Zelikow Appointed to Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board
September 7, 2011 President Obama appointed Philip Zelikow, associate dean for graduate academic programs in the University of Virginia's Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, to serve on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, the White House announced Tuesday.
Zelikow, White Burkett Miller Professor of History, will remain with the University while serving on the board, which serves as an independent source of advice to the president on the intelligence community's effectiveness in meeting the nation's intelligence needs, and on the vigor and insight with which the community plans for the future.
"Philip is a valued colleague, exceptional scholar and highly skilled administrator with a distinguished record of service in government and academia," said Meredith Jung-En Woo, dean of the ]College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. "This appointment reflects his and the University's longstanding commitment to education and public service. We're pleased that he will be able to serve the president and our country in this important role while continuing to oversee the College's graduate academic programs as well as our international initiatives and partnerships. His experience on the president's advisory board will only deepen and enrich his work on behalf of the College."
Zelikow will serve with 13 others, including former U.S. Senators David Boren and Chuck Hagel, who co-chair the board.
"I'm glad to do what I can to help," he said.

I wonder why Obama doesn't just change his name to Bush and join the Republican Party?

Because it's part of the "message" ... it's the same message sent to the voter now that was sent to the US government on 11/22/63, to the voter on 6/5/68, and to the world on 9/11/01: "we are in charge and there is nothing you can do about it."
The only thing left to figure out is who the "we" is. It is a chameleonic beast with many faces, but its singularity can be determined using a number of methods.

Yet another of many given a promotion for a cover-up well done!....Sickening. The US Govt. is basically a criminal entity [Mafia, if you like]...of course, not everyone in it....but many of those in the key positions. This 'government', in turn, is run by an invisible hand [invisible to most] of powerful, rich, corrupt, imperialists, racist, classist anti-environmentalist, anti-Peace, anti-life, anti-altruism, criminal thugs. The best government and linked economic structures BIG MONEY can buy!
