Important that the united states and, again, working with our allies just be aware that there are options we may have to exercise here in order to make sure that something hoar rrific does not happen that well all regret. do we have the capabilities? you bet. the united states has those capabilities. i think our allies have compacts. i just dont think we should start taking things off the table. i think we need to protect all of our options in this situation. >> and do you think that president b...
