by Dave McIntyreTHE PRESIDENT ON TERRORISM – DANGEROUSLY NAIVE
Dave McIntyre, a national security expert and candidate for the US House of Representatives in CD-17, today released a new information paper: “On the President On Terrorism – Dangerously Naïve.”
In the paper, McIntyre, a retired Army Colonel and former Dean of the National War College (with a PhD in National Security), comments on the White House analysis of the recent terrorist attack, and the President’s speech:
“The Director of the National Security Council said the nation would be ‘shocked’ by the revelations of the report. But the most shocking thing about it was that the President and his Administration were themselves shocked to discover that we are at war. And he still got the main lessons of the attack wrong. Dead Wrong.”
Among other points, McIntyre concludes: “When we were attacked the instincts of our top leaders were wrong. . . . [and] the Administration’s analysis of the event misses the most important point. . . The right answer is not more enthusiastic speeches by the President. The answer is giving the Director of National Intelligence the power to crack heads – to hire and fire and transfer resources across the Intelligence Community until it provides unified protection to the United States”.
