669: Strategic Patience
CIA Intelligence Failures and Marginalization of Donald Gregg
Donald Gregg criticizes the U.S. policy of "strategic patience" toward North Korea, calling it a continuation of the Bush administration's failures. He recounts being marginalized by Condoleezza Rice's staff in 2002 after hand-delivering a letter from Kim Jong-il, arguing that demonizing foreign leaders prevents necessary diplomatic progress.
