Want to know why we should have someone with global experience in Congress? Read this. Our CIA doesn’t have a clue what is going on in Iran – and Congress has done nothing to put human assets on the ground or require them. We have this insane idea that taking photos with satellites tells us what we need to know. We don’t even have more than a handfull of people who understand or speak Persian in the CIA (Iran is not an Arabic country).
So what was Congress doing about it?
Some were taking trips to Scotland with lobbyists… Most believed the bad intelligence on Iraq that led to major mistakes that is still costing American soldiers lives. Doesn’t that make you feel safer? It’s about time Congress funded real human intelligence – satellites won’t cut it. Neither will another Congress rep who is clueless on these issues.

Well guys, I was NOT invited to the CLOSED meeting on Saturday, May 6, so that should tell you something. My guess is that they will pick David Wallace who is, like me, a moderate - and he has an international degree. He recently impressed the Jewish community after describing his trip to the death camps in Poland...So I don't think you need to worry about me.
Well said, Mr. Aggie. Thank You. I was an advisor for A&M's Center for International Studies for 18 years ...your read on this is insightful. At least I had the balls to challenge the guy at his peak instead of waiting for when he was weak.
Think about it - whether or not DeLay gets hit with a Federal indictment (very possible), the Democrat can say that the replacement never challenged DeLay or corruption. This whole process is alienating a lot of Republicans, especially when they discover DeLay knew he was leaving but didn't bow out to let the voters make the choice in the primary. Thode told Texas Monthly he knew about it in January. I was not told about Saturday's meeting. Thanks for your Aggie insight - I say that as a UT ex. Gig 'em!
