Yes, and he needs to get the CIA out of the communications loop from the White House, have only uniformed mil intelligence personnel there. This hapless agency has caused enough trouble for the US, here and abroad. These are the “experts” who told GW Bush about non-existant WMDs in Iraq - “you can take it to the bank, Mr. President”. 5000 American lives, 100,000 Iraqis, the Iranians in control of Iraq which used to be a buffer zone, and 2 TRILLION dollars in cost and still no WMDs.
What we have learned informs us we should never again change any aspect of our Foreign Policy based on events until those events are ten years past so we can discover what the hell was really going on. You certainly can’t run a business that way. So what have our “Intelligence Agencies” taught us? They are WORSE than worthless.
