Not appear hes listening to them in terms of how to manage the aftermath. >> at the same time his speech and answers were inspiring to many, tens of millions of americans who want to hear their president talk in visceral terms about the life and death consequences. >> sure. but you can do that, and paint a picture of how damaging bagdadi was from a security perspective, without going into the level of operational detail that president trump did in terms of what actually happened on the ground, t...

Head of the taliban in 2016 and theyre alive more than ever. in 2016 they killed the leader of al qaeda in iraq. that doesnt do anything to improve the situation in iraq. it did everything to raise up al-baghdadi. we may be seeing a resurgence of the islamic tastate. theyve been restaging more terrorist attacks. now the way we managed to defeat the caliphate was through the u.s./kurdish alliance and thats dead because president trump has very foolishly pulled u.s. troops out of most of syria and...

Opposed to the reception donald trump would get came six weeks after the 2001 terrorist attacks. george w. bush in a world series game between the yankees and the diamondbacks strode to the mound and delivered a strike to applause from the crowd. it wound up being a symbol of toughness, a symbol of fortitude, a symbol that we have unbowed and unbroken and it was one of the most memorable moments of george w. bushs eight years in office. donald trump unlikely to have a moment like that takes a pa...
