Experts call on Obama to put forth new National Security Strategy.

In the waning days of the Bush administration, a team of Washington heavyweights compiled a comprehensive analysis of America's national-security apparatus that said the system was deeply flawed, inefficient, poorly coordinated, and rampant with waste and misallocation.

That group, which was guided by several future Obama administration officials, including national security advisor James L. Jones, has sent the White House an update of its work, stating that while preliminary steps are underway, the fundamental structural problems in Washington's administration of national security policy still remain.

"Momentum for reform is building, but it is largely rhetoric and good intentions," reads the new report by the Project on National Security Reform (PNSR), a congressionally funded group that was begun as the result of a cooperative agreement between the Defense Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

"Strategic management of the national security system remains absent and is desperately needed to make it integrated, cohesive, and agile," it continues.
