He just claimed that the HUMINT capabilities of the CIA got decimated beginning in the 1980's!

Actually, the late 1980's and early 1990's. Which, of course, is Bush I years.

that is true and is what Hanoi John French Kerry takes credit for when you hear him talk about how he fought back against Reagan's illegal war in central america ...

He is correct although the Dims started that program in the '70s. They weren't really able to institutionalize it and make all sorts of laws, strictures, directives and regulations to totally hamstring it until the '80s.

Reagan, however, demolished the Soviet threat, regardless.
