SPECIAL UPDATE: SEVEN FORMER CIA DIRECTORS PROTEST ADMINISTRATION POLICY ON CIA – SEPTEMBER 18, 2009.

Interview Highlights:

George Will believes that if we can’t see the end in sight in Afghanistan, more lives, more money will be lost at too great a risk. On the other hand, we have very strong national security interest in ensuring that we don’t have a pro-Taliban regime in power in Afghanistan as we did on 9/11.

President Obama launched a surge in Afghanistan, while turning his back on Iraq. We must decide whether the present government is Afghanistan is worth supporting. Secondly, we must make headway in dealing with Taliban sanctuaries in Pakistan – which means that Pakistan must move effectively against the terrorists.

President Obama spent only 10 minutes with President of Pakistan – one of our 4 or 5 most important allies. This is a case of misplaced priorities. Hollywood celebrities and sports teams are less important that critical relationships with critical allies.

The President has not yet explained to the American people why he wanted a surge in Afghanistan and why we should be backing Pakistan now.  Nor has he made it clear that we will not tolerate a corrupt regime in Afghanistan

Moral at the CIA is at rock bottom today. Congress rarely criticizes itself but is very quick to condemn public servants that put their lives on the line to defend this country. Amnesty International and others cry crocodile tears for those who caused the death of 3000 people on 9/11.

The Attorney General named a special prosecutor, presumably with plans for criminal charges for whatever lapses may have occurred. The President was too cute by half in stating, “that’s my Attorney General, not me – I’m only looking at the future.”

The day may come that the entire future of this country depends on such information. Are we going to say, “We really can’t hurt this guy’s feelings.”

The President abrogated his leadership role to radical elements in Congress.

Young CIA officers are now told to obtain the name of a good lawyer, because Congress will be second-guessing their actions.

The ACLU John Adams project has taken photos of alleged CIA officers and interrogators and shows them to terrorist in GITMO so they can bring action against them.

Star Wars Ballistic Missile Defense: Our National Security Defense Against Rogue Nations

National Security Rights featured on the Rights Radio Self Help Hour. President Ronald Reagan created the Star Wars Program (Strategic Defense Initiative) in 1983. Mike Gamble, former director of Boeing’s Ballistic Missile Defense Program, explains what happened to the program. Show Date: March 26, 2009.

Rights Radio was ahead of the news! This show aired the very day that North Korea announced their so called “satellite” launch. The public learned for the first time that North Korean missiles could hit Alaska in the not so distant future.

You have a right to know how the US Government plans to defend you and your family against ballistic missile attacks from rogue nations.

Citizens might well assume that Star Wars is still in place. Not so.

Congress passed laws that starved the Star Wars program and declared there would be no weapons in space. Yet, Author Nelson DeMille describes a highly secret protocol for retaliating against those who trigger a major terrorist attack in his book entitled Wild Fire.
