Report: Former CIA Chief James Woolsey to Serve as Donald Trump’s Senior National Security Adviser
Trump calls the Iraq War a "disaster" (even though he initially supported it) and then hires one of the architects of the Iraq War as his national security/foreign policy adviser.
Woolsey was a key member of the Project for the New American Century which was a neoconservative think tank largely founded to encourage a second war with Iraq. Woolsey maintained that there existed a connection between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and 9/11. Woolsey also promoted the conspiracy theory that Saddam was also responsible for the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. Woolsey was an ardent supporter of Laurie Mylroie.

James Woolsey
James Woolsey, former CIA director during President Bill Clinton’s administration, has joined Donald Trump’s presidential campaign to serve as senior adviser on national security, intelligence and defense, Politico reported Monday. Brianna Ehley writes Woolsey cited Trump’s proposal to lift defense budget caps as the reason behind his decision to join the Republican candidate’s campaign.
