Wow. If this doesn't inflate your ego beyond acceptable limits, nothing will. Enormous dissatisfaction with your own work is almost a prerequisite for the attempt.

DNI will be doing a review. Here's a teaser: As far as I can tell, Boyd didn't believe and certainly never wrote that "operating inside an opponent's OODA loop" means "we make two or more decisions for every one our opponent can manage." In fact, under Boyd's scheme, you'd love to put the opponent into a situation where he has to make more decisions than you.

Chet, that makes sense. We are changing our counter-insurgency strategy quarterly in Iraq (lots of decisions). The most recent one is a half-hearted attempt at oil spots announced by Rice.
In that sense, our loop is akin to a Hampster on a rotating wheel. Lots of decision making but zero progress.
