PS - Tulsi has the right enemies.
Mouaz Moustafa a terrorist seen grinning in a photo with ISIS leaders... doesn’t like Tulsi.
A damned Sunni wahabbist has a problem with an uppity woman. What a surprise.
“and he was struck by Gabbard’s lack of outrage at Assad’s atrocities.”
Like the fake gas attack?
I like Tulsi Gabbard. She appears to be logical. You do not see that in a woman too often.
Tulsi is not bombastic; I would think that would be a plus for her next job.
“Ultimately, he came away increasingly concerned that her aims and worldview were at odds with the U.S. mission in Syria and U.S. foreign policy more broadly”
I like how he speaks about US foreign policy as though it was something enshrined that everyone must defer to, like the Constitution. Here’s the thing sport, she isn’t being hired to accept US foreign policy, she is being hired to CREATE it.
Deal with it haji.
Tulsi,
Was my Congress critter for a few years.
I never voted for her as she like most military officers are
scared schiff-less of the lower ranked people having guns, she is anti 2A.
She knows what trained soldiers(or civilians) can do.
But other than that she seems to be OK and a better choice
than some idiot who could not even get close to being a Light Colonel in our military.
Agree.
Tulsi has ALL of the right concern trolls.
A hatchet job by John McCain’s pet Islamic radical.
I'm curious which 3-letter Agency pays his salary?
“But he isn’t sure he’d continue doing so if Tulsi Gabbard is confirmed as Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence. And it wouldn’t surprise him if U.S. allies around the world followed suit.”
That’s ok, we’ll get it from the Israelis!
Tulsi Gabbard is THE critical appointment for the incoming administration, and she will probably not be confirmed, for the sole reason that the Senate Republicans will want to show Trump who is boss.
The “Deep State” has many aspects, not all related to each other - but the “intelligence community” has been running an independent foreign policy since 1947-49, they are not subject to the orders of the President - any President - and they are not about to stop now since the end of the Ukraine war is going to leave them very exposed.
I don’t think the Senate will confirm ANY DNI except a John Bolton or John Brennan.
He’s probably muslim and doesn’t like woman in authority positions to begin with.
“...concerned that her aims and worldview were at odds with the U.S. mission in Syria and U.S. foreign policy more broadly.”
Funny — I thought the President-elect would be determining US foreign policy and appointing officials to carry it out. The person who wrote the comment above seems to think the President’s job is to obey whatever policy the Deep State prefers.
Politico breathlessly runs with this garbage.
Hummm, Moustafa. Sounds like a Muslim Deep State Plant to me.
