that effort but, frankly, i don't trust them in this effort at this time, and i certainly don't trust iran to be part of that effort as well. we've got to focus on our allies and the countries that work with us to try to achieve the mission that we need to go after. >> and very quickly secretary panetta, would you somehow prioritize isis over assad at this point or do they have to be pursued simultaneously? >> i think we've got to go after both of them. i don't think we can suddenly say assad -- you know, we shouldn't pay attention to him because assad is an international criminal and we should not be part of an effort to allow assad to stay in place. but our priority here, our main focus now, ought to be in going after isis and making sure we defeat them. they're the clear and present danger. they're the ones we have to defeat if we're going to be successful at protecting the american people. >> secretary panetta, former director of the cia, always good to hear your wisdom on this, thanks for joining me this morning.
