“At some point, we decided we were done with radical Islamic terrorists.”

This is simply not true. Withdrawal from Afghanistan does not mean we are done with Islamic terrorists. We have limited resources and the war on terror has evolved since the early 1990s. Most Islamic attacks occur via domestic terrorism and we still fund the infrastructure to try and combat that. If anything, you could make an argument we have too many organizations trying to coordinate to stop domestic threats and loopholes will occur when you have FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, ICE, ATF, etc. all trying to coordinate with each other.

In that case, it's a good thing we have a supremely competent nominee as the next DNI.

She’s almost worst because she is competent. That makes her truly dangerous. While people like Trump or Don Jr are useful idiots played by Russia I think Tulsi is like Tucker she wants to be Putin’s voice. She’s not being fooled by anyone she believes in pure authoritarianism.
