1. Terrific ...

Another CIA puke ... and one of the former top bananas (Directors) at that. :eyes:

I'm sure that all will be handled at the Defense Department with thoughtful knowledge of the need for Congressional Oversight. :sarcasm:

3. Still, he's not a PNAC booster

One step at a time. We've got them on the run, so this retrenchment will be amplified for a while.

It's only the first day after "The Wave". The next generation of political history is ours.
