Who remembers that Bill Clinton got all enamoured with electronic ‘intelligence’ when he was in the Oval Office & he pulled hundreds of human intelligence officers out of every country??
He was sure that satellites & other types of electronic spying would be just as successful. We needed those ‘ears on the ground’ and he dismissed the intelligence community cries for keeping such humans in place.
We have been paying for that foolhardy move ever since.
Obama, OTOH, doesn’t want to read & ask questions about his daily briefings. He despises the military in the first place. He doesn’t support any military information.
Didn’t Bush have his briefings very early every day & Obama doesn’t even get out of bed early like Bush did? I seem to recall that Obama’s attention to the daily briefings has been at best lackidasical.
Authors will have fodder for books for the next 100 years. None of them will be polite, either.
He will be the source of a hundred conspiracy theories for the next thousand years.
