The top two officials at the Defense Intelligence Agency said Wednesday that they will retire from those positions in the coming months, part of a leadership shake-up at an agency that is under pressure to trim budgets and shift focus after more than a decade of war, current and former U.S. officials said.

Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn is expected to end his tenure as DIA director this summer, about a year before he was scheduled to depart, according to officials who said Flynn faced pressure from Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. and others in recent months. His deputy, David Shedd, had been in his job since 2010.

Hussein keeps finding more and more REAL Americans secretly waging war against his moslem STASI ass.

I’m hoping DIA was involved in replacing Hussein’s jihadi Nuclear Launch Officers.

34 were replaced in mid JAN 2014.
Then another 34.

The cover story was ‘they cheated on a test.’

I guess they weren’t “gay” enough. Probably married to females too.

Yes, Clapper is an Obamanoid appointee of the worst kind. I don’t know these two officers, but I presume that it’s a part of Obama’s cleansing of the military of all it’s loyal, patriotic leaders.

This is not good. Clapper is an idiot and an Obama Regime ass-kisser. Hagel is, at best, only marginally better.

“Obama’s purge of the officer corps continues.”

And no high ranking official is standing up to it.

And it will continue.

And it will harm us in the long run.

Stalin redux.
