The Cost of Criminalized Intelligence

The CIA needs to be cleansed of all of the liberal academics running it.....right after we kick Obama out of the White House.

...Army major general, Singlaub

...this man was a living legend in the Special Forces community during VietNam...he was the father of the Studies and Observations Group(MACV-SOG)...they ran recon teams ‘across the wire’ i.e. into Laos and Cambodia along the Ho Chi Mihn trail...they were the bravest of the brave and were very effective in gathering NVA intel.

Jimmy Carter

A man so desperate to be loved by everyone, that he insisted we all call him Jimmy instead of by his real name James.

Jimmy

Is this not the name of a young child?

Hey, thanks Jimmy !!!!!!!!!!!

Great move! Way to go!

At the rate Obama and Holder are going they will be more of a real threat to our intelligence communty (the real workers, not the political rear echelon types) than Philip Agee ever was.
