[QUOTE]Obama to nominate Brennan as CIA head5 minutes ago
Mr Brennan has worked for the CIA for 25 years
US President Barack Obama is to nominate John Brennan as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, White House officials have said.
If confirmed, Mr Brennan will replace Gen David Petraeus, who resigned last year after admitting to an affair.
Chuck Hagel is to be put forward as the president's next defence secretary, replacing Leon Panetta.
Both appointments are expected to be formally announced later on Monday and must be confirmed by the Senate.
Mr Brennan, a CIA veteran, is currently Mr Obama's chief counter-terrorism adviser. He was heavily involved in the planning of the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Although put forward for the role in 2008, Mr Brennan withdrew his name amid questions about his connection to interrogation techniques used during the administration of George W Bush.
Mr Hagel, a moderate Republican senator from Nebraska, has faced criticism from some fellow Republicans who say he is hostile to Israel and soft on Iran.
He has criticised discussion of a military strike by either the US or Israel against Tehran.[/QUOTE]

CIA directors always have the best names.

The CIA directors actually have a lot of power.
I like how Republicans are actually crying over him maybe being anti-Israel, oh no he may have his own opinions how scary.

That's not the CIA's job. They deal with foreign threats, the FBI and DHS deal with domestic.

Yes they're dummies for the Illuminati that are slowly attempting to get control of the world.
More like puppets of the military-industrial complex

Have you ever seen a beautiful mind? The maths guy who goes insane and thinks the CIA are in his garden shed?
That's you.
Yep.
I liked Petraeus for the job, he seemed like a pretty good guy, not to mention his name sounds like a roman general's. This guy sounds like he knows what he's doing at least.
