CIA head John Brennan plans to retire in Ireland say Irish cousins

since when did he complete the senate vetting process?

He might get free flights with the job. Are those rendition flights still sneaking through Iris airports.

Brennan is planning on doing what I would like to do. We were married in Ireland, however, my "better half" and children frown on it. Can't go back and forth since we are on a limited pensioners income. I'm happy for Brennan and sure that he will be able to afford unlimited travel back and forth. Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court presently spends half his time in Ireland. That would be the dream. Anyway, happy to hear that some are able to do this. Good luck to Brennan at CIA.

Brennan, just appointed to the CIA and already thinking of retirement? I would think the CIA and those like organizations have little to be proud of considering the history or these covert operators,the boys love the the spy system, possible seen to much of Fleming and to many movies like, The Third Man.

wtf. If his relatives don’t learn to get control of the diarrhea of the mouth he will be out before he gets in.

The thing about Brennan is that he will do things his way. I kind of have respect for O'Bamma in trusting those he has appointed and not micro managing things. Its good to see another Irish Man at the Helm of the CIA. You have to wonder if its a cliche on 'Wild Bill' Donovan whom headed the OSS as Father of the American Intelligence Service. The Brennan's I have known, one of whom was for a time my Teacher are all hardy and tough men, kind of what Id imagine Donovan to be like and very smart people to. A wise man once said Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that a tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad." This has been a theme for COM since O'Bamma came to power though through trial and error I think this time he has made the right choice. Depending on how well this works out though might see him become unpopular in Ireland and will that affect his desire to retire in Ireland?

Does that include the Saudi Arabs who are your close allies, or just the Arabs you've been told to dislike by Fox News?

Brennan is unacceptable, because he cannot see the threat of Arab Terrorism. Of course I am racist because I oppose an Obama appointee. How does it go. They are so mad that we have a Black President, that they will stop everything.

Brennan by the mere fact his folks come from the old country provides him with Irish citizenship. Going a step further and securing an Irish passport would in all likely disqualify him from obtaining a security clearance from the US Gov't. That is not likely the case as he was a former employee of the agency. However, his recent TV appearance has him sounding like a groveling amadan. Any wonder we are held up to ridicule by the rest of the world.

OMG darkstar is back shouting again

BUT AMERICANS CAN ONLY COME INTO IRELAND ON A 90DAY VISA EVEN THE ONES WHO THINK THEY ARE IRISH ... UNLESS YOU HAVE IRISH CITIZENSHIP WHICH IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET IF YOUR AMERICAN .....NEW EU LAWS !!!! ALTHOUGH ITS OK FOR HALF OF EASTERN EUROPE TO MOVE HERE , NOT WORK , CLAIM BENEFITS AND LIVE OFF THE STATE ...

wtf.If his relatives don’t learn to get control of their diarrhea of the mouth he will be out before he gets in.

No need to be bitter and twisted at his appointment.He's a fine man.

I guess now that another mob hit-man, Whitey Bolger, plans to retire to Ireland have run into a slight shag there'll be room for Obama's button man. His potential neighbours in Ireland should be wondering if the relatives of some of his victims may not turn up in the guise of tourists to have a few words with Brennan.

That's all we need now; another Spook. What's that about O'Reilly being a historian? O'Reilly is just a loudmouth.
