#1 Has he had any kind of thought at all since 1985?

What about before 1985?

#2 ...Keep in mind that Clapper isn't the head of US intelligence, no matter what the job description says. He's an empty suit who turned out to be even emptier than the White House thought. That job falls to Leon Panetta, who runs the CIA. The reason HE got THAT job is that he is a ruthless Democratic politician that will make DAMNED sure the CIA never does to Obama what it did to Dubya.

#3 Good view of Panetta. Love to find out what the NIE release guys got for their troubles. Big bucks, is my guess. Not this time.
Thing is, with guys like Clapper, what they don't know they can't tell zero and what zero doesn't know he doesn't have to think about, decide, and take responsibility for.
Ideal pick for the job.

#4 Obummer has surrounded himself with pogue ciphers who are even more inept than their boss. Must really suck to be in government at this time.

#5 Mike nails it. The Dhimmicrats may not know national security, but political security? That they know.

#6 John, my ex works at NCTC (National Counterterrorism Center). Every time we talk, he says it really sucks. He literally bumped into Clapper in the lobby a few weeks ago. I asked if it knocked some sense into him. Apparently not, but it does seem that he shows up and tries to look busy.
