DNI Clapper is my kinda guy. He has the unfortunate (to his career) habit of saying politically-incorrect truths. For instance, he said that Russia and China, not Iran and North Korea, are mortal threats to the US*. For this truism, he was criticized by Carl Levin, Lindsay Graham and Joe Manchin. Graham even demanded his resignation.
* China and Russia are why we need F-22's, the next generation stealth bomber, a dozen carriers and the nuclear triad, not North Korea and Iran. |
