Discrediting our Intelligence Agency makes the country safer?!
Edited on Mon Jul-14-03 10:55 PM by ibegurpard
:wtf:

If the emperor was serious about security, I think he would search for ANY other explanation for the SOTU fiasco, even if it WAS the fault of intelligence. How does it engender confidence in the security of this country to blame the CIA for lies that end up in your justification for unilateral attacks on other countries? Wouldn't that put any future information coming from the CIA into doubt and thus put us into more danger if that information is ignored? For that reason alone, I have to wonder what the fuck these idiots are thinking.

2. It's never been about national security with this administration.
It's always been about personal security.

3. Exactly!
And the fact that they are willing to risk the credibility of the CIA just makes it that much more obvious.
