KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest killed at least eight American civilians, most of them C.I.A. officers, at a remote base in southeastern Afghanistan on Wednesday, according to NATO officials and former American intelligence officials.
The attack at the C.I.A. base, Forward Operating Base Chapman, in Khost Province appeared to be the single deadliest episode for the spy agency in the eight years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. It also dealt a significant blow to the often insular, tight-knit organization, which has lost only 90 officers in the line of duty since its founding in 1947.

Words fail me. We are on our own folks. Best be prepared to look after your own safety as long as bozo is around.
I wish the MSM would quit referring to these nuts jobs as ‘suicide bombers’. To me they are homicidal ‘bombers’.
A small point, but it really bothers me.
It was an isolated incident committed by an individual acting alone. However, the Obama administration won’t rest until everyone involved is brought to justice. In the meanwhile, Napolotino said that after the incident, the system worked perfectly otherwise.
How many people think Obama shared intel with the Taliban to enable this attack? (Both hands raised!)
U ain’t kidding.
This executive branch has totally fallen apart and is un-governable by the current CEO.
Our Legislative branch has failed to represent the people and our judicial protections seem occupied elsewhere.
I need to run for office to fix this.
My FIRST thought after November 11,2008 was that ALL our enemies now knew ALL our secrets. I detest Zero. He is making the world a MUCH more dangerous place for all of us in the future. And he couldn’t care less.
Vote for Ed!! Vote for Liberty!!
There are beginning to be too many coincidences. It really is starting to look obvious.
The article said that one important thing that has to be determined is whether the bomber was a regular worker on the base, or if he snuck in somehow.
4 CIA killed between 9/11 and yesterday. At least 8, possibly up to 6 more killed in one day under Obama. Possibly the deadliest attack in CIA history.
Already Hassan at Ft Hood, Mutallab on 253 that pure luck averted, the worst attack in CIA history(or tied with Beirut ‘83), the deadliest few months in the Afghan War, a resurgence of terror in Iraq over the end of the year, Iran pressing full steam ahead on its nukes, all in a very condebsed time period.
Nice to see Obama is out doing his best Eldrick impression on the Hawaii beaches while his intelligence people are getting blown to bits. I’m sure that really inspires confidence.
It was required by law in July of 2009 by the Goldwater/Nichols Act.
The US Military, FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, and other alphabet agencies are rudderless.
No coherent policies from one group to the other.

I hate to say this...wonder if the terrorist were alerted to the CIA operatives by the usurper’s administration...since those in this administration are actively talking to the Taliban...
8 CIA are killed while the administration is trying to pin the Detroit terroist bomber on the CIA.
The administration will not know what hit them.
A statement from obama was just read on FOX. What a hypocrite he is. Blame the CIA one day and praise their tradition the next.
It was a bland statement.
