What the HELL! Is Clapper so old and senile he doesn’t know what the heck is going on from his own department people? This is the same fathead who says islam is a great ‘religion’, refuses to say there are terrorists looking to slaughter Americans and a slew of other shite too long to mention here!

(CNSNews.com) – Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told lawmakers Tuesday he would need to “research a little bit” claims that Iran is using its ties to the Venezuelan banking system to dodge sanctions.
During a hearing of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on global threats facing the United States, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) asked Clapper and a panel of top intelligence officials about Iran’s influence in the Western Hemisphere.
“I think it’s generally accepted – I think it’s fact – that Iran is willing to sponsor and use terrorism as a tool of its foreign policy and its statecraft around the world,” Rubio said, adding that he viewed with “alarm” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s trip to Venezuela in early January.
Rubio expressed concern about the Venezuelan banking system, through which billions of dollars flow. “Could it not be used as a place to evade sanctions, for example?” he asked.
