Those touchy-feely politicians are weighing in on what may be the president’s next choice for head of the CIA — former Air force general Michael Hayden. This comes in the wake of the surprise abdication of the intelligence throne by Peter Goss earlier in the week.
Apparently, some politicians — on both sides of the aisle — think having an ex-military man in charge of the CIA “sends the wrong message” to the spooks in the field. That message being that the Pentagon controls Langley. Uh, Senator …
Besides, Hayden’s ex-Air Force, and thus had nothing to do with the military (just kidding, General).
So what is this really about?
Well, as Michael Coreleone said of Tom HAGEN (aha, a sinister plot! Note the name similarity? Plus, Sterling HAYDEN played General Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove! Double aha!) in The Godfather: “He’s not a wartime consigliere.”
Good luck General Hayden in your dealings with “the fools on the hill.”
Nuke Iran.
