In what has to be the biggest understatement ever produced by a government funded study, the CIA, in an internal agency report, found that, “the agency and its officers did not discharge their responsibilities in a satisfactory manner," with regard to pre 9/11 intelligence. Gee what was the first clue? The 3,000 dead Americans? The wreckage at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or Shanksville?
I’ll be darned. Six year after 9/11, highly paid government officials issue a report that cost tax payers 100s of thousands of dollars and they arrive at the exact same conclusions that Ned the wino and Joe sh*& the rag man came to while sharing a bottle of MD 20/20 fifteen minutes after the first plane hit the WTC. The CIA screwed up. Who knew? Who could have even imagined such a thing?
Well Frank Church for one. He’s the assbag politician whose name is attached the legislation that went about neutering the CIA after Watergate in 1975. Now that the politicians handiwork is done, they line up to fix blame on the CIA– the very organization that the politicians did their best to destroy; the military – always fair game for creepy pols like Harry Reid; the Republican administration – not the Dems who built the wall between intelligence agencies making it illegal for them to share information. Dems are demanding accountability for 9/11 and are willing to point the finger of blame at everyone but at themselves. And it is they who are most culpable.
Even with perfect intelligence and the will to do something about al Qaeda, the CIA had to know that if they had whacked bin Laden in Afghanistan before 9/11, a bloated half drunk Teddy Kennedy and half a dozen other craven Dems would have been frothing at the mouth demanding that heads at the CIA roll for their “illegal actions.” If it were a Republican president in office at the time, calls for impeachment would have been immediate. Were it Clinton, the buck would have been passed to the CIA Director a la Janet Reno at Wako. The Dems would then roll happily along destroying the CIA Director and issuing new rules to further hamper the CIA in their mission to protect the American people – then raise holy he*& when the inevitable disaster occurs as a result of their boneheaded Polly Anna approach to dealing with a nasty world.
