When I interviewed Sandy Berger, the former White House national security advisor, we talked about what he says our priorities should be, what’s wrong with current policy, what's missing from our current national security defenses, and the three fundamentals of true security.

Or just click the play button on this player: There’s a lot more we can do. we’re not doing enough with North Korea, we’re not doing enough with Iran, and we’re not doing enough to secure vast stockpiles of nuclear material in the former Soviet Union."
"95% of the containers coming into our country are not screened, and any one of those containers could contain a dirty bomb."
"We have to be a lot more creative. A lot of these solutions are not going to come from government. They’re going to come from government stimulating the private sector to develop the kind of biometric and sensing technologies that will make us safer."
"We can't build a bubble over the U.S. because the bubble wouldn’t protect us from indigenous terrorists, and we don’t want to live in that kind of society."
"What we haven’t had from this administration is a strategic plan with a set of priorities. So here we are, four years after 9/11, still asking the question 'what’s most important?' We should have resolved this 6 weeks after 9/11. We mobilized this country to go to war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and we have simply not had the sense of urgency about building a harder safer America."
"If offense is going after the bad guys, and defense is making this country less vulnerable, then the third leg is the war of ideas. We are the most powerful country in the world—economically, militarily, culturally—but power is not the same thing as authority."

Placed himself in the forefront of taking advantage of those professed insecurities.....
Not doing enough to secure the national archives from pilfering clintonites.
Those containers, depending upon what kind they are, need to be gartered, belted, and suspendered to seal the holds of delivery apparatus available to destroy our sovereignty via leakage.
You mean the same NK that the Clinton Admin gave Nuke reactors to in exchange for a PROMISE not to build nuke weapons???? Gee considering how every single thing from NK to Hati the Clinton National Security machine touched has turned into a National Security Disaster for the USA, I would think this would be the LAST topic they would be talking up.
bttt
STOP!
This sorry POS should be in jail.
Grabbed a bomb from the "insurgent" and shoved it down his pants...what a hero.
He needs a dirty bomb stuffed down his pants.
Why isn't he? Because this "Two-Party Cartel" won't go after the libs. They won't allow a true conservative agenda to happen - it's aginst their agenda & since they own the Congress don't expect anything but this.
There isn't room for a bomb in those pants with the entire files of ABEL Danger in there too.
You would think a man like Sandy Berger would be reticent to show his face in public after adding "classified document thief", "convicted felon" and "laughing stock" to his resume. Perhaps he is just too, too... what, too intelligent to worry? Yeah, that's it. He's just too powerful an intellect to worry about mundane things like laws, and National Security, and stuff like that. What, me worry?
Bill Richardson was Secretary of Energy when the Chicoms walked off with all our nuclear secrets and he is now governor of New Mexico.
To our shame -- this bastard is not in prison..
