The error America made was coupling info gathering with black and wetThe most dangerous American politicians in recent memory are those who
maliciously damaged the CIA and other intelligence gathering
agencies (e.g. Frank Church, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.)

The Left knows that we need information, but there was no way toThe most
recent folly (actually malicious act) was the 'reorganization',
'downsizing' and silly rules WRT human intellegence changes in
about 1995. (The very bad attitude that many of the US left have
against the intelligence agencies in the US cause self-fufilling
problems in those agencies.) It is clear that the intelligence
agencies have to be carefully managed, but being screwed up by the
US left's prejudice against being informed (instead of adhering to
their religion, thereby ignoring reality) isn't an effective way
of managing the agencies.

We need the CIA to be re-habilitated and converted to only anAt this point, the most important action is to finish up
the liberation of Iraq (which will certainly continue disadvantage to those
who had previously been on Saddam's payroll, including some individuals in
the French government and certain French companies who had been profiteering
from the apparently poorly (and probably disreputably) managed oil-for-food
program), and but also to continue to rebuild the CIA along with further
improvement in the ability for intelligence agencies to 'integrate'
information from various sources.

You just managed to say precisely nothing except to fit your cutesyThere is another issue of further proving the fact that the visionary
notion of liberation and freedom is more the mantra and effect of the
current US leadership along with forward thinking allies like Blair,
while ineffective and vascillating decision making (along with
incompetent/foolish treaties e.g. with Korea) are more the effect of
immediately previous presidential leadership. (Remember, looking at
the Carter/Korea deal and the mad/purely political push for a forced
and irrelevent Arafat/Israel are simple existance proof of the
uselessness and strategic incompetency of
Clinton/Carter/Not-So-Bright/Algor.) The decade long 'dissing' of
Russia has also not been helpful in our relations with them, while
giving some of our important military secrets (for superficial economic
gain and satisfying the Red Army contributors to the AlGore/Democrat
party) hasn't improved the US strategic position.

The CIA has turned a blind eye to the middle east for a VERY long timeIt is very clear that the current CIA director isn't 'at fault', even
though he didn't adequately overcome the previous damage to the
intelligence agencies. It is also clear that the current president
isn't 'at fault', but is certainly the person who is responsible for
the decisions that he has had to make. The ability for the US military
to move so quickly (faster than estimates) was IN LARGE PART due to
several weapons systems that Kerry had voted against. (In essense,
whatever heroism that Kerry had exhibited as a young man is MORE THAN
negated by his attempt to vote down the very systems that had
avoided ALOT of American deaths.) The Patriot system that 'sort of'
worked during Desert Storm, really worked fairly well in the Iraqi
Freedom operation after the upgrades over the last decade.

Put away your slander, cold warrior, we're done with you, the worldIt is clearly proven that those countries who are more likely
claimed to be some kind of 'socialist paradise' have been the worst
profiteers (practically pirates against the Iraqi people in league
with Saddam), while the US which is often claimed to be purely
greedy, but instead has been very altruistic in ways that are
INCONCIEVABLE that the 'socialist paradises' (france, germany,
etc) might have been.

the Iraqi liberation are the corrupt-to-the-core socialist meccas

have previously protected those socialist meccas is something that
the American people will NOT forget for generations. It is quite
clear that the French are starting to be viewed with a similar
attitude as the old Eastern European nations before their own
freedom and liberation. (E.g. the French being only self serving,
and ignoring any sense of reality, especially their own internal
corruption.)
