Okay - that's just kinda sad. I'm not saying he's not qualified, but if someone who's a serious candidate is saying that then, well, you've got to ask yourself some serious questions. Like "exactly how bright is this dope?"

 

[CRitabe]

That's really scary!! I wonder if he told the person who called and offered him the job the same thing??

 

[La Bonita Zorilla]

The last time someone who was not an insider was nominated to head the CIA, it was former Kennedy aide Ted Sorenson by Jimmy Carter. Carter eventually pulled the nomination after sorenson's writings revealed he had pacifist tendencies. we'll never know if he would have been a reformer or not.

Washington does not want a reformer in that position. Goss is a true company man and will serve honorably, if incompetently. But he won't rock the boat, and that's what the insiders want.

He doesn't speak Arabic... doesn't understand Arab culture... and is lousy on the computer.

Gee... he's no better then a street sweeper!

Give me a break. I don't think you'll see the head of the CIA doing any undercover work in Arab countries anytime soon.

Well, one must consider the source-Moore. He is a lying propagandist who has the the character of a slug that lives in the dark under a rock.

No, the source is the guys own lips. Who he was interviewed by is very secondary to the fact that he said he wasn't fit on camera.

I agree, he might not be doing any undercover work in Arab countries in the position as Director, but I do not believe that we need anyone in any Intel position right now that does not understand the Arab culture. That is one of our big issues right now - Crusades??? Remember??

 

[Ave Maria]

Wow! That's just scary. I would think that Bush would do a little more research on people before he hires them.

 

[PrNcSsChRmNg91]

That's really scary.

Meaning, Moore put his hand up Goss's back, moved his fingers, made him move his mouth, and used his well known impressionist-ventriloquist skills to make Goss say something he did not mean?

Wow, that would explain a whole LOT of that movie...

Do you honestly believe that the head of the CIA should be 'fluent' on all cultures? Or do you think that he would make sure that those people who ARE fluent... are reporting to him.

BTW... I'm curious... does anyone know what 'artful' editing Moore did with the Goss interview?

I don't think moore could utilize his fingers for it appears his quest to be a lying FAT MAN require his chubby fat hands for the constant partaking of food items.

Ooh, him and Rush could have the lying fat man convention. It would be great. They could interview eachother "So Rush, how does it feel to be the first drug addict with his own radio show?" "Ok, Moore, and here's a shot of the White House pig."

I believe that the CIA Director most definately needs to be totally knowledgable (fluent) regarding Arab culture and specifically extremely well versed re Islam. With the global terror threat, we cannot afford to have someone in charge of intelligence that does not have a working knowledge of the very segment of the world population that is involved in this lethal activity. Our country has a tendency to have such an attitude of ethnocentricity; however, when we choose to be involved in Middle Eastern issues, we have to be able to communicate on their turf in my humble opinion.

 

[arnegrim]

So, when the threat moves to another culture... we need to find a new CIA director? Or perhaps multiple directors for each culture?

Hmmm, who knows. But I honestly don't see the Middle Eastern threat disappearing any time soon.

Well, that advanced the conversation....

Anyway, one possible explanation (besides Moore is slimy harlot who'se finger are too fat to work an edit machine) is that Goss was discussion being a CIA agent. Perhaps he feels he is not cut out to be a field agent. I don't know. I would like to hear more from him.
