The Hill: Henry “Hank” Crumpton, the former CIA official who led a covert team of operators in Afghanistan after 9/11, believes the Obama administration is doing a “lousy job” in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

“I don’t think they understand the kind of war they need to fight,” Crumpton told The Hill in a recent interview.

“They’re waging the war they want to fight but not the one that will lead to success.”

“It’s very safe politically; they want to control everything in Washington,” said the 58-year-old former spy who says he was able to mastermind the overthrow of the Taliban in 90 days after 9/11.

WNU Editor: A good profile on Henry Crumpton is here .... Hank Crumpton: Life as a spy (60 Minutes). What's my take .... I do not have his expertise, but it is clear that he is very pessimistic on what is happening.
