Saying we have to rethink this? >> well, lets separate two kinds of missile threats to aircraft. one is what we saw over the ukraine which was a quite sophisticated missile with a range that exceeded 30,000 feet. and thats obviously something thats capable of bringing down an aircraft at cruising altitude. that is not normally what one sees in the hands of terrorists. there have been a couple of occasions in the last 20 years where for some reason or another, it was an accident and a plane was b...

Why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss...

Were playing a weak hand. the russians have strategic interest in ukraine. the one weakness they have is their economy. we can only affect that some. we should do everything we can to cripple their economy. ultimately we need the europeans. they have been feckless. perhaps it will stiffen their fine spine to do things to weaken russias economy. thats really the only leverage we have. >> all right. we got a little bit of time left and i want to talk about one of the other big developments and tha...

Target of terrorism. >> we do not know why twa flight 800 crashed. if it proves to be a criminal act, other security steps may be required. whatever needs to be done, we will do it. i will use the full powers of the presidency. and if congressional authorization is required, i am certain we will have full bipartisan congressional support. >> at that point in time, the investigation was looking at almost every possibility including state actors. we definitely thought about gadhafi and libya since...

We can only affect that some. we should do everything we can to affect their economy. we need the europeans. they have been feckless. >> all right. we got a little bit of time left and i want to talk about one of the other big developments and thats extension of talks with iran. george, you have been skeptical of negotiations with iran but youre skeptical of any other alternative. is this a good decision >> its find to extend the talks so long as were planning to put in place containment and det...

Number one. number two, putin has to be put in the dock wet of world public opinion. hes the latest gadhafi here, if that turns out to be case, based on a comparable situation involving lockerbie. in the end, he has to be isolated as a result. remember, he was on the march, not only in crimea and ukraine but also in eastern europe. we have to use this incident as a way of rolling back his worst tendencies. the washington post, david ignatius says, "this nightmare incident could have a perverse...

>> what did the writing of this book how does it have you thinking about the arab spring and instability across the middle east? obviously, some interaction with the character but your takeaway. >> i would have to say i was cautiously pessimistic and hopeful at the outset of the arab spring. having lived in the arab world, i was always concerned about what was going to happen when we sort of took the lid off and i have to admit when our first sort of gut response to the uprising in egypt was tha...

>> there was obviously some suspicion that it might be a terrorist act. >> we do not know what caused this tragedy. i want to say that again. we do not know as of this moment. >> the investigation was looking at almost every possibility, including state actors. we definitely thought about gadhafi and libya. we were look at iraq and saddam hussein. the president was prepared to take whatever action needed to be taken. >> it was a huge potential crime scene. >> this investigation would have been l...

>> i think people have to understand theyre going to get worse before they get better. theyre going to get worse before they get worse. the president of the united states over two administrations has made it worse. what we have done is erupted a flawed old order. we have essentially knocked the skids out from under the old order and weve been unable or unwilling to put anything better in its place. american commitment to quote, unquote, regime change from iraq through libya has taken this old or...

Gadhafi is eavil. he has to get out. where was the follow-up? >> i think setting aside the morality and ethics, its actually absolutely unrealistic. it is not a foreign policy realism to yearn for the old authoritarian regimes. the world has changed. we shouldnt be overstating our own western agency in other parts of the world. sure, we can act, would he can push things at the margins, but really what is happening is you are seeing these young cohorts absolutely empowered by the digital age and ...
