jennifer, thank you. let s bring in mike barrett, former defense department intelligent officer from washington. i remember looking at clips recently of the vietnam war where the president said, we re going to advise them. we re sending them in to help our friends in south vietnam. the same words this time. how concerned are you about this bunch if at all? i m pretty concerned about isis but also concerned about terrorist threats in yemen, threats across north africa so i think we ll be okay in terms of the obama administers and any kind of administration and any kind of mission creep because they make it obvious they re not interested in engaging militarily. we ll probably be too cautious as opposed to digging in too far. what about this abandoned chemical weapons facility? is that much of nothing or is there something to be concerned about there? there s two things to be a aware of. one is as the state department said apparently the weapons there are not of military val. yo
