Director of National Intelligence .. is a idiot

I can’t keep up with the incompetency of the Obama Administration … everyday it become clear that we have a community organizer running our country. Does not qualify as a Public Servant anymore. Director after Director and department after department failure…

Holder….Napolitano and Clapper OhMy!

Does this guy or his department have a clue?
As the Director of National Intelligence you have to have some…. Please step down

Should Clapper be fired ?

Sounds like he was saying without U.S. and NATO assistance, Qaddafi will prevail over the rebels.
I mean if he is giving his view that unless there is military action, Qaddafi will prevail, that is a reasonable assessment given his vast cash reserves. We are already seeing this in fact given that the rebels have been been back in some areas.

On another note, here is the latest overall threat assessment.

Clapper isn't an idiot. He was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the 90s and then moved over to the National Geospacial Intelligence Agency in the 2000s.
The Brotherhood comments were not great, but his main point that they are a wide umbrella group is true.

Yeah, the comments were about how if there is no foreign intervention, given Qaddafi's resources, the rebels may not last.

And then, the Lt. General in the Army, head of the DIA also agreed with that assessment.
I don't see any problems with those statements.

Now, if they would have said Qaddafi will prevail even with NATO and U.S. intervention, then that would be news. Otherwise, they are just stating what is going on right now. No harm no foul.
