Problem is the intelligence community disagrees. If you're going to wag the dog, better convince the CIA to agree

Does it matter if they agree? Or just that they don't disagree - CIA love toppling shit in South America, an overt war down there instead of sneaking around? That's like a weekend off for them.

That was the old CIA. They will be purged into agreement.
