President-elect Donald Trump will tap KT McFarland to be his deputy national security adviser, according to Bloomberg News and the New York Times.
McFarland, a former spokeswoman in the Pentagon during the Reagan era, lives in New York and currently serves as a Fox News National Security Analyst. She also served in the Nixon and Ford administrations and was an aide to Dr. Henry Kissinger, according to her Fox News profile.
She also ran for the New York United States Senate seat held by Hillary Clinton in 2006, but was defeated by her Republican rival John Spencer.

I like KT.
Instead of “attacking an IS shop” did you mean “attacking of a US ship, i.e. the USS Liberty?
The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War.[3]

Ah, now I remember her. She’s one (of few) analysist on Fox who actually knows something and has had a job other than blogger. Good news!
I did not criticize the lady, I hope for the best.
As far as Kissinger goes, I stand by my opinion. There are hundreds of articles over many years supporting or tending to support my view. And at any event, I considered Kissinger’s influence on American policy to be mostly a giant DISASTER, my view is that we DO NOT need anybody like him or with his attitudes anywhere near WashDC. We elected Mr Trump to clean house, not reinstall GOP-e or the worst policy perspectives of 50 years ago! IMHO. Take or leave, its ok.

She cut her chops in the Reagan administration and has a stellar reputation for basic common sense.
Nothing wrong with Kissinger that Nixon didn’t instruct. A brilliant man.
I agree. It’s why I also don’t trust Steve pieczenik.
Worth repeating, gotta say.
I think KT is solid but for National Security I think we should have someone who has served in the field of National Security more directly...a former CIA director.....but then it only is as an advisor so a good historian might be exactly what we need and she HAS been inside the beltway on the right side for a long time......she remembers when America was great.
Nixon usually managed to instruct, your word is fine I think, Kissinger pretty well
yes. Nixon was a better president than most folks now believe... but I am too tired today to take THAT discussion battle on now, ha!!!!! so I will retire from this thread. thanks for the good spin,

“Nixon was a better president than most folks now believe”
I agree with you. Many here agree with you, I believe.
Despite Fox's lefty management team (Murdoch and sons) Mr. Trump is keeping his door open to and with the Fox network's conservative hosts, analysts and pundits.
The creepy news commentators and the punditry mental cases working at CNN, MSNBC, etal NEED NOT APPLY EVER for future positions, attention or cooperation with the Trump Train engineers.
Go Tucker, Go Lou Dobbs, Go Hannity, Go Judge Jeanine, Go Monica Crowley...and now, GO KT McFARLAND !!!
Even if everything you said is true, that’s makes Kissinger a bad Jew, not a Nazi...
Get back with me when Kissinger starts putting people in ovens and starts committing mass genocide.
Words at least in my generation had meaning...
deliberately setting up Jews who’ve run out of munitions to defend themselves.... to lose the war and be slaughtered by their Moslem attackers....(who’ve repeatedly then and to this day swear and scream their intent to murder all the Jews they can get their hands on)......that action was a Nazi type of thing to do, pure and simple. Deliberately Enabling the mass murder of Jews is a Nazi type of thing to do. I understand your viewpoint but I stick by my wording.
She was such a loyal supporter & one of the 1st!
Your historical perspective is a little lacking.
Sect. of Defense is your culprit...
Though Kissinger is a piece of work

Have to agree, I was surprised to see that. Accusations keep getting crazier in the age when access to historic facts is getting cheaper.
I’ve been trying to learn about McFarland ... so far she looks like maybe a pretty good choice....tbd...
He’s picking a lot of media people. That might bite him in the ass later.
