While the painstaking process of unearthing the "systematic failures" of intelligence on the "underwear bomber" continues, Obama again performs on script. Just as he's done with virtually every past crises - and always while armed with only the bare essentials of information - the now infamous POTUS finger of blame moves away from anyone remotely connected with Obama, his decisions or performance of his appointees, and falls once again on his favorite scapegoat, the CIA.
And the CIA spy chiefs are none to happy about the accusations. It seemed especially harsh when, in an apparent moment of political expedience, Obama was hailing the seven CIA agents slain by a suicide bomber at a US base in the eastern province of Khost 24 hours later.
One day the President is pointing the finger and blaming the intelligence services, saying there is a systemic failure,’ said one agency official. ‘Now we are heroes. The fact is that we are doing everything humanly possible to stay on top of the security situation. The deaths of our operatives shows just how involved we are on the ground.’But CIA bosses claim they were unfairly blamed at a time the covert government agency has been stretched further than ever before in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
They point to the murder of seven operatives at a remote mountain base in Afghanistan’s Khost Province as an example of how agents are putting their lives on the line at the vanguard of America’s far-flung wars.
~~~Some CIA officials are angry at being criticised by the White House after Abdulmutallab, 23, was allowed to slip through the security net and board a US-bound flight in Amsterdam despite evidence he was a terror threat.

Produce the Kenyan and Hawaiian birth certificates CIA.
I have a hard time finding sympathy for CIA.
I wondered why they just stood by when Pelosi called them liars. Why the left hates the CIA? In a normal world they would have turned on Zer0 by now i think. ‘
This is no normal world since Jan 20,09.
Obama has purposefully tied the hands of the CIA, threatened to prosecute CIA agents for torture, and now Obama having created a dysfunctional CIA which dares not exercise a furtherance of the BUSH pre-emptive strike strategy, uses the CIA as a whipping boy.NICE OBAMA! SHOWS US ALL YOUR TRUE PATRIOT COLORS of white and green, the colors of the Muslim World Wide Caliphate movement.
LEON! YOU SHOULD HAVE RESIGNED!!
Maybe if Obozo gets the CIA riled enough, his REAL birth certificate will show up on the internet.
Come on cia it’s time to rat the usurper out. Let’s see ya’
take out pelosi at the same time for her fraud.
I would BET that some of them already have. I know some Old Cold Warriors. They do not change habits quickly.
Now what are the consequences, that is to be seen.
I pray every day that some patriot will finally reveal the truth about Obama’s eligibility.
I wish people would get his name right.
It is 'Barak Hussein Mohammed Obama'.
(in case anyone wonders why he has kept these official documents secret)
Always my hope.
Whatever happened to the “Gorlick’s Wall”. A device which put the wall to prevent sharing of intelligence data between the CIA and the FBI?
I read somewhere that “Wall” was put back up earlier last year (2009).
Is it not true?
Barry Soetoro
Just let him piss off the wrong people at CIA and he may be in a world of sh!t.He may have already done so and only time will tell.
This clown seems to be alienating every, person, firm or entity!
Out of curiosity...why?
Another facet.
you give the CIA entirely to much credit for ruthlessness. That ended with Stansfield Turner’s purge during the Carter administration.
His mother didn’t meet Soetoro until after Barak was born.
Pretty much, the only President they really worked against (not the entire org but large sections of its management) was Dubya.
Don’t think the CIA is filled with patriotic Cold Warrior-types either. There are plenty of diversity hirings, people interested in the excitment or security of a govt job but who lean liberal (if not far left.)
That’s where those leaks came from, the CIA. Because actually doing intel work was on on the agenda of the upper management at the CIA. Porter Goss was worn down by it and eventually gave up. That’s what happens to those who try to make it as patriotic and self-sacrificing as the military. When it’s in a war zone, it’s a little better but the people in Langley? Naw.
