Happy Talk

Lt. General Mike Flynn was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the Obama years and was one of the main conduits for strategic intelligence to the White House and other high level government officials. Flynn, who is advising Trump on defense and foreign policy, says that the President and Secretary of State Clinton insisted on viewing the world through rose-colored glasses:

"Specifically, during an exclusive interview about his book The Field of Fight, Flynn said that Obama and Clinton were not interested in hearing intelligence that did not fit their 'happy talk' narrative about the Middle East. In fact, he alleged the administration actively scrubbed training manuals and purged from the military ranks any thinking about the concept of radical Islamism. Flynn argued that this effort by Obama, Clinton and others to reduce the intelligence community to gathering only facts that the senior administration officials wanted to hear—rather than what they needed to hear—helped the enemy fester and grow, while weakening the United States on the world stage."

Happy talk is fine when it comes to Nickelodeon or the Cartoon Network but when practiced by the President and key advisors, it leads to ISIS and other venonmous world situations. We can expect more of the same from Hillary as President because she will be way too busy collecting cash from international chiselers to pay attention to little things like the security of the United States - so put on a happy face!
