facility, the military has excel response, plans, and it integrates very well. so there is no doubt in my mind that part of the reason that we know so many details already is the seam less command structures. i want to bring jim cavanagh back, he was a special agent, help us understand how the navy and other agencies work together to investigate something like this, and communicate all of this with the public. right, you know, it is their command structure. it is just so good, so professional. they are dealing right with you if you re a law enforcement commander, so the communication is excellent. they have the cinc police, a commander, and they have base
ten with what donald trump is using the brussels summit to do today? this is ari kind of like a rorshaks test. it will reach guidance on what it will want to do and new and revised command structures. but nato, while it s a military alliance, it s strength is its political unity. this is what trump continues to attack and erode. and that just adds risk. if you do at some point in time face some sort of crisis in the future going forward, particularly with russia. malcolm the context here for anyone who has followed international politics is pretty stark. post-presidents are positive on nato. take a look. nato has been a success by any measure. the only force capable of
air strikes do you think the u.s. should have i do think the u.s. should have. u.s. had a large role in creating and supporting that essentially we allowed it to fail. there are moderate command structures that have formed in the range of 25 to 30,000 fighters that have taken over. that are interesting in sitting down. we will start receiving u.s. supreme court in the future. because the u.s. didn t take action, just a short time ago, the that impowered the islamists? that is correct. i don t know if you saw the editorial that the saudi ambassador to the united kingdom wrote saying that the u.s. has basically let syria slide. this is an issue that s happening in our own backyard and involves actors outside of syria. it involves iran and lebanese hezbollah, things that directly counter our interest. we are going to go all in on
jenna: at the same time, joe, every week it seems like we get another report out of iran that talks about some underground nuclear plant that is building weapons that we don t know about. the fear of nuclear armageddon as you put it still seems to be among us. what other weapons, or what other tools do we have? because i understand this bomb was supposed to be able to hit those underground facilities. what else do we have to defend ourselves? it was a very clumsy way of doing it. because the weapons were so imprecise we would basically take out a whole city in order to get at command headquarters. we have pinpoint accuracy. we have lots of ways getting at underground shelters including knocking outdoor ways to it. including burrowing weapons that will go underground before they detonate. nonnuclear i m talking about. we can knock out most of the command structures we need with nonnuclear weapons. we don t really need nuclear weapons for any of the military threats we face today which
infantry skills. inside they are working on bigger think kind of projects, how armies operate, how armies conduct payroll, how armies organize command structures. frankly, a lot of the skills that don t transfer very well from first world countries to developing nations. so, in effect, they are going to be there as an insurance policy, in case things get really bad and they will do as much training, high level training as they can and as much as the iraqis are willing to accept. ari, the president seemed to indicate last night this is a turning of the page. in other words, if iraq blows up from two years from now, we are not going back to do anything about it. is that realistic? we will see. i think two looming deadlines that president obama has set. one is we begin the withdrawal from afghanistan in july of 2011 and the second is that we will be out of iraq entirely all 50,000 which includes 5,000 special forces, the tough guys who go into hot spots and the
