#3 All theatre. I am almost sure they really just laughed and laughed about Benghazi, IRS investigation, Iran and a few knee slappers about beheadings.

#7 "Former FBI Islam expert John Guandolo has long warned that the federal government is being infiltrated by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood. But Guandolo now warns that by appointing Brennan to CIA director, Obama has not only chosen a man “naïve” to these infiltrations, but also picked a candidate who is himself a Muslim.

“Mr. Brennan did convert to Islam when he served in an official capacity on the behalf of the United States in Saudi Arabia,” Guandolo told interviewer and radio host Tom Trento.

“That fact alone is not what is most disturbing,” Guandolo continued. “His conversion to Islam was the culmination of a counterintelligence operation against him to recruit him. The fact that foreign intelligence service operatives recruited Mr. Brennan when he was in a very sensitive and senior U.S. government position in a foreign country means that he either [is] a traitor … [or] he has the inability to discern and understand how to walk in those kinds of environments, which makes him completely unfit to the be the director of Central Intelligence.”"

#8 Well for starters:

Arrest him.

Cut the CIA budget in half.

If they don't comply, arrest the next man down and cut the budget in half again.

Rinse and repeat.

#12 And the CIA probably has enough on every key Cogresscritter to ensue that the budget cuts will never cut deeply enough to really hurt.

#13 This is the same guy who cleaned up the State Dept. passport office mess [contractors looking at Champ's passport data]. Same guy who stood behind the curtain at the WH during Benghazi, then became the DCI. He's bad juju. Get rid of him NOW !
