Michael Hayden: The End of Intelligence
Hayden was CIA director from 2006 to 2009 during the George W. Bush presidency. He was the National Security Agency director from 1999 to 2005, spanning the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush
Bush with help from Democrats, plunged this country into a decades long war and a recession.
Even after seeing the horrors of Bosnian war, Hayden supported going to Iraq.
"His 10-year tenure in these top intelligence positions was no ordinary decade. In addition to the Iraq War, there were the Sept. 11 attacks, the expansion of NSA data collection and the investigations into claims of torture by CIA interrogators.
Hayden writes about this period in a new memoir,
Playing to the Edge."

Liberals attacking Trump should keep in mind, there was a calculated effort by liberal media that helped Trump beat better men in the republican primaries.
When President Trump made public plans for extraction from Syria, liberals attacked him as naive and stupid.
President Trump may be a a dishonest prick.. but he's truthful and straightforward in analyzing challenges and finding solutions.
President Ronald Reagan was a kind, thoughtful man who treated everyone with respect. That didn't stop liberals from slandering, mocking him. While there was some respect for Reagan from the media, Hollywood and popular culture hated him.
Trump has it harder but he's a knife fighter from Brooklyn.
