Group. President s that have had key advisers, the kissingers, the brzezinskis, the cheneys that sort of dominate the advice in one way or another. President s that have used their cabinet. President s that rely on the National Security council or a handful of trusted adviser. So the analysis, the intelligence which has sometimes been good and sometimes catastrophic in misjudging events and how that has led us to a decision. I talk about president ial decisions in the book, whats going through the president s mind . Is there a degree of emotion . Is there Something Else thats happening .

President s and congress has followed, that this would lead to a paralysis of our ability to defend ourselves. All of the framers agreed about war and i dont think that is true either like bruce said. I would look at the constitutional text. I have a free copy someone gave me.

Meant that he didnt have a military plan were immediately responding to this, then that is not a strategy. That is an operational plan. So either he didnt have a strategy or he doesnt understand what strategy it is. Either way, im troubled by the comments and it is yet to be explained and the strategy is not just a military action but how you employ diplomacy and your power of information and influence and economic power and it encompasses all of the elements of government in power and the building of coalitions and the forming of helping governance change social problems that might help you succeed. And in addition to a military, that is just one part of it and thats not a strategy in and of itself. Yes, sir . [inaudible] sir, i think that we need more of the people that we need and we need more captain ripleys and cross fries and you are right that for conventional war you can train people in 90 to 180 days and you can get very good soldiers to have a small war and im sure youve read
