Questions Obama must ask intel briefers to separate bullshit from reality
Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and presidential briefer posted some question he thought Obama should ask his intel briefers. This inspired me to come up with a list of question of my own, designed to separate the embarrassing, childish propaganda of the Bush administration from our real foreign policy goals and challenges, and send this email to McGovern:

I just read your article and had a couple of things that I would want the next president to know as well:

* How much of what we are doing in Central Asia is motivated by the "War on Terror" and how much is jockeying for control of the world's remaining oil reserves?

* To the extent that we are trying to monopolize the oil in the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea Basin, how much of that is for our national security and how much is strictly for the benefit of oil companies?

1. My first question would be "When do I get to see the UFO we have in that hangar?"

...but that's just me...

how 'bout, "Why was the Pentagon, ostensibly with about the most heavily protected airspace in the world, left unguarded on 9/11/01 even after we knew we were under attack?"
