Porter Goss goes off the deep end
This is an interview of Goss in Time:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1074084,00.html

WHEN WILL WE GET OSAMA BIN LADEN? That is a question that goes far deeper than you know. In the chain that you need to successfully wrap up the war on terror, we have some weak links. And I find that until we strengthen all the links, we're probably not going to be able to bring Mr. bin Laden to justice. We are making very good progress on it. But when you go to the very difficult question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, you're dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play. We have to find a way to work in a conventional world in unconventional ways that are acceptable to the international community.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE HE IS. WHERE? I have an excellent idea of where he is. What's the next question?

VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY HAS SAID THE IRAQ INSURGENCY IS IN ITS LAST THROES. IS THAT YOUR READ? I think they're not quite in the last throes, but I think they are very close to it. And I think that every day that goes by in Iraq where they have their own government and it's moving forward reinforces just how radical are and how unwanted they are.

COULD THE U.S. GO TO WAR AGAIN BASED ON FALSE INTELLIGENCE? I would not agree to surmise that America has gone to war based on false intelligence. I would say that the right question is: Should America be checking out threats to America? The answer is yes. And will we find some threats were more talk than real? Yes, we will.

1. Porter Goss is nothing more than a terrorist, one of the goons he's
trying to make us believe that he's protecting us from. And he has a goon's mentality. Dull, obtuse, vicious, violent, petty, and dishonest.

3. A Nut Bag
This man is another nut bag that should be locked up for making such dangerous statements. How irresponsible and childish.

Reiteration: "We should all feel threatened by the world around us and start looking for possible enemies everywhere!"

Great idea asshole!:sarcasm:

4. His answer to the first question is pure BS
His request in his second reply for another question should have been met with, "So why haven't you caught him yet?"

His third reply is more Bush Junta Pollyanna-ism

In the fourth question he is essentially saying that the DSM is a lie

5. And another thing....
Time has the time to ask him about his organic gardening, but there is not a single question about the DSM.

7. Putin must have laughed his ass off when Goss got appointed.
He certainly won't be easy for Chertof or the Mossad to fool.:sarcasm:
