You are absolutely correct. We need an Intelligence Czar independent of
the White House.
In case you forgot, we used to have a domestic Intelligence Czar just
like the one the 9/11 Commission wants to return to power.
John Kerry wants to bring back J. Edgar Hoover and his buddy, "I have a
list," McCarthy.
J. Edgar was nominated by Multiple presidents and confirmed
overwhelmingly by the Congress each time -- nobody ever opposed either
his re-nomination or his confirmation. He had files on them, and he had
the power to investigate them just on his "suspicions."
This is what John Kerry wants to bring back.
And Kerry wants to strip all authority and funding for Intelligence
from every other branch of government to concentrate it in this one
person.
Doesn't that make you feel safer?
Prior to the Patriot Act, which Democratic Partisans constantly
denigrate, the FBI and the CIA were prohibited BY CONGRESS from sharing
intelligence information. Analysts were prohibited from passing along
information between agencies. Only the Director of the FBI and the
Director of the CIA were allowed to talk to each other.
And we have the fact that Congress has made law the definition that
ONLY the Director of the CIA can advise the President of the United
States on Security Matters.
Yes, the Kerry implementation of the 9/11 Commission recommendations
has a lot of scary implications for individual liberty.
At the DNC Convention last week, Kerry called for another 40,000 troops
in the Army. ... but he didn't dare explain where they would come from.
If opposition to Bush's invasion of Iraq is half as widespread as
people think, do you REALLY believe that 40,000 18 year olds will
suddenly enlist in the Army for Kerry. ... or is Kerry planning to
re-institute the Draft. Only calling it "National Service."
Kerry talks about the lessons he learned in the War. ??? Huh?
Kerry was a Captain of a Swift Boat. If he were in the Army that would
have meant he was a 2nd Lieutenant acting as a Forward Observer. An
expendable "grunt."
What were the lessons he learned about war? He had zero involvement in
any kind of Strategic planning -- he did what he was told. He was at
the bottom of the chain of command, not the top. His involvement in
the war was strictly tactical -- deciding which way to point his
machine guns.
Now, we all know, don't we, that purple hearts were awarded for ANY
injury in the war zone, not only for wounds from enemy fire. And we all
know, official Policy at the time was -- 3 purple hearts and you were
eligible to "ship out." Kerry spent a total of 4 and one half MONTHS
(not years) in Vietnam -- when he got his 3rd purple heart he left.
Since the Convention, Kerry has stated he will withdraw all American
troops from Iraq in his first year. He thinks that he is "suddenly"
going to get his secret foreign advisors to send troops from their
countries to replace them. Right, even if Kerry gives France all of
Iraq's oil (which IS their quid-pro-quo) they are going to send troops
... France's entire standing army is not as large as the US contingent
in Iraq. Ok so he also takes orders from Germany and Russia, and they
are the ones who are going to send troops in exchange for the Spoils of
the Iraq War which George Bush has denied them.
[Ever wonder why the UN has failed to even repudiate, let alone
investigate the Charges that France and the UN P R O F I T E D
directly from the Iraqi Oil for Food program?]
In his "Sunday after" News program interviews, he repeatedly refused to
"tip his hand" as to what he would do to end the "Iraq problem." (Three
different networks news shows that I saw asked the same question, and
he refused to answer all three.) Why? Was he afraid that Bush would
beat him to the punch and do the same thing? Or was he afraid that the
American Public would repudiate his views as quickly as they repudiated
Jane Fonda for visiting Hanoi?
In his interview with Tom Brokow before the Convention, Kerry made it
clear that he would regain the support of France, Germany and Russia by
sharing the spoils of the Iraq war with them. Note that when Kerry
talks about US Allies, they are the only three "allies" with any
capacity at all to "make a difference," who have not been supporting
the US.
