the second, every time something like this happens, we doon internal look at ourselves and find out what is it that we did? what could we do better? and then make changes based on what i would consider an after-action review. so that's fair. >> the other issue there are some in african command and some here in the pentagon that think the special forces are taking too many risks over there. >> yeah, tom, i think that would be speculation. here's what i'm very clear on. i'm very clear on the frahmwork within which this operation took place. what do their orders say? i don't have any indication right now to believe or to know that they did anything other than operate within the orders that they were given. that's what the investigation is all about. so i think anyone that speculates about what special operation forces did or didn't do is doing exactly that. they are speculating. >> in general, special operators in africa, are maybe taking too many risks. that's the sense of some in this building and also in africom.
