ORIGINAL: BamaD Both Carter and Clinton came in talking about how "moral" our forgien policy would be. To prove it they blinded our intellegence comunity and persuaded our enemies that we would not fight back if attacked. This is what scares me about Obama's stance on morality. Besides POWs have no constitutional rights, check any war we or anyone else has fought. "Homeland was repeatedly discussed from May to August" "you acknowledged that al-queda cells were in the United States" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIpEwGmSsmM Aug 6,2001 PDB -----"bin-laden determined to attack in the United States" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then that clown made her Secretary of State ! Talk about rewarding failure!!!! Imagine our enemies thinking,"we just successfully attacked them and the stooge who drooped the ball got a promotion and pay raise". What better way to say,"attack us"? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any examples of how Carter or Clinton "blinded our intelligence community". And when Clinton sent Cruse Missiles deep into Afghanistan to takeout bin-laden,what did the republicans do? They cheered" No war for Monica!No war for Monica! I couldn`t think of a better way to tell our enemies to attack us.As soon as a dem POTUS takes action,republicans respond by trying to stop him!! History`s a bitch,isn`t it? In the 1970's it wasn't just Carter, but the democratic Congress that set upon the C.I.A. and demoralized that agency with constant hearings and commissions. Carter put the nail on the coffin, the weakest President in the 20th Century, Carter bowed to Congress who shoved FISA down his throat. Jimmy Carter's lack of understanding and inexperience in foreign affairs planted the seeds for a great deal of the problems we see today. Carter believed in "technology" not in people. After first considering Ted Sorenson to head the C.I.A. Carter changed his mind when stories resurfaced about Sorenson stealing classified papers probably to protect the Kennedy's (Sound familiar..sound like Sandy Berger??) You remember Sorenson, he was the bright young speech writer for JFK. Carter appointed nutcase "Turner who treated the CIA as if it were a political organization. He drove out CIA staffers and brought in his own team of naval officers who buffered him from agency professionals. He also cut human resources, abolishing 820 positions, and devoted more resources to electronic and high-tech surveillance. This approach was partially discredited when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, much to Carter’s surprise, and the Shah was topple' and replaced by Khomeini, whose regime quickly took American hostages and precipitated a prolonged crisis. Many argue that this episode marks the true beginning of our current war with Islamic radicals." Quotation from link below: http://www.snapshield.com/www_problems/United_States/Americas%20Security.htm Jimmy Carter was responsible for removing our agents and their sources "on the ground" in the mideast and blinded our C.I.A. which had to depend on the Israeli and U.K. intel people. I remember Clinton sending off missiles that destroyed a "milk factory" during the Lewinsky disgrace, wagging the dog, and it's not the movie I'm referring too! The operatives who hit the Towers on 9/11 were in-country training during the Clinton BJ administration. Billy was seriously anti military, as is Obama, and reduced the army from 18 to 10 divisions so money could be taken from defense to fund his pet social programs. And now we have Barack appointing Panetta to head the C.I.A., another management type guy like Admiral Turner with no experience in the intelligence community and an outsider to everyone in the agency. And what's with Obama treating Hillary like dog dirt...the President has Mitchell in the mideast, Holbrook going somewhere else, Joe Biden discussing Afganistan and the casualties we can expect (good news for parents and spouses of soldiers) doing the work of a "Secretary of State". Why the hell did Hillary take that job. She has be painted into a corner by Barack...I don't think she will last the year as Secty of State. The Statue of Liberty should be holding a sign welcoming new arrivals "Please tighten safety belts, the path ahead is very uncertain).
