General David Petraeus sworn in as new CIA director

[eastariel]

Chief David, why are you saying, "So help me, God?"

You're supposed to say, "So help me, CIA soldiers." They're God's Earth angels. Remember? God works through them.

[ZorkFrobozz]

For decades, the CIA has been increasingly corrupted by filling its personnel with political stooges who're more concerned with their careers than with the agency's stated mission. Petraeus has not always shown a capacity to be honest and frank with Congress, when the truth would contradict Administration propaganda. Nonetheless, he is a better man than many recent chiefs, and FAR better than some.

I hope he tries to implement a plan to eradicate the foreign parasites infestating the Agency.

[ZorkFrobozz]

Maybe the new chief can save us from the horrific pain the US would permanently suffer, if Israel is successful in forcing us to militarily attack Iran for them. I really hope Petraeus' courage on this matter was essential in the reasoning behind his appointment.

Israel has nearly bled us dry in the last 11 years of forced multiple deployments, psychological trauma and death. Our national defense has weakened and the monetary system is in a crisis. Israel will slit our throats.

Save us, CIA!

Better man than Leon Panetta who is clueless.drive on SIR !

[eastariel]

Jeez, rocket man, you're going so fast that the world's having trouble keeping up with you.

You're confusing the chess players.

Keep up the good work, CIA soldier!

US is in military dictatorship.

When civilian positions are filled with army generals, and army generals dictate to the elected officials when to attack & when to withdraw, then this is military rule.

[dw053408]

@JesusChristMuslim idiot, thats why an officer of the US military must step down from his post within the military before he may assume a position in the CIVILIAN government of the United States. in case you didnt know, the United States' first president started out as its first supreme general.

[JesusChristMuslim]

No, right now the US Military is in command of US foreign policy and dictating political decisions to the ELECTED officials.

It only takes one general to kill a democracy. No one voted for the US Military brass to be the policemen, policymakers, and flag-bearers ...

And US is in troop-worship mode.... Somehow the military is the heart and soul of the American Empire, instead of the constitution, bill of rights, and war of independence ...

[dw053408]

@JesusChristMuslim sorry, but you are a nut. my response to your original comment still stands and your circular reasoning only shows how hollow your argument really is.

[eastariel]

David, you are a treasure to our world. Please surround yourself with bodyguards. The dark forces will probably try to take you from us. Please don't let them.

Is General David Petrraeus related to George St. Pierre ?

[yezidi11]

best jobb everr

[DannyBoy443]

@yezidi11 I wouldnt say best, but commanding black ops helicopters is pretty damned sweet if you ask me.

[yezidi11]

@DannyBoy443 aight

[TheDevenrocks]

So i have a question. What if your an athiest and you have to touch the bible when your sworn in? Do they do it different or you just suck it up and do it?

[Maplesyrup41]

general betrayus

[PanzerBlitz43]

In a way that makes sense.. recruit a terrorist to head a gang of terrorists.

[3leopardsblue]

i been studying nwo and the place of the cia in it ...if he is a real man he will fight it. but i think he may turn out to be a timeserver or a poodle of nwo. sure looks funny in a suit.

[DannyBoy443]

@3leopardsblue Not to sounds like a wonk, but it doesn't suit him. It's hard to imagine him being a soldier in the army or any armed forces. But to think that the CIA has a hand in the NWO would be ignorant and childish not to consider. I've heard lots of things about the CIAs role in the world, but who knows. what will happen.

[palparan2000]

wow! 1st time seeing him with a tie and a suit.

[otowilchestube]

In a parallel universe, Count Dooku just gave General Grievous a new post at the Republic

[otowilchestube]

aka as Count Dooku awards General Grievous a new post a the Republic

[SmokinJoeTrainer]

I just heard Petraeus tell a bold face lie. For about the 100th time. Someone put this man on trial.

[eastariel]

Dear David Eagle Scout,

I feel comfortable and safe knowing you're keeping your eagle eyes on the world. You will make an excellent CIA Chief.

(I had to give you a Native American name, Eagle Scout, to keep me from putting you up on a pedestal.)

I am at your service, sir. Please remember to ask all your American brothers and sisters out here to help the CIA keep an eye on things. The CIA is essential to the peace and safety of our nation. They're doing a great job.
