Airfield. >> jon: you mentioned a strike on the airfield. there are six airbases that bashar al-assad controls. the u.s. could have gone a lot farther than it did. do you suggest that this is roughly proportional? is this about right in proportion to compare to what assad did launching the chemical attack? >> that is the thing. wmd use on your own civilian population is out of proportion. if we looked it up, there would be tens of many more times people killed in the previous week by a conventio...

Distraction. if they have dock thuments out there -- what ive been arguing is if this happens in the future, we have to report on who stole the documents and who put them out as we do on the content, as well. so everybody wishes we had talked about that more during the election. i think the media has a lot of tough choices and a lot to think about moving forward. >> she also spent some time with "the new york times" talking about syria. we should note this was before we learned what was going do...

And theyre in priority and the priority changes every day. so, as a response if he uses more chemical weapons, we could attack them. but every time this happens, it escalates the problem. and that makes it difficult both for us and other actors in the area. >> colonel jack jacobs, thanks for your insight. coming up next, hillary clinton on the record, the 2016 democratic presidential nominee explains why she lost the election. as we continue to follow the breaking news from syria, listen to ...

Advice. i would welcome that. i hope that he continues to follow her advice. look, i think she obviously approved of the concept of bombing those airfields. but what i know for sure, and she said this a lot during the campaign, we need a strategy. that was a tactic. we need a strategy, we need an endgame. everybody is looking for the president to show us. >> but robby, is there an endgame strategy in syria? this is something that the previous administration wrestled with for the bulk of their ad...
