escape. they thought they were smarter than law enforcement. but like you described when it came out, it all changed for them. this rob the store, shoot the police officer, car jack the guy, there s no plan there. that s just, you know, manic flight. how common is it to see a suspect or terrorist who has capacity for pulling off the details but struggles to have what might be called a master plan, as you re pointing out, no exit strategy? i think it is common with these small, you know, one, two, three groups of people. it s hard to pull off the
way but always had an off ramp or exit strategy. do you see that this time around, congressman sanchez? certainly it has always been that way. sort of a rattle the weapons and then oh, we need food and sort helping in that sense. you know, again, we have a new leader. we don t he has consolidated the power very, very quickly. we don t know if it is because of him or the people right behind him. it might have been the inner circle to the former two leaders. and if it is the inner circle it could possibly be that they are going to react in the same way. but on the other hand he may really be consolidating on his own and maybe he just has a different streak or a different viewpoint of what the west it or maybe he feels that he has been able to move forward his nuclear program faster than maybe be we predicted. although we have pretty good evidenced that he is not
