Does the Goss ouster have something to do with Iran

[joemurphy]

Insuring a more docile, cooperative CIA for an October surprise involving Iran?

Just speculating.

Iran, of course, is a phony emergency. We have more than 3 years to deal with Iran. Let's save that problem for another administration. Bush has no credibility or competence to deal anything. I wouldn't trust him with buying a chew-toy for his dog Barney. He'd find some way to bungle that too.

1. Not unless Iran is a hooker, more likely Irene or Ira. n/t

2. Goss Was In Charge Of Keeping the CIA Docile. He Conducted a Massive Purge

But Goss got caught with his pants down at the WATERGATE.

3. It sure has all the ear marks......A must read.

Read it Here

Reagan came down hard on central America, in effect letting his administration's most committed militarists set and execute policy. In El Salvador, they provided more than a million dollars a day to fund a lethal counter-insurgency campaign . . . All told, US allies in central America during Reagan's two terms killed over 300,000 people, tortured hundreds of thousands and drove millions into exile."


Although the Reagan administration spawned the current Bushites, or "neo-cons", the pattern was set earlier. In Vietnam, death squads trained, armed and directed by the CIA murdered up to 50,000 people in Operation Phoenix. In the mid-1960s in Indonesia CIA officers compiled "death lists" for General Suharto's killing spree during his seizure of power. After the 2003 invasion, it was only a matter of time before this venerable "policy" was applied in Iraq.

4. had the same thought

Goss had a sudden attack of ethics and is refusing to cherry-pick intel for the bushies regarding Iran?

5. Just Asked

I just asked the same question on another post. I am thinking that it might. To some degree I think the Bush Administration thought Goss due to his lack of qualifications would be willing to do what he was told. I think when it came to Iran he (Goss) was not willing to tow the line and push for war. It will be interesting to see what the line on Iran will be in the coming months.
