Biased?

Jusdging by the article, the folks at CIA have plenty of respect for Bush....

Senator Obama knows & respects the CIA much more Mr. Bush & senator McCain combined. He will listen to their recommedations unlike Mr. Bush who ignord CIA advice

CIA Loves "BUSH"

George W Bush really showed the CIA that he cares about them in his recent visit.

George "W" Bush at CIA

By staying at the CIA two hours longer than scheduled "Bush" really showed his appriciation to all the CIA employees! Are President is dam good man.

A CIA Standing-O for President Bush

Barak is probably a good man. I'm sure he's being pulled apart by his backers. He certainly makes good presentation. As far as CIA is concerned, if Islamic terrorism doesn't make you appreciate the CIA AND George Bush, maybe that paranoid grizzly bear striking FEAR in Europe might. One day PUTIN, you will learn the difference between RESPECT, AND FEAR.

GO CIA !!!

Obama's great respect for our armed forces?

This was emailed to me.

Read and consider how much respect Obama has for our soldiers.

No. Not kidding, Mike. Barack has far more respect for the armed forces and the intelligence services than Bush and McCain put together. Ask some of the families.

Are you kidding? Barack would never be seen there. His followers think the CIA is nothing but a bunch of torturers.

Barack Obama would also be gracious and appreciative to the people of the CIA ----without "owning them" (author's words).

Time for party change. The CIA will neither fall apart nor revolt.
