MSNBC: Bush I the best CIA Director

[dennis4868]

WTF?

Wasn't he CIA director for 10 minutes? If so, how can it be said that he is the best and most effecetive director we ever had?

1. If by best you mean, most willing to do anything his power elite overlords

ordered him to do, then I concur. You don't get to be the head of the Carlyle Group by not running a few (hundred) history changing black ops.

2. A little under a year

30 January 1976–20 January 1977.

But nobody holds a candle to Wild Bill Donovan. Full-blown batshit crazy and in charge.

3. OKAY.....

under a year....anyone know the facts about Bush's time in the CIA? Just dont see how MSNBC can go on saying he was the best when he was there for such a short period of time....

6. Try here

Can't testify as to objectivity or which way it leans, but skimming it, it mentions Skull & Bones, so it should be at least interesting...

4. Oh definitely!

Let's keep the Bushes in the high intelligence areas - like we need more shit to cover up.... uh-huh

5. Well, he was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963

That's gotta qualify him for something.
