>> that was on the "howard stern show," as you can probably tell from the bleeps. general marks, does he have a point or are we in the media empowering the next hackers by reporting on the contents of these stolen e-mails? >> jake, i must say, i heard probably zero of what seth rogen heard. all i heard was a bunch of bleeps. so its difficult for me to comment. >> he was basically saying that it was stolen material and we shouldnt be reporting that. >> and aaron sorkin said the same thing in "the...

>> general marks, we know this was the second attempt to get to somers and rescue him. and they were so deliberate in their verbiage when they said he was murdered. do you get because of that the sense that he was murdered by al qaeda, maybe as troops were -- the navy s.e.a.l.s were going in? and this wasnt some random fire fight and he was a casualty? >> christie, that would be the assumption on my part. clearly i dont have the details and well know more details the farther we go along. there w...

Beings to cause them to alter their path of life. when two-thirds of the civilians in israel are now in bomb shelters, i think theyve had that effect. doing this to commercial flights is just a further effect. but at the same token, its no different than lobbing a hand grenade when they launch these rockets into israel, they dont have the precision-guided bombs like western powers do. one of these things can drop anywhere. even with the iron dome defense, that doesnt evaporate these explosives t...

Talking about economic sanctions. even though theres some consequences to the u.k., this was something they still had to be prepared to do. putin is a tough customer, he will probably try to wait this out and hope there will be some ambiguity. the rebels do seem to be somewhat weak on the ground, i think this is the best moment to try to use that leverage. >> stand by for a moment. general marks, israelis have told me in the last few days, they have some sophisticated equipment on jet lineser th...

Not to have boots on the ground but in the embassy compound where there are already 200 some odd advisors that act in a similar capacity, bolstering that capacity and the other component, flights and were told those flights have begun. so flying over those isis positions getting intelligence that the u.s. can share with the iraqi side and possibly use if the president decides to launch missings or bombing missions over those sites, as well. >> general marks, the fact that this target list is bei...

They went in there. you know, halliburton got $7 billion in no-bid contracts before they went in. i mean, its either they didnt know what they were doing or they did it out of greed. and im not saying greed is a bad thing. but i mean, thats whats happened here, i think. >> general marks, let me read part of the op-ed here and let you respond. he says, "rarely has a u.s. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many. too many times to count mr. obama has told us he is ending the...
