Compared to 2006, or 2015? No. Compared to 1990, probably.
Emphatically calling the Russian invasion despite widespread media, domestic and international skepticism helped gain a bit of it back. They should keep doing more of that and less fucking around with paramilitaries in South America.
- bell-cot 3y agoGeorge Bush Sr. was POTUS in '90. He'd served as CIA Director back in '76-'77, and (that I've heard) still knew exactly who to call, from the Oval office to 'way down the CIA's org chart, when he need correct and competent facts and analysis. (Obviously you can argue that he still wasn't talking to the right people about Iran & Kuwait in July of '90.)
