Capable aircraft an its realtime. so its a crew of three but on the ground, totally unmanlned. so this is a team that does this as a matter of routine and its an immense capability. when i was inform conflict zones, this was a capability that i would lean on routinely. it would give you a stand-off capability. now, clearly that gives you a technical response to what youre seeing. its always nice to have some type of a human intelligence as well to complement this. but in this case you had techni...

The president of the united states has expended his political capital. the issue is whether house republicans are willing to spend any of theirs. this is a group of people who have said that theyre willing to shut down the government unless the affordable care act is defunded. this is a group of people that couldnt even pass a bill to provide assistance to families like my constituents who got hurt in hurricane sandy. so its not that the president doesnt have any more political capital to spend,...

Discussion is the use of long-range bombers. be flown directly from the united states. but the official that i spoke with said, look, it doesnt change the overall parameters of the mission. he said wed still be looking at whats called a standoff capability. in other words, when you think of american pilots, he said, dont think of them buzzing over syrian air space. these bombers still likely kept out of syrian air space and using these long-range missiles to strike from a distance out of the ran...

Bomber. can fly about 6,000 miles without refueling. 10,000 plus miles with one refueling mid-air. thats equipped with a joint air-to-surface standoff missile. in other words, these aircraft wouldnt have to come into syrian air space. and the official that i spoke with said you could get that standoff capability from a submarine, ship or an aircraft. none of it would have to enter syrian air space. it could be out of the range of the syrian air defenses and allow the capability to strike inside ...

In libya? >> perhaps all of that. first youll have the launch of perhaps cruz missiles which would pin -- with pinpoint accuracy would be able to determine exact, hit exact locations on the ground. fa-18s launched from aircraft carriers have standoff capability with missiles that can strike the ground from a distance perhaps as far as 25 miles. and then once a no fly zone is established, f-15s, ground launch from places like abileno, italy and similar locations will be used to ensure there is no...
