I sit down with a hot cup of tea and curl up with a great movie for women. This is my favorite time of the day and I wouldn’t have it without Comcast digital cable….

That’ll piss off the left.

Goss and Negroponte were at odds with each other and out goes Goss.

I’ve read that Goss may try to unseat the spineless Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) since Katherine Harris is in an uphill battle to do so. Nelson “represents” my state and I’d like nothing better than to see this coward tossed overboard.

Michael Hayden being mentioned as a possible replacement for Goss will be met with severe resistance by the leftwing media and the demonRATS. If they’re against him, then I’m all for him.

The hot rumor overnight is that Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence and former NSA head Michael Hayden is the leading candidate to replace suddenly ousted Porter Goss as CIA Director (Note: Not as DCI; that second hat was stripped when t…

Of course Johnson always paints the (old) CIA in the best light. He and his agency buddies try to contain who was involved with the hookers and bribes.

When I first heard that CIA Director Porter Goss was resigning, I could not believe it. He was nominated less then 2 years ago and we knew he was planning to make some big changes. To ensure the CIA could better protect Americans. Then he abruptly …

As I figured, I’m swamped today but just got the MSNBC news alert that CIA Director Porter Goss has resigned. Via AP:
WASHINGTON – CIA Director Porter Goss is resigning, President Bush said Friday.
Bush called Goss’ tenure one of transition. …

I’m thinking that he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He knew that he could not be effective at the CIA because he did not have the backing of his subordinates and he did not have that backing of his superior because he was not being aggressive enough.

According to CBS News. Over “tensions” between Goss and Negroponte, and of course between Goss and the liberal leak machine we call the CIA. All recapped by Allah. Jpod notes what several commenters have noted here– that it’s pretty unlikely……

Yep. We don’t know much, but we DO know is quite curious.

1. There’s lots of speculation, but the real reason seems to be VERY tightly held. That is quite unusual.

2. The head of the CIA does NOT step down this way if everything is normal. You don’t even leave a civilian job this way if everything is normal. The manner of leaving was very, very strange.

3. A turf war is very unlikely to result in a departure as sudden resignations as this. The deposed person is eased out much more gracefully.

4. If Goss had done something horrible the President would be quite foolish to be with him when the announcement was made. Personally, I think this rules out the “Goss did something horrible” scenario.

So what’s left?

It’s speculation, but there is at least one very clear possibility: A MAJOR policy dispute about something very big and very recent.

Did Porter Goss disagree about something very important and very short term? If so, it would have to be awfully big to justify a departure this abrupt and this unexplained.

He was not selected to be DNI, and this had to be a hugh disappointment…maybe even an ego hit. Especially when power began to be carved out of his responsibilities and eaten up by the DNI, e.g. daily briefings.

Or maybe he is 67 years old, spent years as a public servant, and is just tired of all the inside the beltway lunacy.

There’s got to be more to this story than meets the eye. Goss was brought in to clean house, and he’s only just got the vacuum out of the closet.

DC is starting to smell really badly. I think the blood of patriots is going to be required before too long.

If we haven’t already thrown ourselves down before Islam, that is.

Mu.Nu is down, but the blogging never stops.
