First, read the article from Bill Gertz in the Wash Times:
"A new book Bob Woodward reveals some of the CIA's holy-of-holies secrets: Details of covert action programs that must be approved personally by the president.
Mr. Woodward, in "Obama's Wars," describes a Dec. 9, 2008, meeting between President-elect Obama and then-CIA Director Michael V. Hayden and then-Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell. The briefing was on a detailed listing of some of the "14 highly classified covert actions," Mr. Woodward wrote.
At the top of the list was the Bush administration's program to "conduct clandestine, lethal counterterrorism operations and other programs to stop terrorists worldwide" in more than 60 nations. One program goal was to stop al Qaeda from using a nuclear weapon or spreading a biological warfare agent.
Other covert actions were directed at stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons; deterring North Korea from building more; conducting anti-arms proliferation activities around the world; and launching lethal CIA operations in Afghanistan, like deadly drone attacks and the 3,000-person CIA unit called Counterterrorism Pursuit Teams.
In Iraq, CIA covert action involves both lethal and political operations.
Also, CIA was paying "tens of millions" to several foreign intelligence services, including Jordan's General Intelligence Department.
Covert actions mentioned in the briefing included a program to stop genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan and a CIA program to provide the Turkish government with intelligence and other support to prevent the northern Iraq-based Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) from setting up an enclave in Turkey.
Disclosure of the programs raised eyebrows among several high-ranking national security officials because covert action political, military and intelligence operations that are designed to hide the U.S. role in carrying them out are among the most closely guarded secrets."

Ah yes, Mr Woodward, the noble inkstained knight in shining armour, who help destroy President Nixon. What of Woodward? (rhetorical question).
He doesn't need to.
A few Chinese allowed into the Dept. Of Energy by "Witch Hazel O'Leary" during the Clinton administration did that already.
There was something required that was omitted, not said - whatever. Regardless, the CJ and Obama felt compelled to ‘recreate’ the oath in the WH later. This was not recorded to my knowledge.
bttt
His reaction to America's deep secrets should be his full and most conscientious support in keeping AMERICA safe, not his muslims brothers.
LaRouche lol they really want him gone almost as bad as we do.

Especially with so many in Congress worse than he is. Yes, they are worse in that they have allowed him to continue to hold the office of the presidency when each and everyone one of them know he is ineligible.
Wasn’t it six months later or so that the CIA outpost in Afghanistan was attacked by a suicide bomber, who worked with Jordanian intelligence, killing several people including the station chief?
Trust me, we want the Turks on our side.
By giving them the asistance to do it themselves, we anchor a vital part of SWA.
Bump.
An old Intel CWO4 said:
“In the military, John Kerry, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama wouldn’t be cleared to know what time it is!”
What this means is that no one, absolutely no one, should be elected to President or to the Congress that can’t get a security clearance. It’s foolish to do otherwise. Especially since it is the security of the United States that is at risk.
They *can't* reliably be on our side.
They are sliding back into Islamic theocracy.
That makes them our inevitable mortal enemy.
I want the upcoming R win to fight hard and extremely aggressively against the damage this administration has done, and to the persons who did it.
No wimpiness or getting along or bipartisanship or moderates or compromise.
The Black Flag is needed.
Well, that settles that...as far as you're concerned!
oooooh.....sarcasm........
why not? klinton sold them.
as far as you're concerned. ;)
This is unbelieveable. If Obama did this, it might be impeachable.
