news” and polls without ever revealing or even examining the corrupt process by which so much of what we hear is scripted, manufactured and packaged by the MSM, with the ultimate aim of promoting a political agenda.
I know most of you are very aware of the process, but it is well worth noting each time it happens.
The NIE report in which the press has almost unanimously taken at face value the statement “Iran halted its bomb development program” was at best deceptive.
There are three legs to nuclear weapon development. One would be a delivery system, ie missles to carry the bomb. For theater delivery, Iran already has such vehicles, and is working apace to extend that range.
By far, the most difficult and expensive part is enriching bomb grade uranium (or plutonium, but they don’t appear to be doing that at least). Enrichment continues unabated. With the equipment for that, it is only a matter of time and scale to move from reactor suitable fuel to bomb grade.
If fuel and delivery vehicle is available, the least difficult leg is fashioning the weapon itself, the one leg the NIE claims Iran abandoned. Even if true, this so easily overcome as to be nearly irrelevant. People from our own nuclear program have suggested that a bright grad student with a generous budget could, if provided the fuel itself, fashion a working device in a terrifyingly short time.

Wasn’t it a CIA employee and Kerry supporter who leaked the phone tapping story to the NY Times? Nah, they’re not hurting America.../sarc
The main benefit to this kind of arrangement is that the CIA would not be making policy anymore. The CIA would not run operations or produce position papers. The people that came from the CIA might do those things for one of the joint commands. No more CIA directors deciding which Administration policies they'll accept and which they'll oppose. I doubt they'll get many takers for their analysis offerings either. The friggin' weather forecasters and stockbrokers have much better track records.
A politicized “intelligence” agency is worthless. They will never tell you the truth and withhold critical information to make the boss look bad.
If you remember the previous administration, the boss didn’t bother to check with the CIA very often. Everyone was happy.
However in the world did this loose cannon, Hayden get the job?
How can he be fired?
