Well I have an 8th grade education.
And I still have enough memory to recognize the name Michael Hayden. He stinks.
Elmer Fudd
He knows more than you, you commie pinko!
I was referring to the General.
If mikey here wants to talk about it back of the barn, I’ll fold his teeth back for him...
It s funny, big deal he has a masters degree, people with doctorates in History and have actual expertise in American history condemn 1619 as being full of errors. Jones now admits 1619 isn’t about history but a narrative, what ever that is! What is wrong with these people?
Bush and Cheney even admit we found no WMDs
The idea that there were no WMDs in Iraq is simply absurd. In addition to clear use in their war with Iran, after Desert Storm, some large amounts of them were declared by Iraq, sampled, tagged, and many turned over for destruction - all with the involvement of a multitude of nations - and some of those sampled and tagged materials not turned over for destruction.
You’ve been throwing this silliness - and largely non sequitur - around for years, then fall on your face when presented with any of the wide variety of proofs that your position is unsustainable, at which time you start shifting goal posts or just move on to repeat elsewhere.
The issue at the time was not whether Iraq had them, but rather what happened to them, with our intelligence agencies stating a belief that Iraq did not in fact secretly destroy the materials declared, sampled, and tagged which had not been turned over for destruction.
There is also the legitimate argument over whether the response was appropriate, and even if appropriate was it performed correctly. That there were no WMDs there is not one of the legitimate arguments.
TheHill.com: Former CIA chief Hayden slams Biden’s Libya assessment. By Carlo Muñoz - 10/12/12
Former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden has joined the chorus of GOP voices slamming Vice President Biden’s comments on the White House’s inconsistent explanation of the Sept. 11 assault on the American Consulate in Libya.
During Thursday’s vice presidential debate, Biden blame[d].... the U.S. intelligence community for its initial claims the attack in Benghazi was the result of a anti-American protest gone awry. “The intelligence community told us that,” Biden said. “As they learned more facts about exactly what happened, they changed their assessment.”
“Look, if we are hit by terrorists, we are going to call it for what it is: a terrorist attack,” Rep. Paul Ryan (W-Wisc.) shot back during Thursday’s debate. Weeks after the attack, which ended in the deaths of four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, the administration admitted the assault was a coordinated strike by Libyan extremists.
Hayden, who led the CIA for three years under the George W. Bush White House, said the administration had no one to blame but itself for its flawed explanation of the Benghazi attack. “It is clear that any failure was not on the part of the intelligence community, but on the part of White House decision-makers who should have listened to, and acted on, available intelligence,” Hayden said in a joint statement with former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff...
I’d rather have a farm worker with an 8th grade education run the intel services; I would bet they wouldn’t have been as stupid as Hayden and his brilliant colleagues who got us into the disastrous, totally unjustified war in Iraq based on lies that a child could have seen through.
Gen Michael Hayden @GenMhayden I have a masters degree. I ran CIA and NSA. Trump wants a patriotic commission, 1776 Commission. What does he know about that? Absolutely nothing. And he’s not interested in facts.
This from the nation’s most dangerous traitor that ever held top CIA and NSA positions. He should have been court martial-ed, stripped of his rank and jailed.
I would have thought that someone who ran CIA and NSA would be more impressive.
Of course! that is why Trump ran and won. Swap creatures all of them.
I might ask this Master Degreed, NSA CEO, and CIA CEO what he knows about being a patriot.
Not much
Imagine thinking that because you say you have a masters degree that people are supposed to be impressed
= = = = = = = = = = =
Was always under the impression that if one were outstanding at certain things, OTHERS would be talking about it, not necessary for ‘you’ to.
Believed it is/was called ‘Blowing your own horn’
Great. I have a master’s degree and a JD and I speak 3 languages. Unlike you Michael, I’m not deep State scum.
(Why listing our educational degrees was necessary I have no idea)
I don’t swallow ONE WORD from intel OR FBI anymore EVER, the most corrupt departments in government they are nothing more than keystone cops LOSERS!! The Ivy League degrees mean nothing anymore either EXCEPT you yourself know NOTHING about history what history you have been taught are COMPLETELY FALSE!!
