1. Fighting fire with fire
With as many moles as Dubya planted in the government, I would rather Obama make like the new Don and purge those loyal to the old regime. Hmmm, maybe that's what he went to Moscow to talk to Vlad about.

We need them to do what they do. And sometimes that is ugly.

But we need them to do it with utmost restraint, and to do it for the right reasons.

I don't see why a gang of thugs and cutthroats like the CIA needs to continue. They seemed to have become more of a hit-squad for the oligarchy in recent decades...
