The most important Strategic Initiative of any president over the last 40, 50 years, it was the strategic triangle of nixon and kissinger to allow the United States to build better relations with both china and the soviet union than they had with each other. And it was cia intelligence that provided the impetus to suggest that we could do this and as a result the soviet union would have to engage us which they did in terms of the treaty of berlin and the arms control agreements and we would end up with very good bilateral relations with both of them. So, the cia can be effective as a support instrument in this area. In terms of what needs to be done, because im running out of my time, i think we could do ourselves a lot of good by going back to that oped that president truman wrote in december of 1963. The warning about covert action, the warning that covert action is policy. And covert action, therefore, can taint clandestine collection and even taint intelligence analysis. That the c

The tea partiers want their people in, real right wingers, and theyre trashing rove and Establishment Republicans in the process. Plus, youve probably heard that chuck hagel once said the following, quote, the jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here. Im not an israeli senator. Im a United States senator. But what you probably havent heard is the rest of that interview and why some people who know what hagel really said arent angry with him at all. And why is Chris Christie talking so much about his weight . Maybe because he wants to talk about it on his terms, and why might that be . Because perhaps hes running for president. Finally, the recently fired dick morris admits he was wrong at the top of his lungs last november. Thats fine, but was he really wrong in predicting a romney landslide or did he know what was coming and decide thats what fox view

To new voting rules in new york that could undermine trumps chances there. But first, this weekend colorado republicans are caucusing but last night ted cruz already had taken the majority of the states delegates donald trump, john kasich, had none.
