Jane Harman He's Not!

UPDATE: Happy 2nd B-Day to Wuzzadem. They hit it on the nose as usual.
Pelosi Hosts National Security Jepardy

I read an article today that made me sad, but did not shock me. According to CQ editor Jeff Stein, our new incoming head of the intelligence committee does not know the difference between Sunni and Shia Muslims, something that Jane Harman for all of her liberal faults certainly did. I happened to have had first hand experience with her that tells me so. No I do not know the senator personally, but I have heard her speak on intelligence, well...intelligently and it is a shame that Pelosi gave her the axe. She really seemed to know her stuff and to generally care about protecting our nation. Now I don't know much about Reyes, but if the guy didn't know that Al Quaeda (you know, the guys who drove airplanes into our buildings) was an all Sunni organization, much less understand why that was important to know, then I think there maybe a slight problem. Now the article also goes on to (big shocker) bash the Bush administration for essentially the same thing, but we are not talking about them right now. Think about this for a minute all of you who put the dems back in power. Nancy Pelosi replaced Jane Harman (a staunch democrat) who was probably the most knowledgeable IC Chair we've had in a couple of decades for what?? Give up? Well, the answer is that Nancy just didn't like Jane very much. Not for any good reason I can assure you. She probably wore the same prada bag at last years Senate Christmas party or something and refused to go home and change. Either way what we are stuck with in this and many other top committee positions in January are a bunch of Pelosi-ittes who may or may not be qualified for the posts they are being nominated to assume.

As this article rightly points out we do not have the luxury of mistaking Al Sadr for Al Sharpton at the highest levels of our government anymore. The situation is too dire and the consequences too grave.
