care about civilians being killed. we just care how they were killed. >> right. >> that's not a comfortable moral position to be in. politically, it's going to be at least as difficult. the support that the administration has gotten, for example, from the turks and from the saudis is predicated on the hope that under president trump we will shift our focus from islamic state to their number one target, which is the assad regime. so we're going to have quite a challenge here trying to manage all this at different levels. >> can i add one thing? >> yes. >> you know, the one thing that's astonished me is secretary tillerson's statement that the future of assad was up to the syrian people. it struck me as an outrageous statement by our head diplomat. assad has devastated the entire country. it's a civil war. this is not geneva, for god sakes. i cannot imagine why he would imply that it's in their hands.
