Amid Afghan Chaos, a C.I.A. Mission That Will Persist for Years

 

The spy agency had plans to de-emphasize counterterrorism operations to focus on rising global powers. History got in the way.

Afghanistan is a rising global power?

a clown puff piece to prepare us for what?

Kamala Harris returned to the U.S. on Thursday, landing in Hawaii after her trip to Singapore and Vietnam.

 

But the vice president ignored reporters’ questions – whether about Afghanistan or other topics – as she got off Air Force Two for a stop at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

 

She also blocked reporters from attending her planned address to U.S. troops stationed at the base, according to reports.

 

The Pearl Harbor stop had been scheduled prior to Thursday's terrorist attack at the Kabul airport that killed at least 13 U.S. service members and dozens of Afghans. An Islamic State group affiliate claimed responsibility for the attack.

 

After the attack, reporters traveling with Harris learned her Hawaii visit with the troops would be closed to the press.

 

"The VP’s staff informed the pool during the flight that her event with troops at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam would now be closed press," the White House press pool said, according to the Washington Examiner. "No explanation given by the VP’s team for why it has been changed to closed press when asked by a member of the pool."

 

Harris also canceled a campaign rally scheduled for Friday in California with Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who faces a recall election next month, likely over the optics of attending a political event after a deadly terrorist attack.

CNAS Names Victoria Nuland, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, as CEO; Robert O. Work, former Deputy Secretary of Defense, Rejoins CNAS as Senior Defense Counselor

 

By Victoria Nuland, and Robert O. Work

 

Washington, January 9 – The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) Board of Directors has selected Victoria Nuland, the former U.S. Ambassador to NATO and former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, as the Center’s new Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Robert O. Work, former Deputy Secretary of Defense and former CNAS CEO, will rejoin CNAS as Senior Counselor for Defense.

 

As CEO, Ambassador Nuland will lead CNAS’ efforts to develop bold, innovative, and bipartisan solutions to the most pressing national security and defense issues. She succeeds Michèle Flournoy, who will join the Center’s board of directors and co-direct CNAS’ Next Generation National Security Leaders Fellowship. She will work with Richard Fontaine, who remains the organization’s president.

 

“The board undertook an exhaustive search for CNAS’ new chief executive, and we were unanimous in our support for Toria,” said CNAS Board of Directors Chairman Kurt Campbell. “She has big ideas, a record of leadership, and a wealth of policy experience at the highest levels. The team of Toria Nuland, Richard Fontaine, Bob Work, Michèle Flournoy, David Romley, and others at CNAS is a potent combination that will drive the Center forward.”

 

“I am honored to join CNAS at this vital time,” said Nuland. “For over a decade, the Center has excelled in offering pragmatic, bipartisan solutions to our nation’s most pressing national security and defense challenges. Those are needed more than ever today. As CEO, I look forward to working with the men and women of CNAS and leaders across the national security community to advance the best ideas and the strongest public consensus for principled American leadership in the world.”

 

Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), a member of the CNAS Board of Directors, echoed Campbell’s sentiment. “I have known Toria Nuland and her family
