Intelligence Czar

[raggage]

If the so called Intelligence Czar position is created, and is a cabinet level position under a Kerry administration, who do you think would likely hold the post?

I've heard a few names bandied about, including J. Robert Mueller, and my big boss William Bratton?

Any ideas?

How about Michael Moore?  That ought to make you guys happy?

I'm sure he'd do better than Bush's administration has!

Ok, well maybe not Michael Moore, but partisan feeling aside, it was George W Bush's fault, or more correctly that of his administration which allowed the United States to get to the precarious position it is in, and has been in since 2001.

 Bush allowed a tragedy to happen on his watch, through bad organisation, plain and simple.

As for my earlier comment, take it more of as an Anybody but Bush statement. It matters not whether one is republican or democrat, the point is Bush screwed up. Hell, I'd trust Rick Santorum to keep America 'safe' more than I would G.W.... (don't tell Keystone Phil I said that)

What I don't understand is why the Republicans on this board level absolutely no blame on the president is beyond me.

If this had happened on Clintons watch, who mind you wasn't much better prepared, I'd be just as angry.

OK Nothing happened under Clintons watch right? The World Trade Towers, Oklahoma, Kobar embassy buildings, Mogadishu, Rawanda, Bosnia, USS Cole. Need I really continue on? So far under Bush, 9/11. Who's done a more successful job in you opinion?

No, intelligence failures did happen on Clinton's watch. But you can't seriously compare those events to the catastrophic scale of 9/11... and if you do you are deluded.
