Arms up. There is never an excuse for violence against police or those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. We need to get everyone to calm down and try to bring some peace to this. Welcome to hannity, this is a fox news alert. Riots escalated on the streets of ferguson, missouri, last night. Protesters threw molotov cocktails and rocks at Police Officers and as a result Law Enforcement was forced to respond with tear gas and smoke bombs in order to disburse these crowds. The high tensions literally come on the heels of saturdays Fatal Shooting of a black teenager by the name of Michael Brown. Meanwhile president obama interrupted his very busy vacation at Marthas Vineyard today to deliver a statement on the situation in ferguson, missouri. Lets take a look. When Something Like this happens, the local authorities, including the police, have a responsibility to be open and transparent about how they are investigating that death and how they are protecting the people in their communities. There is never an excuse for violence against police or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. Theres also no excuse for police to use Excessive Force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. And here in the United States of America Police should not be bullying or arresting journalist who is are just trying to do their jobs. Now, immediately following those remarks the president wasted no time at all. He headed straight to the Vineyard Haven golf club for an afternoon round. Back with us tonight with the very latest on the ground in ferguson is ferguson, missouri, police chief Thomas Jackson with us. Chief, what is your reaction to the president s remarks . Well, im glad he was able to speak out and say theres no excuse for violence against police and to use this incident as starting ground for looting and crime. I talked to some people from the Justice Department today, and i think hes probably going to get briefed a little ek lq1e9n during this whole thing these several nights of riots and all the arrests that weve made and all the conflict not a single protester has been injured. And im very proud of that. Can you explain your understanding of the governor bringing in state troopers in this situation and what that means for you and your force . Well, the Highway Patrol has been with us from the very beginning. Weve actually had a unified command with the commander of troops Highway Patrol and chief of police of the st. Louis county Police Department and myself and my commanders. And i dont understand the logic of actually removing the county police from the whole situation. The county Police Department is the largest Law Enforcement agency in st. Louis county. And theyve provided a tremendous amount of n manpow and assistance. Chief bellmer has been just a wonderful aid in this whole thing. And again, as i said, with all these police agencies, the Highway Patrol, st. Louis city, st. Louis county, st. Charles county, all their tactical operation units, we havent had a single protester injured. The only injuries have been to Police Officers. One had his ankle broken by a brick. I wanted to ask you about this because apparently last night molotov cocktails and rocks were being thrown at Police Officers. So there was an escalation. Had that happen before . I think this was the first time that they threw fire bombs at us, but we have taken gunfire pretty much every night. Youve taken gunfire, meaning shots have been fired at officers . Yes. Myself included. The only good cop is a dead cop, and then of course the chanting about getting the police. What is your reaction to that in light of, you know, regardless of where people may think things have gone wrong here . What is your reaction . We got it up there, its graffiti, the only good cops a dead cop, how do you react to that . Thats just a small amount of people coming from the outside just to cause trouble. They dont want to bring this thing to peace. Our local leaders, our local community, the people that are out there peacefully protesting. I understand that they want answers. I understand that this looks bad. But the people that are doing that that are calling for violence and committing violence, thats a small number. We only arrested 12 people last night. All right. Lets talk a little bit, the national paternal order of police criticized the president today. I want to put up on the screen what he had to say about this incident. He said i would contend that discussing Police Tactics from Marthas Vineyard is not helpful to ultimately calming the situation. I think what he has to do as president and as a constitutional lawyer is remember that there is a process in the United States and the process is being followed for good or for ill by the police and by the county and by the city and by the prosecutors office. Do you agree with that statement, sir . Sean, im just a policeman. Im not going to get involved in the politics of it. We have a problem that we need to resolve in the city of ferguson. And everybody elses agenda is way on the back burner for me right now. Let me there was an eyewitness on kmov news who gave her account. And she described that what you had confirmed last night, that there was an encounter in the car. You said the first shot was actually fired from the police car . Inside the police car, yeah. Okay. So she saw a struggle with Michael Brown, i assume, and the Police Officer while the Police Officer was in the car. And thats when the first shot was fired. And is it the contention of the Police Department that in fact mr. Broitkm looking for the Police Officer and struggling for the Police Officers gun . That was statement that the county police chief made. Again, as we talked before, im completely separated from the investigation including witness statements. Yeah. All right. Well, then the witness then went onto say that as she saw the door close on the police car, an officer was inside, and mr. Brown was on the outside. She said the two were wrestling through the car window. And then she said that they then tried to pull her phone out to take a photo of this and she said it didnt look right for them to be arm wrestling. She said the first shot came from the car window. And then she said after the shot the kid breaks away, the cop follows him, kept shooting. The kids body jerked as if he was hit. And as his body jerked, he turned around, put his hands up and the cop continued to walk up on him and shoot him. What would be the proper protocol assuming that this one eyewitness was right or this account was right. What would be the proper protocol in a situation describing the incident as she sees it . The protocol for the Police Officer . The protocol for the Police Officer, yes, sir. Any time theres a use of deadly force, as you know, it has to be the officer has to believe either his own life is in danger or the life of another is in danger. And thats what all the evidence and the witness accounts are going to point to. And those are the things that the prosecutors going to make his finding on justifiable homicide or unjustifiable homicide. Its going to be based on the totality of the evidence. And there are a lot of witnesss that are still being interviewed and a lot of statements still being taken. Let me ask you this. Break this into two parts. If this one eyewitness, her name is tiffany mitchell, shes 27 years old. If we broke it into two parts, if in fact shes describing a struggle where Michael Brown is trying to at least or struggling with a Police Officer in the car and thats where the first shot is fired, would that be say half of the incident . And then outside of the car if a person at any point puts his hands up at that point would you say it would be inappropriate to fire as she described it . Well, again, this goes to one witnesss testimony. And ive agreed to keep myself out of the im just asking about protocol. In other words, if at any point a witness puts their hands up after a shooting, is it appropriate then to keep firing . Or would that at that point does an officer have a responsibility to stop firing . Again, im not going to speak to the witnesss statements just because i said that i wouldnt. Im going to stick with that. Im going to let the all the evidence all the im sorry. The right of the public to know and the safety of the officer, i understand youre threading a needle there. At some point though do you think it will be soon when the police give their side of this, this officer gives his side of this . Because theres a lot of speculation out there. I dont think anybody really truly knows what happened has happened. Do you think it would be in the best interest of the public to at least hear that side . Well, that officers already given his side of the story to the detectives at st. Louis county Police Department. Im speaking publicly. I dont know if that would help the situation at this point. Okay. I just hope for the safety of the community in every way imaginable. I know this is a very tough time for everybody there. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. And coming up, always the p reverend al sharpton stoked the racial claims, he headed to missouri. But the mayor said this is becoming a spectacle. So is the reverend hurting or helping the situation . I talk to the st. Louis naacp. Hey i like your ride. I just wanted to let you know. You can save a ton by switching to progressive, just like squirrel here. We offer great discounts, like responsible rider, paid in full, and homeowners. Making us number one in motorcycle insurance. Isnt this romantic. It was. Going the distance to save you more. Now, thats progressive. To establish peace you must have fair justice for everyone. We want real peace. We dont want to just be told to shut up and suffer in silence. We must have answers. Now, despite the reverend al sharptons efforts to interject himself into the ferguson shooting, prominent black leaders as well as city officials are voicing major concern about his involvement and urging him to use caution. Now, just yesterday the ferguson mayor had this to say during an interview with news max and steve ballsberg. Take a listen. Sometimes star power is not always a good thing. Theres competing protests today and sharpton theres been some comments made by some leaders who dont want sharptons protest to happen today. Africanamerican leaders and some of the africanamerican elected officials. So its unfortunate, you know, even the groups concerned here are not necessarily on the same page. And earlier this morning the niece of dr. Martin luther king jr. Said this on fox friends. Take a listen. When al sharpton comes, sometimes i dont know what his goal is, but people continue to riot and things escalate. So im asking now, speak peace, reverend sharpton. Speak love. Speak justice. But you can have Justice Without violence. Our jesus christ showed that, gandhi showed that. Here with us st. Louis naacp officer with us. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. Whats your reaction to, the new black panther party, lewis and reverend al sharpton there on the ground. Helpful . Does it hurt . Is there a rush to judgment . Well, no, i dont think its necessarily a rush to judgment on his part or anybody elses part at this point in time. I think were all looking to find out what the answers are. As far as i was concerned hes basically called for Peaceful Demonstrations and at the same time hes asked for the Justice Department to do the right thing and come in and provide some outside eyes on the prize and lets see whats going on. Do you have a conclusion . Theres obviously been an outcry in the community about this, and theres been violence and mayhem and looting and the only good cop is a dead cop and kill the police. What is your reaction to all of those calls for violence and the reaction of some . Well, you know, i guess its easy for some people to reach conclusions when they look at things from afar based on what weve been able to ascertain on the ground here on that sunday right after the vigil. What really started all of this was the police shot a flare up in the air, the crowd did not move. They then turned around and shot a flare into the ground. And it skipped towards the crowd. And the crowd responded. Im not saying that they were supposed to is that supposed to justify the looting . Molotov cocktails thrown at police, rocks thrown at police. Again, i said i dont think that justifies anything. But if you want to know what precipitated the action, all im doing is giving you the facts on what occurred. I dont think violence, i dont think looting, i dont think anybody dying justifies anything whether it was intentional or unintentional. But the fact is if were going to look at something, we need to ascertain what exactly happened and then base conclusions on that. Thats always i was doing was giving you the facts. I wasnt there. You werent there. To some degree i wasnt there when they shot the flare, but weve identified witnesses who told us im talking about the shooting of Michael Brown. You werent there, i wasnt there, reverend sharpton wasnt there. No. And weve seen this reaction. I understand that people may rush to conclusion. What do you make of what the eyewitnesses have said . For example this one eyewitness i referred to in the last segment, tiffany mitchell, saying there was a struggle with the officer, Michael Brown, Michael Brown reaching into the police car. And that that was where the first shot was fired. What do you make of what i would call part one of this struggle . Because, you know, that in and of itself raises a lot of questions, doesnt it . It raises some questions, bu, on the other hand weve identified four witnesses so far who said something just opposite. So the question is is for well, she seems to corroborate what the other three say and that is at some point there was quite a distance between the officer and Michael Brown and the officer fired. So there seems to be two parts of this. That is the initiation of contact which was when the Police Officer was in the car, and then the second part of this is when Michael Brown was going down the street and whether or not he had his hands up and the officer still fired, right . Now every witness weve spoken with and that weve put in front of federal authority has basically said that the officer reached his hand out the car and grabbed Michael Brown by the neck. And that was the initiation of the contact. So if anybody says something different, its a witness i havent spoken with. Well, all she was saying is they appeared to be wrestling from the car. Im not really sure each witness each witness we had said something different. The mayor of new york and the new York City Police chief recently said when you are being arrested, dont are cyst. This has nothing to do this question really has nothing to do with a specific incident. But weve seen a lot of incidents where people do resist arrest. Do you agree that it is best for anybody when the police come up to you and say youre under arrest to not resist, do you agree with that sentiment . I agree with it when the police do say youre under arrest. In the Michael Brown situation that did not occur. Well, you dont know that, you werent there. No. Im saying from the witnesses we talked to and we have some idea what the policemans statements was, that did not occur. Okay. Bottom line is i think for everybody not to make a rush to judgment is probably the best thing. Absolutely. And i believe the facts will come out. And certainly those witnesses will hold a lot of weight in a court of law, i think. Absolutely. Thank you so much for being with us. We really appreciate it. Thank you. Coming up youll meet a lifelong st. Louis resident who says the Police Protection is definitely needed and he has a message for the reverend al sharpton. Plus tonight his weapon was drawn and he said ill shoot you orcg[3 im g to shoot. In the same moment the first shot went off. An eyewitness recounts what he said happened this weekend right before Michael Brown was in fact shot. That story and much more and Charles Krauthammer tonight here on hannity. I heard the tire squeaking on the truck. And as i get closer is when i see them through the window. The kid was pulling off and the cop was pulling in. It just didnt look right for them to be wrestling. The first gunshot came through the window. I started getting out of the way because the shots just came after that. At this time the kid breaks away and he starts running away from the cop. The cop follows him and kept shooting. And the kids body jerked as if he was hit. And as his body jerks, he turns around, puts his hands up and the cop continues to walk up to him and shoot him until he goes all the way down. That was tiffany mitchell, one eyewitness to the shooting. And as the investigation into the Fatal Police Shooting in ferguson, missouri, continues, more are slowly coming forward to tell their version of what happened that fateful day. And another man named Dorian Johnson was with the victim, Michael Brown, at the time of the incident. Heres how he claims it all went down. He just reached his arm out the window and grabbed my friend around his neck and was trying to as he was trying to choke my friend and he was trying to get away and the officer then reached out and grabbed his arm to pull him into the car. So now it was like the officers pulling him inside the car, hes trying to pull away. And at no time the officer said that he was going to do anything until he pulled out his weapon. His weapon was drawn and he said ill shoot you, or im going to shoot. And in the same moment the first shot went off. And joining me now is the attorney for that witness, freeman bos li. Welcome to the program. Thank you for being here. Its a pleasure. How are you . Im good. Thank you, sir. Why dont we start with your client. Lets start at the beginning. There seems to be two parts of this. One is what happened at the car, in the car, struggle in the car. And the second is after Michael Brown left the car area. Lets start with the first part. What does your witness say happened in and around the police car . Well, its my understanding that they were walking down the middle of the street, officer tells them to get out of the street, they keep walking, he backs up the car and brings it extremely close to them. He then tells them they have an exchange, he attempts to get out of the car but hes so close to them he cant get out. They then have a few words with him. He reaches out of the window with his left hand and grabs big mike by the throat. Big mike is so big that it doesnt faze him so much as it is astounds him. And he attempts to get away from him. The officer then grabs ahold of big mikes shirt, pulls his shirt and tries to handle mike through the car. And he cannot. Mike is too big. So mike isdgen saying, man, let go. And he doesnt let him go. Then he says im going to shoot you. And the next time he gets ready to Say Something he just, pow, and he shot. He shot at the car, not inside the vehicle. The officer lets big mike go. Big mike and my client, they break off and they start running. There are three automobiles stacked up behind one behind the other because the Police Officers car my client gets behind the first car and then he sees big mike run by. And then the officers close behind. My client looks up, he sees the officer fire another shot. This one hits mike in the back. Big mike then throws his hands up in there, turns around and they have some type of conversation and then he shoots as the officer closes the gap between he and big mike, he continues to fire and shoots about seven times and one of them is in the head. Let me ask you this, one question, only contradiction you gave here to what the police chief said is he said the first shot was fired from inside the car. Youre disputing that . Yeah. The chief wasnt there. No, the chief wasnt there. But ballistics will show hes only going off what somebody told him. But ballistics would show that. Youre an attorney, correct . Absolutely. The only question, what im trying to understand is youre describing a situation where the only thing that these kids did was walk in the middle of the street when the cops said to move out of the street, they didnt move right away and he got mad and that resulted in this . Thats what this all comes down to . In many respects that happens often in st. Louis. These young men are taken out of their cars, theyre put in handcuffs and sat on the side of the road. Most of the time they havent done anything. So so this is not just a first incident. You say the Police Officer basically assassinated, that your client will testify that this Police Officer pretty much assassinated this young man, Michael Brown, in cold blood . Thats going to be the testimony of your client, correct . No, sir. My client uses the word murder. Okay. Murder. I guess technical legal term. What did you think of the eyewitness, tiffany mitchell, and what we just played coming in. Do you think that in any way corroborates or contradicts what your client is saying . Well, you know, people see different things. But i think theres a thread that runs through it that basically corroborates what it is that my client said. All right, sir. Thank you. And its a sad story any way around. Thank you for being with us and telling your clients side of the story. Appreciate it. My next guest is a st. Louis resident. Says we dont yet know all the facts about what happened and that the people jumping to conclusions. Hes also fed up with the reverend al sharpton, the president , eric holder getting involved fanning the flames meanwhile the bigger issues plague the community and ferguson and beyond. Joining me director of the black sphere, kevin, whats your reaction to the attorney of one of the eyewitnesses . I think, you know, theres further investigation needed. I think in evaluating this, sean, a lot of this could have been prevented had these young men just said, you know what, this is police, theyre asking us to do something and you do it. I know thats a these days with the type of moral decay that we have its terrible for people to just obey the law and just follow orders considering that this guy has a gun. He also has the authority to use it. Im not condoning anything if it did happen the way Freeman Bosley says, i think its a tragic thing and that cop should be prosecuted to the full extent. But i think of what i would done and im a pretty tough guy and i would have pulled over said, hey, officer, whatever it is, you may be having a bad day, lets resolve it. What do you think of the president s comments and the reverend being on the ground there . I watched reverend sharpton up close and personal at freddies at 125th street where the white interloper came up. That ended in tragedy. Is it good or bad for the community that hes there, the new black panther partys there . I think its insignificant that sharptons there. I think its more of an idea he wants people to believe that hes relevant. So he came in. I have people say to me this event occurred because sharpton was coming. I said, no, i was at that event, some of it. And those people were there whether sharpton showed up or not. What people arent talking about, sean, is that people were saying f sharpton and f barack obama, theyre not doing anything to help this community. So as much as i accept the peaceful protest, i do believe that there are people there who were sort of looking to fan the flames and i think reverend sharpton was one of those. Thank you so much for being with us kevin jackson, appreciate your time tonight. Coming up, president obama interrupts his busy Martha Vineyards vacation and inserts himself yet again into a local Law Enforcement matter. When we come back our great Great American panel will weigh in on that and more. And later, breaking news out of iraq tonight as the countrys prime minister, Nouri Al Maliki, caves.

Racial tension has sparked much chaos in ferguson, missouri, this week after an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed by a Police Officer. And president obama took precious time away from his luxurious Marthas Vineyard vacation to address the situation. Now, his comments mark yet another instance of the president injecting himself into local Law Enforcement matters. You may remember this. I dont know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But i think its fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. Number two, that the Cambridge Police acted stupidly. Theres a long history in this country of africanamericans and latinos being stopped by Law Enforcement disproportionately. Thats just a fact. But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if i had a son, hed look like trayvon. Here with me to discuss the president s appetite for wading into tense local situations, Fox News Contributor steven hayes, denine borelli, Kirsten Powers with us. Three instances, lewis gates, Trayvon Martin and this case. How many kids died in chicago . Is that a fair legitimate criticism . Why here, why not all the kids that have died in chicago . Well, i think you could apply that to a lot of different things. Why does he speak out about a lot of things, why doesnt he speak out about the christians being persecuted in the middle east for example. Until recently he wouldnt even acknowledge it was going on. He cant talk about every single thing. When it comes to these issues i think it was right for him to come out and Say Something today. This is an issue thats a major issue right now in our country. I think he gave a very good statement on it. Sean, i think obama inserting himself is no different than al sharpton showing up on the scene. He added nothing to the situation. Again, we have a president who was leading from behind. Hes making comments that really, you know and from Marthas Vineyard, no doubt. That doesnt help the situation either. My biggest concern are his comments about eric holder being involved in this now. He recently said he is an activist Law Enforcement person. We dont need that in our country. We need him to do what he is supposed to do as a chief Law Enforcement officer and not be the chief activist for our country. I see this is going to make the situation even worse. One thing, steve. I agree with the last point. Eric holder the president announcing eric holders involvement is not going to be reassuring in the way the president might imagine it might be. But i have to say that i thought his Statement Today was much different than the one that he gave about the harvard incident. It was much more measured. I thought it struck pretty much the appropriate tone. He said lets not jump to conclusions, everybody take a step back, look at this clearly. He didnt jump in front and condemn anybody. He said, you know, violence against the police is not justified, police shouldnt use too much force. These are things that i think everybody can agree on. I actually thought it was a very good statement from the president. I learned when i was a local radio host in atlanta, the morning that the Atlanta Journal constitution came out and they said that Richard Jewel fits the profile of the lone bomber because he lives with his mother. I was on the radio. I didnt know he was listening to me at the time. And i said that is absurd. Turned out that he was a hero in the end. I dont like to rush to judgment in any of these cases. This case seems to break down into two major areas, what happened, was there a struggle in the car, was there a struggle over the Police Officers gun or did the Police Officer grab Michael Brown . And then the second thing is i think the police are going to have a really hard time, you know, in court against these eyewitnesses saying that this kid was shot in the back and shot with his hands up. Right. Well, also assuming that i mean, theyve done an autopsy. They havent released the results of it, but theyre going to know if he was shot in the back. Thats an easy thing to figure out. I think the way theyve handled this not sharing information and the way theyve been intimidating people and arresting journalists÷ shooting tear gas they didnt want to hand over their id. If youre a journalist and a cop asks for your id you dont get requested to provide id just for sitting in a mcdonalds. If asked. Whats the crime . Because of the whats going on on the ground. That is why they were approaching the reporters the way that they did. They were doing their work there. Give me a break. Why dont they go up and ask you for your id to the point of escalation thats why they were asking them for their id. But we havent heard anything at all about anything that was happening in mcdonalds that would have justified the police asking. I dont think weve heard anything at all. Maybe there is something. Its a very volatile situation. Molotov cocktails, rocks, tear gas i think youre right. Gosh, it kills me to agree with what is happening to me . I think the challenge that the police face is separating the protesters. There are reasons to protest. Based on what we know now, there are plenty of reasons to be protesting. But looting. Eyewitness testimony is very compelling. The police have not come out and given their side of the story if there is one to give. But the challenge for the police is separating the protesters from the looters. You have to handle looters in a tough way. And they should be aggressive with the looters. Kids are coming out with mag wheels thats horrible. But that doesnt in any way justify going up and i think harassing reporters in a mcdonalds who are there to get wifi and to file their stories. Good to see you guys. Thank you. Kirs ten, you and steven make peace tonight. I know. When we come back, breaking news out of Nouri Al Malikis agreed to step down as the iraqi prime minister.

Earlier today president obama took time out of his busy vacation schedule and golfing and partying with Hillary Clinton to briefly address the ongoing genocide in iraq. And just a few hours later news broke that Nouri Al Maliki has agreed to step down as the iraqi prime minister. Here with the very latest on the white houses handling of this very troubling situation, author of the number one New York Times best seller, things that matter, our friend, Charles Krauthammer is back with us. His book has been on the best sellers list for ten months. I was only number one for five weeks. Thanks a lot. Making me look bad. Well, i do what i can. I got lucky. Your nationals arent doing too bad. Better than my yankees i think this year. Let me first before we get to the iraq situation, let me play for you this police chief from earlier this afternoon. A lot of focus on whats happened in ferguson, missouri. And for the president to get hit this hard, it said i would content that discussing Police Tactics from Marthas Vineyard is not helpful to ultimately calming this situation. I think what he has to do as president and as a constitutional lawyer is remember that there is a process in the United States. And the process is being followed, for good or for ill, by the police and by the county and by the city and by the prosecutors office. I mean, for a president of the United States to get lectured that way about not involving himself. What was your reaction to that . Look, i think whats happening now is there are a lot of people here who not only are enflamed, both the rioters and the people who have to prevent the riots and feel that they are being maltreated both sides, but also a sense of some people being over their heads. You know, the local Police Chiefs generally dont have to deal with national and i think they resent being told what to do from afar. But, you know, is the president working on what hes seeing on television or is he getting some informed opinion from his aides . I assume he is from the fbi and others. We dont know the whole story. I think its always better for the president to speak more generally when the facts arent known. But i thought he covered a lot of bases in which he basically said to all sides to calm down. I dont think thats a moral equivalence. He was, you know, very straight about the rioters and the looting and all that. But youve got to be real careful. Remember with professor gates he jumped in right away with not much evidence. And then he had to have the beer summit as a way to undo the mistakes he made. Is it a fair criticism that theres been three high profile cases where hes jumped in, the gates case, Trayvon Martin and now this case, and then look at all the kids that have died in chicago, his old home state. And he really hasnt said much about that. Is that a fair criticism . Well, i think theyre separate issues. I think its a criticism that he perhaps hasnt said or done enough about the violence inner city, which is not interrational. But when it comes to a situation like this, look, the fact is we have a doleful legacy of hundreds of years of discrimination. I think its a huge exaggeration and an exploitation for that history for an al sharpton to show up every time theres a racial incident involving whites and blacks. But nonetheless given the history, its a neuroal jik point and it is unfortunately always going to be so until theres a sense universally in the country that theres equal justice. Charles, i look at this president. I look at him on vacation. I look at the situation in the world. And i think to myself that for a guy that once said the deal you make with the American People is is if you give me this job, that means you dont have leisure, you dont have family time, you dont take vacations. He seems very out of touch to me. How do you analyze the way hes handling a world crises while hes on vacation golfing every day . Indifference, distans, look of interest. When hes in the white house, from the tone he adopts and the way he speaks. As of these are not the things that interest him, that they sort sort of annoy him this, is a man that wants the world to go away. That is what he promised, hed get us out of wars and had this naive expectation if he gets us out, the world stays the sachl. He didnt have a clue that when the worlds one super power withdraws from anywhere, it creates a vacuum that creates chaos as bad guys fill the vacuum. That is the law of nature and that is what happened over the five years hes been in the administration now, hes reaping the whirl wind of today not being prepared for that and being indifferent to consequences. Do you think when he drew a red line in the sand for syria and didnt follow up, he ran on them, and hes going to pull us out of iraq. And are those two things connected in terms of the rise of isis . I believe they are. Isis able to grow in syria. I think the vacuum created because we left and didnt provide training, left a vacuum in iraq. Do you agree with that . There is no question about that. Obama likes to say, and he said during reelection campaign, i ended the war with iraq. He did not. David petraeus ended the war with iraq. He managed to actually extracate awes. Al qaeda in iraq was humiliated. Fellow sunnis joined us in defeating them, they incubated a new in syria, where against the advice of the secretary of state and joint chiefs of staff, against all that advice, he would not supply and on the secular rebels. In the vacuum created again, vacuum that happens when you withdraw American Power and american influence. In the vacuum, al qaeda in iraq was resurrected as isis. It became strong. It was unmolested there, now, creating this invasion of iraq and the trouble we see. This is a directlytraceable cause and affect. Charles crawedhammer, congrats on the book. Congrats on the book.
