Assad? what we do once we take out this guy in north korea? what is the transition process? people dont like the nationbuilding thing, they dont want to be over there, draining our resources trying to get these countries in order, but you also cant leave them. we learn that in iraq. >> julie: we know diplomatic efforts are useless. we know easing sections are useless. we know taking it away is useless. this is why we are where we are. all these efforts have failed. >> dagen: that bomb targeted t...

Saying we need to create a better political climate in which the people of syria can choose that. i come back to this point as the president who is gassing and killing his own people, how will there ever be that kind of climate created? >> a transition process through which there comes a new leadership in syria. it cannot be a process that has as its objective or as a result a continuation of assad in power. the united states cannot simply lend itself to that. it is so contrary to our values and...

Weeks for president trump. its fascinating compared to your peach whiiece which lays o things went off the rails quickly. a lot seemed to be about donald trumps management style. >> i think thats right. the interesting thing is that there was a transition process that was operating. according to outsiders, pretty effectively until the week of the election. the curiosity is that donald trump i think for --s put it, bad karma reasons did not want to engage at all with the transition team prior to ...
