The Iraq invasion was propelled by phony claims from the “intelligence community” that Saddam had WMDs and somehow was a threat to the US
It was all BS
Too many Freepers swallowed the BS from mediocrities like this guy in the “intelligence community”. And they ridiculed the UN guy - Blix - who was on the ground in Iraq and said there were no WMDs. Well Blix was right and our “intelligence community” was wrong
For saying these FACTS I predict I’m going to get flamed today by delusional Freepers who still can’t break free of their old faith in these people and still want to believe that guys in the “intelligence community” were telling us the truth about WMDs.
The same “intelligence community” that now says Russia is undermining our elections and Trump colluded with Russia.
Imagine thinking that because you say you have a masters degree that people are supposed to be impressed. Credentialism is all the left has anymore.
So what?
"Do you know WHO I AM!"
“I have a masters degree. I ran CIA and NSA.“
This dope acts like these things give him any credibility at all. I consider them three strikes against him.
I’m not impressed by degrees. They are way overrated. I’ve known too many “doctors” who had absolutely no common sense. Nor am I impressed with the fact he ran the NSA and CIA.
Give me a bunch of ordinary, hard working individuals with common sense any day.
Exactly what does a masters degree have to do with being a patriot? Has this moron never heard of all the Soviet spies who were a academics at Cambridge University in the UK back in the day?
How did this fool get to run the CUA?
By naming his bona fides he has excluded himself from the conversation. The CIA, NSA and most colleges haven’t used facts or truth for YEARS.
He knows our kids are being white shamed and taught to hate their country.
How much of this general's NSA work violated the Constitution for such things as spying on citizens without a warrant?
...but he has a masters degree. That proves that he is the smartest person in the room.
Wait...isn't master a racist term?
And Trump has an Ivy League Masters degree. So what's your point, big shot General? That he's dumb? Try again.
I thought the WMD’s were moved out of Iraq before we attacked? If they lied, shame on them.
Will you be disappointed if you are not flamed?
The Cambridge Spy Ring was a ring of spies in the United Kingdom that passed information to the Soviet Union during World War II and was active from the 1930s until at least into the early 1950s. None were ever prosecuted for spying. The number and membership of the ring emerged slowly from the 1950s onwards. As far as the general public was concerned, this started with the sudden flight of Donald Maclean (cryptonym: Homer) and Guy Burgess (cryptonym: Hicks) to the Soviet Union in 1951. Suspicion immediately fell on Harold “Kim” Philby (cryptonyms: Sonny, Stanley), but he did not defect until 1963. Anthony Blunt (cryptonyms: Tony, Johnson) and John Cairncross (cryptonym: Liszt), the last two of the group, confessed to British intelligence but this remained a secret for many years, until 1979 for Anthony Blunt and 1990 for John Cairncross. In time the Cambridge Four evolved to become the Cambridge Five.
How do you know when a COL has a master’s degree? You just wait two minutes and they tell you.
Both of my kids have Masters. Based on the workload I witnessed, I am glad I did not pay for them.
Generally, I am not impressed with degrees. (Engineers and Surgeons impress me. But that’s about it.)
So, what exactly does the CIA and NSA have to do with patriotism? It comes across as weakly as the draft dodging and protesting hippies of the 1960s claims that they were “just as patriotic” as those who served in Vietnam.
Have met Hayden. One of those guys who just reeks creepy sleaze.
Sounds like he’s educated way beyond his intelligence...................... pun intended.............
