Occasion of his firing in terms that surprised even me. "bolton was picked because mr. trump had enjoyed watching him on television. the result was to compound the chaos which has characterized this administrations foreign policy. the national security advisers principal responsibility is to oversee a disciplined policy-making process that includes the state department, the pentagon, and intelligence agencies, and to tee up big decisions for the president. mr. bolton did not do that. instead, he...

A process that the u.s. was trying to midwife. the u.s. was trying to work with russia and ukraine to try to get some kind of peace going. and when you talk about the republicans, what are they going to say in id like to think that theyll be angry and theyll say that the u.s. cant do this to ukraine. we should be supporting the ukrainian military. but when you see so many of the other things that the president has done and the republicans have failed to step up, the impunity with which the presi...

Taliban to try to make peace with them at camp david, again, with no foresight, no planning, no tragic guidance from anyone else. because, of course, he didnt go through the process because there is no process inside the white house. >> well, youre exactly right, joe. i mean, i think president trump saw the deal shaping up, he wants a deal with the taliban because he wants to fulfill that campaign promise of getting out of afghanistan. so he actually if you remember last month in bedminster he m...

Most important diplomatic meetings that the united states could be facing right now. >> look, theres so many ways to go at this. one is it shows the presidents unlimited and totally misplaced confidence in summitry and the power of his own personality in these one-on-one settings. secondly, it reveals that there is no process in this administration. there is no serious policy-making process with the various departments come together, weigh intelligence. but most of all, this just represents a fu...

Is sincerely interested in ending -- in having peace here. and the one party that might want it, which is the afghan government, was essentially cut out of the process. but, peter, i had a question for you. i havent heard anybody talk about the intelligence community here. we have khalilzad and pompeo supposedly wanting a deal, bolton opposing a deal. but normally when an administration would think about a big diplomatic initiative, the intelligence community would weigh in and give the assessme...
