Watching CIA Director John Brennan's interview on Meet The Press this morning and was struck by his singular lack of intelligence with comments such as "its complicated" when referring to the Middle East. What complicates is not recognizing the lack of levers of power to will a peaceful resolution to the turmoil in the region. He defends Obama's recent meeting in Saudi Arabia as a useful exchange among friends despite the snubs when their recent execution of a Shiite cleric and the bombing of Yemen civilians does more to incite chaos in the region and expose the Kingdom's lack of control. Apparently there is no recognition at the CIA that a careless rich friend with many conflicting agendas is even a more dangerous to us than a declared enemy such as Iran.
What is the head of the CIA doing on a meet the press show, sell the administration's policy? Is that the CIA's purpose?
