have these kind of consequences, i don't think you would say that in that way. me being an optimist and wanting to support the country, i don't think he meant to telegraph what he wanted to do. potentially, it was something that we will use force to hopefully get to some sort of a negotiating table, figure out a way to handle the assad situation, but there are definitely better ways to do it than with a tweet like that. he doesn't need to say we'll use for. we've proven we'd use force. i did think the tweet was unnecessary and i disagreed with it. >> when you talk about telegraphing, obviously, the president has criticized others for doing that. president obama in 2013, trump criticized him, twitter, again. "who are our generals that are allowing this fiasco to happen right before our eyes? call it the plenty of note of war." then he said, "in war, the element of surprise is so important. what the health is obama doing?" and here's something he said on cnn. >> in the old days, we had generals like patton and robert e. lee and some great ones,
