Trump should follow his America first instincts, rid himself of the globalists advisers on his staff, do a wholesale purge at the State Department, retire the careerist, globalist generals and the Obama acolytes at the Pentagon, and finally reform the CIA to its former capabilities and stature. Any Americans maimed or killed in Syria made sacrifices that did not enhance the security or well being of the American people.

I am reading an interesting critique of CIA by a former agent. He says the big problem was that we stopped having informants on the ground. We stopped trying to recruit them, and have been relying on stay at home office pencil pushers and analysts who have no one with on the scene details to analyze.

Not possible... Jimmy Carter and Stansfield Turner completely gutted the then present and future CIA... It can never be resurrected to 1975 standards...
