ARTICLE: CIA Had Program to Kill Al-Qaeda Leaders, By Joby Warrick and Ben Pershing, Washington Post, July 14, 2009
You're kidding! The CIA had a secret program to kill Al Qaeda seniors!
OMYGOD!
Of course the CIA had such a program, and there really was no secret as to our intent, so why doesn't Bush-Cheney seek the oversight? I mean, geez, who exactly is going to vote against that one?
But now we're faced with the stupidity of Panetta feeling like he has to kill the program because of past oversight issues, and the Repubs go after Pelosi for "lies" and the Dems now hound Panetta for the same. Talk about a completely useless, political drill.
The Boomers continue to suck as the worst political generation of legislators in arguably a century or more. God save us from these idiots.
But the initial mistake comes right out of my seven deadly sins bit from Great Powers: Bush-Cheney weren't into asking or seeking consensus. They were into amassing power in the presidency during wartime.
And so we end up with "scandals" like this. Again, shame on everybody for wasting our time and resources and CIA.
