    The CIA is the lefts target #1 or 2 and the mere fact that Obama is leaning on them so much to fight his war is a little bit of irony , God bless em ,they are walking a tight rope of haters and the real possibly of being charged with war crimes by the nuts working for Obama and necessary work to further US interests.

    Yes, obama is well aware that he is castrating the CIA.

    This started with "Peanut Boy" Carter back in the 1970s.

    ONE TERM.

    To Don B, the disinformationist: Your buddy CLINTON FAILED TO KILL BIN LADEN on THREE OCCASIONS WHEN THE CIA LOCATED HIM.

    The blood of those killed on 9/11 is on CLINTON'S HANDS.

    The blood of those 250,00 killed in the former Yugoslavia is on his hands as well because he did NOTHING.

    The blood of ONE MILLION Rwandan's is on Clinton's hands as well.

    FACE THE TRUTH FOR ONCE!.
