Senate confirms Hayden as CIA director By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer

After hearing assurances he will be independent of the Pentagon, the Senate on Friday easily confirmed Gen. Michael Hayden, a career Air Force man, to head the CIA.

Hayden, a four-star general, currently is the top deputy to National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.

Hayden, 61, would be the first active-duty or retired military officer to run the spy agency in 25 years. He was approved by a vote of 78-15.

"And while we are at it, lets designate 50% of gov't agencies for elimination. I'll start with HUD, BATF, Education, Commerce, and HLS."

Let's begin with the removal of the Dept. of Education and the RED national curriculi; remove teacher unions; tenure. Bring back textbooks of the 1940's; 1950's.

Those substantive text books, aside from meaningful information, stressed Patriotism; Duty to Country; Duties and Responsibilities of a Good Citizen.

An unsuspecting public has no clue regarding pulic school brain-washing and the "cloning of the american mind."

Just so you may get an idea why I want the Dept. of ED abolished, please go to the thread,

Remember all the articles saying how contentious his confirmation would be, given ____

I conclude that the crusty old media say this about everyone nominated by a Republican president for anything. Just fill in the blank for each candidate.

Now let's hope he cleans out all the leakers.

Don't count on it. According to the latest available (2005) annual report of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) he's listed as a member. Just like every CIA Director since the 1950's. He's a UN GLOBALIST folks! Count on him to do everything in his power to advance the agenda of the NWO.

Most of federal game playing agencies added since LBJ's time could be removed with no negative impact on the nation. In fact the removal would help our nation.

The school corrctions have to be done at the state, county and city levels. Get the federal government and left wing agendas out of the class rooms and stop using our tax $'s to push those left wing agendas.

"See there! I told everyone to Vote for Goldwater:-)!!!!!"

My wife and I did as well as our parents. Unfortunately we were several million votes away. People voted for LBJ because they were afraid that Goldwater would get us into a serious war.

Hayden background makes him a great chance, the type of person the organisations especially with the Dem rats infesting the organisation.

DCIA is an Executive Branch appointment.
Comrade Rodham wouldn't keep General Hayden.
