I Ran the C.I.A. Now I’m Endorsing Hillary Clinton.

[jillian]

This should make any principled person refuse to vote for the reality show host

"During a 33-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency, I served presidents of both parties — three Republicans and three Democrats. I was at President George W. Bush’s side when we were attacked on Sept. 11; as deputy director of the agency, I was with President Obama when we killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.


I am neither a registered Democrat nor a registered Republican. In my 40 years of voting, I have pulled the lever for candidates of both parties. As a government official, I have always been silent about my preference for president.


No longer. On Nov. 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Between now and then, I will do everything I can to ensure that she is elected as our 45th president.


Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision. First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.


I spent four years working with Mrs. Clinton when she was secretary of state, most often in the White House Situation Room. In these critically important meetings, I found her to be prepared, detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument.

I also saw the secretary’s commitment to our nation’s security; her belief that America is an exceptional nation that must lead in the world for the country to remain secure and prosperous; her understanding that diplomacy can be effective only if the country is perceived as willing and able to use force if necessary; and, most important, her capacity to make the most difficult decision of all — whether to put young American women and men in harm’s way."

Thanks for the morning chuckle Jilly. How is Trump unqualified? He is basing it on his opinion about future events he envisions. Hillary has screwed up foreign policy left and right and has massive ethical and professional problems weighing her down.

His priorities are as fucked up as yours and Hillary's.

Here, here. Hillary has done a masterful job as Secretary of State with Libya, Syria, and Iraq.

We can all rest well at night knowing that she is busy sending e-mails to ensure our safety.

 

[Freewill]

So now the left is throwing in with the CIA. The CIA that let us down on 9/11. The CIA that authors kill lists for Obama. The same CIA that Hillary's server put in danger. Ok so now the left is in love with the CIA, I have now officially heard everything.

Whites And Men Flee Donald Trump As Hillary Clinton Opens Up A Massive 15 Point Lead



again, address the o/p,

Apparently he doesn't care that the Director of the FBI said without doubt, that Hillary's server put CIA lives in danger. One would think that would be enough for him but no he apparently doesn't care that much. I read his bio and apparently he never had to work undercover so being put at risk might not mean that much to him.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Mr. Trump has also undermined security with his call for barring Muslims from entering the country. This position, which so clearly contradicts the foundational values of our nation, plays into the hands of the jihadist narrative that our fight against terrorism is a war between religions.


Carter did this and no one batted an eye, but now it's making us less safe

pfft


sorry, this just reaks of bs

so he's a politician, not and agent.

thanks, clears a lot up

Anyone who would support Clinton for president at this time in history is either a Democrat (whether admitted or not), or bovine ignorant.

Hillary is the unstable pathlogical liar. The difference that she already put the nation at risk and you assume Trump would.

You make a very interesting point------the difference between
our candidates is clear------Hillary has already shown her talents as a policy making political leader, Trump has not.
Considering the nature of Hillary's talent----I am more than
willing to take a chance with someone else----ANYTHING ELSE.
