C.I.A. – Curiously Inept Agency

We are in a war, maybe even a couple of wars and we are blind. We have no idea what’s going on in the world or who is against us.

With restrictions placed on our intelligence agencies and our military we’re not even allowed to try to find out what’s going on. Our no profiling and political correctness policies are killing our country. Why do we spend billions of dollars on these agencies if they’re not allowed to do anything? Oops, I forgot. It’s a place to dump (I mean place) political hacks.

They looked the other way before the Fort Hood mess because they didn’t want to be accused of profiling. Now we have an ‘alleged’ bomber invited into a secure base in Afghanistan for a meeting with top C.I.A. officials in the area. What a great move. Who is planning what? It’s like a Marx Brothers movie.

We have an ‘alleged’ bomber, Abdul Mutallab, allowed on a plane with a bomb in his shorts and was not on anyone’s list, even though he was turned in by his father. Rumors have it that he was trained, schooled and supplied by a couple of Yemeni detainees who had been held at Guantanamo but released. Could that have been a mistake? Why and who released them? I guess our effort at re-education, pacification, art therapy, soccer, water sports and barbecuing didn’t work. I wonder if bomb making 101 was an elective for them.

I’m starting to wonder if the people (terrorists) who flew the planes into the World Trade Center buildings were invited here to see that they shouldn’t hate us and try to change their thinking. I think the C.I.A. should look into this matter. Oops. Forget that.

I would like to know what the qualifications are to get into this agency? I guess getting recommended by a radical leftist (liberal) would help. Then you would have to be politically correct, fail a couple of S.A.T. exams,  intelligence, be against profiling and you have a candidate. They can’t all be political hacks, can they? Maybe so, there was Valarie Phlame. Need I say more?

Why don’t we get military men (retired) with combat experience and a chest full of medals received for valor and put them in charge of some of our security agencies? You could at least be sure of their integrity and honor. General Schwarzkopf would have been a great leader of one of these agencies. Instead we have the great ‘airhead,’ Janet Napolitano, who thinks our biggest terrorist threat is from our own military coming home from the wars and American citizens who love America and the Flag. Please, as a country, let’s smarten up before it is too late or all will be lost.

Defense Meeting?

The President is mad and wants to know how a disgruntled individual had gotten aboard an airliner with an alleged device in his shorts then the great rush to Marandize him and get him a lawyer.

With all the brains from our defense and security organizations drawn together but not talking to one another, they don’t share information.

After a long impasse they came up with an idea. Don’t let anyone fly on the planes and we won’t have to worry about anyone bringing anything on to a plane. All applauded. The head of Homeland Security, ‘airhead’ Janet Napolitano, even claimed that the planes would now be a lot lighter and would use a lot less fuel. Another ‘incompetent’ wants to use drone technology so they can delete the crews and do away with another worry.
