Companionable soul. dont forget that. and then the bush/cheney administration looked the other way on soviet georgia. so they dont have any credibility on that. but what ted cruz is doing is what the republicans have been trying to do to barack obama from the very beginning. they use the same words over and over again. they use feckless, you know, that he is feckless, that he is weak, that he wears mom jeans, as if. anything they can get their hands on to try to take him down as a strong leader ...

They hate him so much. they cant stand anything that he does. and so if the president were doing what senators cruz and paul want him to do on ukraine, on syria, on libya, benghazi, fill in the blank, they would hate him for it. so i think there is a mix of what you say is whether the party is embarrassed by iraq or proud of iraq going into iraq, or is it -- added to the combination just a visceral knee-jerk hatred of the president that no matter what he does they dont like it. >> well, let me a...

Intimidate us into doing what the hawks want us to do which always leads to being stuck in yet another geopolitical trap. how many times do you hear, we have to keep all the options on the table? translation, we need to be in a war footing all the time, whatever the issue, whatever the country. you hear it when china, when a plane gets shot down over there. on iraq, on libya, on syria, on iran. and now in some vague way on ukraine. we actually need to do is speak out for our values, free electio...

Diplomatic compound in pakista. they were aware of the dangers of the world. they wanted american diplomats to be out there trying to sell america and not always being able to do it in a place with a heavy military presence. the president didnt want boots on the ground in libya. i think we lay out the philosophy that hillary clinton had and also having talked to jason chafitz, that thats going to be something that gets debated out. what is the nature of the american foreign policy, where do we g...

Things, on libya, the afghan search, on getting bin laden. we have a section in the book where director panetta has to talk to her and get her buy-in on the bin laden raid because he knew that she would back the president. these are things that she should point out should she run for the presidency. >> one of your early leaks about the book, not leaks but excerpts is it begins in the wake of the 2008 campaign for hillary. its called "hillarys hit list" so that friends could be rewarded and enemi...

War. we can only fight a war if we have been attacked, if we are about to be attacked, if we are asked to come to the aid of an ally, or if the u.n. asks us to enforce a law or rule that another country has agreed to. none of these situations apply to syria. john: and i go back to libya3 when the president on libya. he said, well, this is different from the hostilities and completed in the war powers act which -- this is not sustained fighting more active fire with hostile forces. i would think ...
