Ex-CIA Counter-Terrorism Expert: Obama and Holder 'At War' with Agency
News Max ^ | August 31, 2009 | Kent Clizbe

Posted on 08/31/2009 6:07:22 PM PDT by RobinMasters

In the early days and weeks after September 11, 2001, a small cadre of men (and a few women) with vast amounts of intelligence experience reported to the Langley, Virginia headquarters of the CIA. These unsung heroes were then dispatched across the globe to run operations against the Al-Qaeda conspirators who leveled the World Trade Center and struck the nerve center of the US military.

The FBI, a domestic law enforcement agency, did not have the ability or skills needed to track down and strike the attackers overseas. The Pentagon, with F22s, nuclear aircraft carriers, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and battalions of the best armor in the history of mankind, was like an elephant attacked by a mouse—mighty, but helpless in its mammoth rage.

Our best hope lay with the grey-bearded intelligence professionals who fanned out across the world. Supplementing the skeleton crew of staff officers left in the wake of the Clintons’ anti-intelligence scourging of the CIA, the volunteers went to the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, to the most remote and isolated outposts in the world. Sometimes they worked with friendly forces, and sometimes they worked alone. They focused like a laser beam on one thing — stop the next attack. Their mission: Seek and destroy the terrorist planners, facilitators, trainers, financiers, and their infrastructure wherever they were.

These unsung heroes

Well, let's sing them, then. Doug? Can you write something that is NOT a lampoon?

The patriots should be lauded not investigated.

That said, wonder how the company feels in retrospect
about their endless attacks on President Bush now?

If Holder is “at war” with the agency, then O is at war with the agency.

If O isn’t stopped, I can tell you what is going to happen at the end of the day; the current group will be pushed out and displaced by Obamists.

If CIA struck me as being irredemably politicized during Bush’s time, its only going to get worse when Obamists and open marxists fill its leadership ranks. It will become a menace to the country it supposedly serves. Completely unqualified to do the job its tasked with doing, but perfectly qualified to carry out O’s dirty work.

Obama is not going after his own people at the CIA. He's going after the patriots.

We might keep our eyes on this ~ all the others who are not investigated must necessarily be viewed as enemy in the future.

Obama is the most successful communist traitor mole in history, bar none.

Once that is understood, the matrix is revealed.

Compare:
They focused like a laser beam on one thing — stop the next attack. Their mission: Seek and destroy the terrorist planners, facilitators, trainers, financiers, and their infrastructure wherever they were.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, CIA officers, both the contractors and the over-extended staff officers, launched dozens of initiatives.

with:

“Jones didn’t buy Cheney’s argument that the effectiveness of the Bush-Cheney counterterrorism policies are proven in the fact that the U.S. didn’t experience any terrorist attacks on U.S. soil after September 11, 2001. “It’s very easy to leave office and say, ‘Well, no other disaster happened on the size and scope of 9/11, so we did our job well.’ Well, maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. “

Something tells me to trust Klizbe rather than National Security Advisor Jones, despite the fact he is a retired Marine general.

The CIA has been run by leftists for decades. It needs to be terminated and rebuilt from scratch.

Don’t some of the patriots who are left in the CIA have the expertise to “stop” Obama and his assault on both the CIA and our country?

The agency needs to get to the bottom of why the WH is so dead on investigating the agency. The agency needs to investigate the WH and the BC....Someone needs to do a little freelance work on the side and find out all they can on BO!

~~~Everyone MUST read this ... and remember those who,
with their families, gave and give so much today for our safety and stand up for them ....... PASS ON PING!

Our best hope lay with the grey-bearded intelligence professionals who fanned out across the world. Supplementing the skeleton crew of staff officers left in the wake of the Clintons’ anti-intelligence scourging of the CIA, the volunteers went to the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, to the most remote and isolated outposts in the world.

Sometimes they worked with friendly forces, and sometimes they worked alone. They focused like a laser beam on one thing — stop the next attack.

Their mission: Seek and destroy the terrorist planners, facilitators, trainers, financiers, and their infrastructure wherever they were.

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, CIA officers, both the contractors and the over-extended staff officers, launched dozens of initiatives.

The Counter-terrorist Center’s motto, “Deny, Disrupt, Destroy,” became the reason for our living.

We left our families for months on end and sacrificed personal and professional lives to fight the Global War on Terror. Google “Jihadists in Paradise,” for an unauthorized account of one of my contributions (which I have been advised that I can neither confirm nor deny).

As I did my part in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa, my family tried to maintain a semblance of normalcy at home. My son was in eighth grade in September 2001. I did not see him graduate the next summer. I was home less than six months for each of the first three of his high school years. Even with my nightly phone calls, his attitude and grades plummeted in my absence.

He went from a happy, engaged, charming 13 year old with straight A’s and a focus on the future, to a sullen, uncommunicative, high school flunky. I put my successful and lucrative executive recruiting business on hold for eight years. Finally, after five years of constant travel, my family sacrifice account was overdrawn. Coming home was an option for me, and I took it.

Others did not take that option, and they sacrificed the quality of their marriages, participation in their children’s and grandchildren’s lives, the profitability of their businesses, and more. Personal and professional issues festered and rotted while they fought to keep America safe and prevented further attacks on our homeland.

In contrast, where was Eric Holder?

God bless and protect them .. God save America!

Kind of like Bob Baer in See No Evil, how he a twenty-five-year CIA veteran was on the trail of the 1983 Beirut Embassy bomber when Tony Lake had the FBI arrest him for attempting to assassinate Saddam Hussein.

I stayed on hold for fifteen to twenty minutes today to tell the volunteer White House Comment Line (1-202-456-1414/1-202-456-1111) operator that Obama's attacks on the CIA show him to be a terrorist sympathizer.

And I went to cia.gov and got the number and called CIA to support them in the fight.

Time was when the DCI had a live person answering; now it's a voice mail.

I mention it in frequent calls to senators and congressmen.

It's war--and dba Obama and his puke general Holder are on the enemy's side.

No question.
