What is the u.s. up against right now? what do you think the administration should be thinking about considering? in the days ahead? >> there are two issues, jim. number one is whats the capability of a taliban leadership to control their own followers? and we dont know that. we think its not that good because theyve put out a sort of ideology. but we know they are split into factions, into tribes, into regions. some are not the same ethnic group. so we know there are going to be pushes and pull...

Exploit the anniversary of 9/11 and the messaging to recruit new followers. meantime, republican lawmakers say the botched withdrawal made our enemies more dangerous. >> leaned eyes and ears on the ground to see the threat so they can respond to the fit and eliminate it. we dont have that capability more. and, chris, we are going back to pre-9/11 right now, but its worse. its worse because now they are fully armed, with our weapons, our helicopters, and pallets of our cash. >> kennedy: what a ho...

So dad went home that night and he wrote the theme song. ♪ for a three-hour tour ♪ >> then "gilligans island went on the air. >> you know, they could make a latrine, they could make huts, they could make radio receivers, they could make a cinema complex. a raft was beyond their capability. >> the critics hated it, thought it was the worst show ever. everybody said, this is the stupidest plot weve seen, this isnt going to last five minutes. we havent been off the air for 50 years. >> we may h...
