The Failure Factory gives a full account of some of the worst excesses of bloated government and bureaucratic infighting, including the Bush administration’s cozying up to Wahhabi-dominated Saudi Arabia and so-called “outreach” efforts by the Pentagon and Justice Department to radical Muslim pressure groups such as CAIR. Since the election of President Barack Obama, government bureaucracy has continued to promote the "blame America first" policies - viewing the United States as the main cause of the world's ills, as opposed to Islamist extremists or other adversaries.

Gertz reveals:

• How Obama's disastrous national security policies - and his stable of advisers - have put America at risk


• A politicized 2007 National Intelligence Estimate judged that Tehran had halted its nuclear weapons program. Yet Iran continues covert uranium enrichment that is universally viewed as geared toward building nuclear weapons, especially missile warheads. The shockingly false 2007 report was followed by an equally suspect NIE on Iran's nuclear program produced in May 2009 that was the basis for President Obama abandoning a controversial missile-defense system in Eastern Europe.


• Flagrant cases of sabotage by top State Department officials that have emboldened states such as Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Communist China


• Stunning new intelligence failures, including one that may have allowed a terrorist group to penetrate the FBI and CIA


• How Democrats are exploiting the antiwar movement for political gain, with little regard for the potentially devastating circumstances

The book's predictions about the Obama administration are coming true, including:

• An emphasis on diplomacy and arms control over concrete defenses


• How China is continuing to build up its military forces in utmost secrecy while rebuffing U.S. efforts to set up talks and exchanges on military and strategic nuclear issues

"The current out-of-control federal bureaucracy is not just an inefficient nuisance to the effective functioning of government," Gertz argues, "it is a danger to our national security because entrenched bureaucrats are ignoring the threats to America at a time when those dangers are growing."
