Porter Goss sworn in as new CIA chief

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON (AP) — In an Oval Office ceremony, Porter Goss was sworn in Friday to head the CIA and lead an intelligence community which has faced intense criticism for failures and faulty information prior to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the Iraq war.

Goss, 65, moved to the CIA from Congress where he represented southwest Florida in the House since 1989. The Senate approved his nomination on a 77-17 vote Wednesday over protests from some Democrats who said he had too many Republican ties for a job that requires independence.

A former CIA and Army intelligence officer during the 1960s, Goss is only the second congressman to lead the CIA, following former president and House member George H.W. Bush. Accompanied by his wife, Mariel, and other family members, Goss was sworn in by White House chief of staff Andy Card as President Bush stood nearby.

In addition to serving as CIA director, Goss assumes the dual role as head of a loose confederation of 14 other agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community.

We can rest easy now, knowing that we finally have a CIA chief who will stand up to any political pressure.

1. This guy admits

he is not qualified for the job and they swear him in anyway. Our government has no credibility.

2. Kerry'll be firing Goss once he's sworn in.

so the CIA hack only has 3 months to live.

3. Yes, but what will Heydrich Goss accomplish for his Fuhre before he goes?

An orgy of document shredding?

Further removal of the remaining, likely very small, "honest" faction of the CIA who place their loyalty to the Country, not the Imperial Family?

Reorganization of Intelligence Priorities to further reflect what the Imperial Family wants?

Further politicization of the Intelligence Service?

All this and more...

We can pray Little Heydrich is only there for 5 months (inauguration is in January), but knowing the ruthless cruelty and total moral bankruptcy of the Busheviks, one wonders...

4. Hopefully as soon as Pres. Kerry is sworn in, he'll fire him & launch an

..inquiry into any and all activities of Goss over the period of time he worked for der fuehrer....

5. I can't get over his comment

back during the breaking of the Novak/Plame/Wilson story. He said the call for an investigation of the Plame affair was partisan-driven and then said something like, "You show me a blue dress and I'll give you an investigation..."
That disgusting remark made it quite clear who he'd be working for - - and it's not the American people.
:scared:

6. If he isn't a good guy

why does Graham like him so much? I have a lot of respect for Graham.

7. Porter Goss + Patriot Act I + Patriot Act II = Gestapo.

8. For the record, Goss is a member of Book & Snake

Another secret society at Yale. Though the media seems to feel this is unworthy of notice.

But like Bush himself , Goss is a made man, so to speak, in the Elite Occult Groups that now run the usa.
