Pelosi taking 'wrecking ball' to CIA morale, Hoekstra says

In disparaging the CIA and accusing the agency of lying last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become a "wrecking ball" to the morale of officers risking their lives in the field, the top Republican on the House intelligence committee said Tuesday.

Rep. Peter Hoekstra, Michigan Republican, also told The Washington Times he thinks that President Obama will not be able to keep his promise to close the detention facility for terrorism suspects at the U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by January, saying the president has come to realize that other countries won't take the detainees and that the detainees are too dangerous to house in the U.S.

Mr. Hoekstra's comments came as Senate Democrats broke with Mr. Obama over funds to close the detention camp, refusing to bankroll the project until the White House presents a plan for relocating hundreds of terrorism suspects imprisoned there.

San Fran Nan’s obession to get Bush, getting caught lying and then trashing Panetta and Co. is proving to be a tipping point for 0. When you add in Israel (which just bombed Hamas poisitions), it is all starting to unravel 0.

Given that we have handed control of our country to people with disordered minds, I hope and pray that we will still have a country in four years. Talk about a nation of mind-numbed robots voting for more taxes for us so they can get more bennies, the undermining of the infrastructure that protects us from those who mean to do harm is far more dangerous and risky. I hope we survive because we are less safe than we were under Bush.

IMO Obama and the rest of congress knows the the CIA knows all about them. They don’t want to wave the red flag in their own direction.

Or Someone wants to remove Nanc P from her position as third in line to the thrown...and they are all compliant.

Wondering if the CIA requires that members of congress signoff acknowledging that they understand the briefings they receive. If not they should require it and any that do not want to signoff will not be briefed.

It must be upsetting when a Party leader targets their own loyal comrades. That is the thing about Marxists. They go after the useful idiots first.
