@thesparitan ...only problem is that his facts are way off in the first video. Steel requires a much higher temperature to weaken than he said it does, by at least 500 more degrees... and all of the evidence shows that the fires weren't burning at that high of a temperature nor were they exposed to enough of the structure to take it down.

Do your own research on this shit instead of letting someone else do it for you.

@iowntwocats

So tell me what you think it means by guiodance and dfirection.

The fourth sentence mentions that the cia doesn't maker policy..

Iif they don't make policy and policy comes fron the State Department then wouldn't you say they have some form of control

I was responding to someone who indicated Hillary should have been elected

I was trying to say that she is in agreement with the way the CIA and if she were President the CIA would operate just the way it is doing now.

@bornbillsmith Who oversee's the CIA? This is the one that caught my eye. I'm too lazy so if I missed something lemme know. this is what it says.

Internally, the CIA Office of Inspector General performs independent audits, inspections, investigations, and reviews of CIA programs and operations, and seeks to detect and deter fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement

It doesnt say sec of state has to ok anything. It says the NSC, those u mentioned, provide "guidance"

[bornbillsmith]

@iowntwocats Go to the cia web site left hand corner click on (about cia) and then click on( faq)

and go to paragraph 10

I checked different places and then it occured to me the best place to get the information you want would be on the cia web page

In that paragraph it states The President Vice President The Secretary of State and The Secretary of Defence provides guidance and direction.

Read the entire paragraph and tell me if I'm right and tell me if I'm talking out of my ass.

Obama has been an (absolute) extension of the previous administration..., Even after the bad intelligence & 1.2 million deaths.., The obama administration "left the *same* Bush players (operators) in the field... According to the PBS Frontline special, Domestically the tax payers have no clue what provisions homeland security, the pentagon, have made for themselves...

@bornbillsmith No, I want evidence, not flimsy logic!
