Fed up? With what??
CBC News: CIA head Goss resigns, no reason given — OK, let the gossip begin!! Bloggers, on your mark, get set…
The head of the CIA unexpectedly resigned on Friday after less than two years on the job.
U.S. President George W. Bush, who made the announcement in the Oval Office, thanked Goss for his service. It’s the latest in a series of second-term shakeups in the Bush administration.
“He has led ably. He has a five-year plan to increase the analysts and operatives,” said Bush, who stood beside Goss while speaking.
Goss, who didn’t give reasons for his resignation, said he leaves the agency on “a very even keel, sailing well.”
“I honestly believe that we have improved dramatically,” he said.
Bush nominated Goss in August 2004 as the spy agency struggled to recover from intelligence failures linked to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and questionable evidence used as the reasons behind the invasion of Iraq.
Sorry for all who thought it was a conspirousy……looks like good old turf warfare cost Goss his job. All you have to do is look at the possible replacements….all are assistants or aides to Negroponte.
It’s too bad that this will scroll off the bottom before it gets a chance to be discussed.
The truth is starting to come together.
The resignation of the CIA director is building up to be an actual conspiracy.
See if you can follow the story:
Hayden, the proposed new chief of the CIA, was previously in charge of the NSA. He strongly supported the questionable wiretapping program, ‘rendition’ and other deeply questionable programs.
Negroponte, the National Intelligence Director, and a Bush administration insider, did not get along with Porter Goss, because Porter Goss, the outoing CIA director, had serious doubts concerning the issue of wiretapping.
So it turns out that Bush, Negroponte and Hayden got together and decided that the Director of the CIA had to go. If Porter Goss had qualms about doing the President’s bidding, regardless of legal qualms, he had to go.
So now Hayden is now being promoted to DIrector of the CIA, and Goss is out. Another full Neo-Con insider grabs a position of absolute power.
And so the checks and balances slowly crumble. If you disagree, you are out. There is no room for differing views or contrarian advice in the governing cabinet. By Presidential proclamation, the laws of the country do not apply to those in power. If you fall out of favor, expect to be airbrushed out of the photos.
Slowly but steadily the USA is losing the Cold War, becoming what we fought so strongly against. And we do this in the name of freedom and democracy.
Remember, the masses were also enchanted by Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro and (I say this with dispair) also Hitler. Are we heading towards totalitarianism with a smile on our faces? It certainly seems that way.
Note to the blog reviewers, this is worth listening to and blogging. Something is happening that is worth taking notice of… this came just this week from a ‘conservative’ radio station in LAX:
