“The sooner we take the fight into Syria against [ISIS], the better of we’ll be.”
In other words lets invade another country in the middle east because the last time we did worked out so well.
Fucking moron.

Put him in the same category as Rumsfeld and Cheney - Let’s not take advice from those who planned, sold and carried out any policies related to the Iraq War. (and he currently works with Chertoff - ring any nasty bells??)

Actually, its very rare to see a retired USAF general ever even hint that an all air campaign won’t work (they never have, but air forces around the globe still insist they can do it)

What a surprise, he wants it harder and deeper.
Dr. Frankenfurter, leather courtesy phone, if you please…

I watched this guy on PBS Frontline’s “United States of Secrets”, smirking about how his intelligence agency lied to congress and did whatever the hell it wanted.
What a jerk.

“The reliance on air power has all of the attraction of casual sex: It seems to offer gratification but with very little commitment,”
Sorry, but when those are the type of analogies you start to reach for, there’s probably something decaying in your brain.
“The sooner we take the fight into Syria against [ISIS], the better of we’ll be.”
Change that probably to “definitely”.

Well fk you Mr Hayden. If we want air power we call the Navy to get the job done. Who the fk is the Air Force? You guys fly desks better than anyone.

I also remember when Republicans were similarly dismissive of the air campaign Clinton began against Slobodan Milosevic and his thugs back in 1999, and how that couldn’t possibly work…and a couple of months later, not only was the Kosovo war over, but Milosevic was out.

No lie, huh? I wouldn’t trust a word this little weasel says. Nor the judgment behind the words. Go away, little man.

By the way, Hayden now works for The Chertoff Group.
Need a refresher?

So, is Hayden one of those christofascist warriors hoping to bring on the End Times?

Round up the kids of every one of these hawks, and send them to boot camp, then on to the middle east. What? NO?! Wait?! Hmmmm

My hope is that we do precious little bombing. It’s time for regional state actors to take some responsibility in their own backyard. I’m looking at you Saudi Arabia.

Really. This man didn’t work on war strategy and tactics. He was in the business of intelligence. His gig at CIA may have involved covert, over-throw of government and support of shadow rebel factions, but let’s not get into that dirt and grime bit of U.S. tactics. Gathering and disseminating. He may have worked on intell. strategy, but in the end his job didn’t involve war strategy. And, in the end, he agreed with the V.P. and stepped on the Constitution to gather whatever the hell Cheney wanted him to.

Hayden was of the intelligence cohort of the USAF, not the fighter pilot/bombing gang. And, of course, he broke the law as NSA Director, but that kind of law-breaking is never prosecuted.
