National Idiots Estimate

Gracie the KittypunditSo the people responsible for making sure that America is protected from her enemies, foreign and domestic, are now saying that the Iranians stopped their nuclear weapons program in 2003. I’ve got a question: Why the hell should we believe the people that couldn’t find Al Qaeda if Osama bin Laden was standing behind them yelling “Die, infidel, in the name of Al Qaeda!”?

You know what I think? I think that the intelligence agencies need to be renamed the unintelligence agencies. It’s obvious that they need someone with more brains and cunning running the show than they’ve got now, or than they’ve had for the past ten or twenty years. That way, we wouldn’t keep hearing about all the so-called moderate Muslims who work with the government and intelligence agencies having ties to Hamas and Hezbollah. And oh, yeah, hiring a Hezbollah chick to work for the CIA? Brilliant. Freaking brilliant. Yeah, how’s that Muslim outreach program working for you, CIA? Having any luck with that? Did you ever think to maybe hire the military translators that get fired because they’re gay? (Of course, if the effing military didn’t fire people because they’re gay in the first place, that would be a much better solution, but hey, Clinton was too much of a chickenshit to make the bold move and force the military to allow gays to serve. But yeah, liberals, go vote for him and his wife again in ’08. ‘Cause it’s not like they won’t do it again.)

So now we have Mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad crowing victory, and the Mad Mullahs laughing in their beards, and the Iranians sitting, as they say, in the catbird’s seat.

What this country needs is someone smart in charge of their intelligence agencies. I say, hire a cat. We’re smarter than you.

    Yes, Gracie, I agree completely. You cats can tell friend from foe and know how to deal with the latter, a skill we humans seem to have forgotten.

    I’ll agree with a cat as President, but we’d better have some other species in the Cabinet and running our negotiations. Otherwise, the Russian foreign minister brings a laser pointer to the table, and before you know it they’ve got Alaska back.

    Definitely, DO NOT put my cat in charge. He’d be launching nuclear weapons at squirrel dens.

    A caller to Rush Limbaugh today made an interesting point about the NIE report. He pointed out that not only is what was released UNclassified, but the classified material on which it is based was only the lowest grades of classified information. The real information would be classified at such a high level that it would never be put into an NIE or released to people at the level of the authors of that document.

    The Wall Street Journal editorial has the following information.

    Our own “confidence” is not heightened by the fact that the NIE’s main authors include three former State Department officials with previous reputations as “hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials,” according to an intelligence source. They are Tom Fingar, formerly of the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research; Vann Van Diepen, the National Intelligence Officer for WMD; and Kenneth Brill, the former U.S. Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

    For a flavor of their political outlook, former Bush Administration antiproliferation official John Bolton recalls in his recent memoir that then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage “described Brill’s efforts in Vienna, or lack thereof, as ‘bull–.'” Mr. Brill was “retired” from the State Department by Colin Powell before being rehired, over considerable internal and public protest, as head of the National Counter-Proliferation Center by then-National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.
