FEDS: “WE NEED MORE MAJOR NIDAL HASANS”

With new evidence linking Major Nidal Hasan (Ft. Hood Massacre) to U.S. Based Muslim radicals, Al Qaeda and Pakistani terror networks, American Intelligence agencies are reacting with mind-boggling foolishness. While military families are grieving the murder of their loved ones, the CIA is recruiting radical Muslims from Dearborn Michigan, ground zero for America’s Islamic jihad movement.


America has squandered billions of taxpayer’s dollars kissing up to the Islamic world, only to be rewarded by terrorism and bloodshed against U.S. Citizens.


And now this:


Your nation, your world,” a male voice says with a Middle Eastern accent, as the frame moves outside and pans out to show the party through a window of a gleaming, high-rise building. In seconds, the shot zooms out to an image of the U.S. from space. “They’re worth protecting.”


“Careers in the CIA.”

The commercial, which the agency plans to debut on mainstream and ethnic TV stations and Web sites nationwide within the next few months, represents artistic and technological leaps for the agency. Until now, its print, broadcast and Web advertising has focused on the variety of career options and the diversity among its ranks, but the agency hasn’t used a storytelling approach to sell its message.

It’s part of an ambitious outreach effort to communities the CIA deems critical to reducing the threat of terrorism in the U.S. The agency has a five-year plan to boost fluency in Arabic and other languages.

Resistance could come from U.S. Arabs who claim to be victims of unreasonable suspicion since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Many Arabs and Muslims have been critical of the government’s intelligence gathering and believe spying is going on in mosques and other dens of terrorist activities.

The CIA on Wednesday held a private screening of the commercial and another 30-second spot aimed at recruiting Iranian-Americans. Each drew applause from the group of about 40 people gathered for the viewing in Dearborn, in the heart of Michigan’s large Middle Eastern community.

The ad’s soft-selling, storytelling approach emerged from focus groups and conversations with CIA employees of Middle Eastern heritage. The research revealed that Arab-Americans want to retain their ties to their homelands but embrace a sense of duty to the U.S. They stressed a desire to work in places where they can use their experiences and enjoy an exciting career.

“It’s important for them to know we understand how important their culture is to them. They’re not going to lose that once they walk through the front doors of the CIA to work,” said Christina Petrosian, chief of advertising and marketing for agency’s recruitment and retention center.

Petrosian and her team filmed the commercial in the same Hollywood studio that once was home to Desilu Productions and the pioneering 1950s sitcom “I Love Lucy,” which itself broke ethnic barriers by costarring Cuban-American actor Desi Arnaz in the role of Ricky Ricardo.

    Oh really? Is causing the deaths of over a million people in Iraq “kissing up”?
