Bingo. Ozero did not like that coming out while he is trying to make nice with his leftist pals in the dem party. Some are really upset about the continued drone attacks.

Of course, since Ozero never answers to the free press no one will hear him answer a question on the subject and my sense tells me that anyone with the DNI title probably has the concept of keeping his mouth shut (lest he meet an untimely end in Fort Marcy Park)

Just as well, I don’t think he can be both Director of National Intelligence and president at the same time....

Maybe. My money is on a hard core Marxist who has a long history of fighting for "social justice."

Agreed.
Ubama wants somebody who will fit right in and can hit the ground running.

This does not sound to me like Ubama asked for his resignation. This sounds to me like Ubama's political people want it to LOOK LIKE Ubama asked for his resignation.

I think the guy got fed up and quit.

no question that Blair got marginalized. I'm guessing that it probably was mutual. FWIW..Judith Miller (if you trust her ) from Fox is reporting that Obama asked for Blair's resignation.

Yep, somebody who is already on the same page. As soon as he picks someone we research the heck out of them, save all files to hard drive and forward to Glenn Beck. With a little work and luck maybe we can get him/her s#*t-canned in under a week. ;-)

The Obamanation is reportedly leaning toward appointing either Bill Ayers or Bernadine Dohrn as the next DNI.

According to unnamed sources close to the White House, Ayers would be favored by some, but others in the WH believe that Dohrn could squeak through to the nomination ahead of her husband.

no other candidates are being considered.

/sarcasm

I basically do trust Judith Miller. Nevertheless, I would bet that this parting is mutual. "I quit." "You're fired."

I’ve long suspected that Obama only relied on seasoned people to get a feel for the roles and to allay suspicion.
Bingo. It will be some "underling" of Blaire's, who was in reality the Obama mole that was studying the position in preparation for taking over.

Wanted: 50something Gay female who attended Harvard.

More likely 50 something gay male, preferably Muslim.. The females have a supreme court nominee.

This was all an intellectual exercise when Barack was in school with no real-world repercussions. Surely it must be simple to run the planet, they thought.

Had it not been for all the patriots standing in the gap for the last 230-some years there would be no USA.

Someone had to bite the dust for the recent security failures.

Trying to reign in all the intel fiefdoms in this current climate is like trying to herd cats into a gunnysack.

The sophistcated set of issues is above his paygrade, and the rough men who stand ready know that.

“Yep, he had to go all right.”

The question is, will he man up and speak up once he’s out ?

Don’t recall; but don’t remember the name from then.
Wonder how hard it would be to get a bio on Blair?
