I would venture to say that someone who was the WH COS for 3 years was aware of and in on more intel info that you or I could ever imagine.

And 9/11 still happened while Clinton fiddled.

Agreed. (I was actually referencing Bush41’s experience.)

A 7-Eleven Assistant Manager has more intelligence experience than Panetta.

Yes, but Apu is already working for the other side...

Your point is taken, although FWIW Bush’s military experience was much greater.

Lest we forget, 9/11 happened when Dubya was president.

If you want to use the “it was Clinton fault” reasoning, it was then Bush 41’s fault that Khomeini overthrew Iran since Bush briefed Carter

I am beginning to think the guy who used to wear that sandwish board which read “the end is near” was not crazy. Obviously he had foresight.

Any day now we can expect the zero to name a new FBI director. Current candidates: Jesse Jackson, the elder, if he does not first get put in charge of male surgical procedures at CDC; Jamie Gorelick; or Vanna White. All qualified but Vanna has the edge due to her experience turning things around.

I don’t know... if I were doing my part to establish the ummah re: the US, I would pick the most incompetent folks available (good for blaming as well).

Please Lord, take this man from us.

IMHO I think that both of their military experiences were non-starters for the job as DCI.

Gates is the one who rose from a career there to DCI as opposed to being anyone from anywhere.

Only Gorelick has a chance...the other two are not former Clintonistas!

You just have to find who is leftover from the Clinton Administration who didn't get a job.........

Robert Reich as FBI Director!

WTC bombing #1 happend under Clinton and 9/11 happened because they were free to mobilize and plot during the Clinton years. Democrats = weak defense.

Dow he bring his own band box to stand on or will one be supplied?

You are right though, the other two are not former Clintuneites.

He’s saving Sandy Burglar for FBI Director. Seriously, if he appoints Berger to any post, I will be firmly convinced that the Clintons have O by his family jewels.

wow... does he have any military or intelligence experience?

The better question might have been; does this clown have any intelligence?

Should have selected Reich as Sec'y of State. That way we could stare down the Chinese face to face.......

Well, let’s see. Who’s left from the Clinton Admin?

Robert Reich
Donna Shalala
Madeleine Albright

I think Reno does not want to be in gov’t anymore.
