Former Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) and former Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) discussed the successes and failures of U.S. policy in the 25 years since the 9/11 attacks. Harman cited the elimination of Osama bin Laden as a success, but criticized the misallocation of resources and the alienation of allies, noting that U.S. diplomacy and aid agencies are underfunded. Chambliss agreed, expressing hope in current intelligence leadership and their readiness to pass legislation to ensure national security.

WHY IT MATTERS

The discussion highlights ongoing debates about the effectiveness and balance of U.S. foreign policy and national security strategies, particularly concerning the allocation of resources between military, diplomatic, and intelligence efforts.
