    Read The art of intelligence : lessons from a life in the CIA's clandestine service / Henry A. Crumpton. c 2012

    Notes
    • Introduction -- Dreaming -- Training -- Recruiting -- Collecting -- Liaising -- Counterterrorism -- Federal Bureau of Investigation -- The Counterterrorism Center[CE1] -- Afghanistan, strategy -- Afghanistan, operations -- Beyond Afghanistan -- Reflecting -- America -- Policy.
    • Includes index.
    Summary
    • A counterterrorism spy describes his leadership of the campaign that routed al Qaeda and the Taliban in the weeks after the September 11 attacks, offering insight into the ways in which the Afghanistan campaign changed American warfare.

    Crumpton led the charge, & CIA had spent 3 years studying Afghanistan, Al Qaeda, Taliban, the situation on the ground. The intel on Iraq, in contrast, was sharply limited - we didn't operate against S. Hussein in that way. The campaign against Al Qaeda & Taliban was sharply focused, low footprint, with mostly native Afghans doing the ground fighting.

    Everything was very much different in the war in Iraq - & it shows. Once we decided not to pursue victory in Afghanistan nor Iraq, there was no point to leaving our forces in the meat grinder. Crumpton had a precise, actionable set of goals to achieve in Afghanistan, to take advantage of the temporary defeat & ejection of Al Qaeda & Taliban. As we didn't pursue the enemy into their safe areas - Pakistan, anywhere else - they regenerated & built up their forces again. Nor did we rebuild Afghanistan nor Iraq into a functioning government - it was all half-measures & political cronyism & money thrown away on contractors, instead of plowed into the local economies by putting willing people to work.

    Thank you for that example of twisted, bass-ackwards logic.

    That was very instructive for those who have never been exposed to it before.

    You support the Islamofascism supporter. He has blood on his hands. And now, so do you.

    He shouldn't have the second time, but the people voted. At least it is almost over. Hopefully they (parties) both put up good candidates and the outcome of the next elections is more... productive? I'm not sure what the right word is there.

    How did that happen? I blame Establishment Republicans who offered up "the only man who can win". Four or five million people stayed home. I suppose if the nation is to be destroyed it is best that it be destroyed by a radical Marxist who supports IslamoNAZIs.
    You're kind of going off the crazy tracks with that one. I may not like him but I know enough to know he's not a Marxist. Islamonazis? That's just sad.

    Of course The Insane One is a Marxist. Wealth redistribution is Marxist. Obamacare is all about control and wealth redistribution. He is clearly supporting the IslamoNAZIs. He wants them to have nuclear weapons. He hates the Jews and he hates Israel. But he clearly supports Iran. He is doing little about ISIS. Under Obama we have entered into the end of the beginning of world war III. And the IslamoNAZIs are winning.

    I wonder why you support him and his IslamoNAZI friends?
