James Woolsey, who served for two years as director of the CIA under former President Bill Clinton, has become an adviser to Donald Trump, the campaign announced on Monday.
Woolsey, who was a vocal supporter of the Iraq War, said that he support’s Trump’s call to “reinvest in and modernize our military in order to confront the challenges of the 21st century.”
“Mr. Trump’s commitment to reversing the harmful defense budget cuts signed into law by the current administration, while acknowledging the need for debt reduction, is an essential step toward reinstating the United States’ primacy in the conventional and digital battlespace,” Woolsey said in a statement sent out by the Trump campaign.
Woolsey said that Hillary Clinton “demonstrated a complete lack of understanding and an inability to lead” the state department.
“Based on the emails thus far released we know that Secretary Clinton also lacks the ability to lead her senior managers while complying with and maintaining the basic protocols designed to protect our government’s sensitive and classified information,” he said in the statement. “Mr. Trump understands the magnitude of the threats we face and is holding his cards close to the vest. Bravo Zulu, Mr. Trump.”
Woolsey also served as an adviser to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) during his 2008 presidential bid.
What a great picture. If I could caption it it would be “Let’s burn this mother****** to the ground!”
Supported the Iraq War. Just like Trump. Perfect fit.
The things that slither out of dark swamps! Talk about Deplorables. Now Woolsey joins Giuliani and Ailes and Cheney and a cast of other losers. We need another basket over here with a lid on it.
If he’s dumb enough to think the “challenges of the 21st Century” can be solved by a bloated military he’s found his place with Trump.
America’s achieved next to nothing with its Military since WW2. As we move along in time that monster Military seems even less able to get the job done. Before the 21st Century is over Americans will not tolerate it’s underachieving mega military depriving them of a good life.
What an asshat.
If nothing else Herr Coir Coif’s scampaign must be given credit for its ability to consistently turn over a rock and have something cringeworthy scurry out.
