Take a look at who Mr. Watts is affiliated with: the Foreign Policy Research Institute.
Here's the low down on them:http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Foreign_Policy_Research_Institute/

"The Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) is a foreign policy think tank based in Philadelphia. Founded at the University of Pennsylvania by Austrian-American diplomat Robert Strausz-Hupéin in 1955, FPRI originally aimed to “enlighten political leaders about the nature of the protracted [Cold War] conflict, the historical and geographical realities that shaped it, and how to win it.” Today, FPRI’s mission is to bring “the insights of scholarship to bear on the development of policies that advance U.S. national interests,” especially with respect to China and the Islamic world."-From Right Web.

While I have no doubt that Mr.Watts is a highly competent professional and his testimony is factual, I also am mindful about the agenda his organization is trying to advance as well.
