The CIA has made it into several comments on this thread. The obama vs. the CIA, the Bush Presidencies being treated so differently by the Company, it’s all very challenging to understand. For what it’s worth.

The current pretender to the presidency is dealing with real danger given his pro Islamic positions. Inside the Company there are very few following that path for they know who the enemy is. Let’s continue.

W with his two terms, his father with one, and the Duke with two terms mean that in the last 28 years only Slick Willie had eight years to hire and get into place young men and women who agreed with his fantasy world positions. I can say that although the Company is now more liberal than it was during my time inside the numbers who came on board and worked for RWR, G.H.W.B., and W are far more attuned to the true nature of intelligence dangers as opposed to the granola crowd of Willie and Bambi. Those oldest members of the conservative faction of the Republican Presidents are nearing retirement, within their 28th year. Below them are layers of ages in time of service most of who are conservative and once again know our true enemies. They are not going to make it easy on obama, nor should they.

Have there been additional layers of intelligence added since 9/11, yes, but it takes decades for an espirit de corps to develop and they don’t have the gravitas yet to be taken seriously within the intelligence community.

If obama pushes too hard the push back can be perilous for him. He has already ruined the lives of many operational wet works people who are simply squatting in the weeds, waiting until the time is right. He would do well to temper his entire agenda. He won’t however for he has bought into his own press clippings. Hubris has a very steep price which I have no doubt he’ll learn in earnest before the mid term elections or shortly thereafter. Since he’s in league with our traditional enemies and is playing with the wrong people his tenure is precarious.
