#4 Of course, there's no plan for who's going to take over afterwards. How many times has the CIA murdered someone only to have a worse situation emerge?

It's because they're not that smart. They don't think that far ahead. They just fixate on the immediate goal and think, "oh this will solve all our problems."

#5 Let's be honest, the Daily Mail is more reliable a source than the CIA these days.

#6 Ref #4: They just fixate on the immediate goal and think, "oh this will solve all our problems."

I could be wrong, but I believe the term you are searching for is... political expediency.

#11 ...Will bet the house payment that when Volodya does shuffle off this mortal coil and join the Choir Invisible and/or face Mandatory Retirement, it will be a COMPLETE surprise to the national security agencies.

#13 No bet, Mike. Past experience is that they will be totally blindsighted

#14 I sincerely resent the fact that my tax dollars are used to fund the CIA.

#15 /\ And we don't have the slightest idea in HELL how much funding the Klingons receive. Their budget data is SECRET. Nor do we have any idea how much of the DoD (grudgingly) and SOF (enthusiastically without shame) budgets go to support Klingon endeavors.

#16 It doesn't matter if U.S. “intelligence” tells you wrongly that the enemy is running out of ammunition, or that their leaders have hemorrhoids or cancer, as long as U.S. “Intelligence” doesn't run out of imagination.
