| DIA's Gen Mike Flynn's Last Interview: Iconoclast Departs DIA With A Warning | |
| 2014-08-10 | |
| [Breaking Defense] James Kitfield: DIA is tracking global crises from Ukraine to the Mideast to North Korea and the Western Pacific. Have you ever seen so many crises occurring simultaneously? Flynn: No. I come into this office every morning, and other than a short jog to clear my head, I spend two to three hours reading intelligence reports. I will frankly tell you that what I see each day is the most uncertain, chaotic and confused international environment that I've witnessed in my entire career. There were probably more dangerous times such as when the Nazis and [Japanese] Imperialists were trying to dominate the world, but we're in another very dangerous era. We rightfully talk about the last decade being the longest war in American history, for instance, but when we pull combat troops out of Afghanistan at the end of this year, it's not going to feel like that war is over. To me, it feels like we'll be facing a familiar threat and heightened uncertainty for a long time yet. I hope and pray someone is listening.

| #6 Obama has been a disaster. Our press would pound a Republican that had screwed up this much this badly. But nary a critical peep. When the big hit comes, I hope it hits the editors and reporters who willingly blinded the nation, or else we will have to hang them ourselves in the aftermath. |

| #4 They are leaving early because the empty suit and his "Top Men" did not like the message they were getting from the DIA. |

| #3 Seems like Flynn has a clear view of the threats. That is precisely why he and his deputy are leaving DIA early. |

| #1 Seems like Flynn has a clear view of the threats. If Obumble did not have such a huge ego, he might have considered keeping McChrystal on the job also. |
