Morale is actionable. People come up to me all the time, did that happen here . People care. When i heard some of the test and i heard from the phoenix va, it was gut wrenching. I couldnt sleep. And i believe a lot of people within the system that feel the same way. But there exists a cancer within leadership, a few individuals that perpetuate this idea that we should be silent, that we shouldnt stand up and tell, do the right thing and be honest. Everyone makes mistakes, but when you make a mistake and you try to conceal it, that is really the question we should be asking. Who are these individuals who would alter data and hide the truth and present patient care . Thats a brief portion of our special looking into Veterans Health care issue.

Heres what she said on thisd ie interview with Jeffrey Goldberg is going to help build a credible fighting force to the people who were the originators of the protests against assad were islam is. They were secular, everything in the middle. The failure to do that left a big vacuum which the jihadists have not filtered thats what the former secretary of state had to say on city. On president obamas approach to getting involved in countries where you are seeing conflict, the former secretary of state said that great nations need organizing principles, and dont do stupid stuff, is not an organizing principle. On the issue has become president obama sat down for an interview with New York Times columnist Thomas Frieden, and here is what he had to say about syria and arming the rebels. Rebels. With respect to see its always been a fantasy this idea that we could provide some light orange or even more sophisticated arms to what was essentially an opposition made up of former doctors, farmers, pharmacists and so forth, if youre going to be up to battle not only a well armed state but also a well armed state backed by russia, backed by iran, a battle hardened hezbollah.

Hes obviously much, much more multilateral than republicans but theres a certain muscular tone from a certain assumption that they will be hostile ideologies that threaten america. Theres also a grand strategic cast to her my previous has to come up with an overarching strategy, she told goldberg, to contain a tear and defeat antidemocratic those. Harsh action is sometimes necessary. This is a quote, i think israel did wouldve had to do to respond to the rockets, embracing recent israeli policy. Theres no doubt in my mind that hamas initiative this conflict. The ultimate response was to rest on hamas. This town stands intend with the approach president obama articulated in his west point speech in the spring, or in his interview with Thomas Frieden on monday. Obamas carefully not organize a large part of his Foreign Policy around a war against jihadism.

Clinton charting a tricky course airing policies. Jan hooks in a rights in her piece said that it was an impressive broad visionwing a of World Affairs that would make her a strong candidate if she could sustain the point of view through a democratic primary 02 7370001 host larry in boston, a democrat. Larry, what you make of the former sec of state criticism . Caller i think Hillary Clinton is being kind of depletions. I think shes running for president even though she hasnt announced an issue going into the hands of the hawks. President obama was right in hesitating to arm these people because just like in afghanistan, these weapons wind up in the hands of our enemies, of isis. Thats why, you cant say that were going to arm these people, as he said, these people have no experience in battle and they wouldve been overrun. Host larry, this type of criticism that we are hearing from the former secretary of state, a democrat. Is that appealing to you if you decide to run in 2016 . Caller actually im a fan of Elizabeth Warren and i wish she would run. I think Hillary Clinton takes to me positions, and right now she is opposing the president primarily because she wants to distance herself from him and his policies in order to appeal to a wider base. Host so that will give her trouble you think in the democratic primary . Caller im afraid it might be. I think, you know, i think it will open the door for a republican presidency. It could ultimately do that. Host all right. John, independent in new hampshire. What do you think . Caller yes. I kind of pretty much on the side of your previous caller. Just host john, you got to listen to me through your phone. Turn your tv down. Caller i apologize. Basically, hillary stood by barack, or the president , during the initial engagement with syria in reference to what congress is going to basically put on congress table, either vote intervention or not. She did not make any comments back in. I just think its more or less of a political expedient on her part. Thats all i have to say. Host john, as an independent, what type of candidates do you want to see, and what sort of viewpoint do you want and have on Foreign Policy . Caller just a realistic one. Weve been in war for pretty much i mean for well over a decade. I know i am warweary. My son is in the service. Hes been there six years and has done for tours. Its just enough is enough. We are complaining about our budgets and the money, and understand the humanitarian needs, and i support that, but the infighting when it comes to Hillary Clinton making those comments, you know, she couldve voiced her opinion and comments back then windows proposed to congress to take action or not. Host john, is there a republican, potential contender, thats talked about that you think is realistic in your mind, as you say, on Foreign Policy . Caller the closest one i would think, republicans would mayor my opinion believe it or not is rand paul. Host so if it was rand paul, lets say versus what clinton in a general election, you would vote rand paul . Caller yes. Host digital for president obama . Caller i did in 2000 but not 2012. Host next to her but in Crystal River florida, republican caller. Go ahead. Listen to me. Youre on the air. Go ahead. Caller yes. I just wanted to remind the people and jimmy . Host we can. We can. Caller i wanted to remind the people that she was sick as they went for americas got killed in benghazi and she was standing before the committee she holds her hands up in the air and said, what does it matter . So anyway, thank you for taking my call. Host do you think she is a problem because she was the second estate . Caller absolutely. Host bill, what do you think . Caller yes. Im reading hillarys book, hard choices. Im not quite finished with it yet. I think that her interview is consistent with what shes writing in her book. I remember hillary was in favor of the war in iraq and initially, too. And she is ar very interested ad concerned about World Affairs at about the United States being a part of World Affairs, doesnt want to withdraw from World Affairs. But i may barack obama fan also. It isnt as though i think thinu what is right and barack obama is wrong. President obama is doing a great job i think, and i just think hillary has a different perspective on our engagement in the activities of other countries, and so, good for hillary, and if she runs i vote for her. My concern about hillary running is her health. I just hope she can withstand the constant obstructionist republicans, and its going to be very interesting to me if hillary runs whether the Republican Party and the tea party will continue with their obstructionist attitude towards hillary as they have with president obama. Host okay. That was built in mobile, alabama, Democratic Party. From Jeffrey Goldbergs interview with Hillary Clinton indialantic, published on sunday, and he quotes her saying this host philip, kirkwood overcome independent color. Go ahead. Caller yes, good morning to you. Host good morning. Caller the reason im calling is Hillary Clinton has always known that obama has been an inapt president and theres been a cold war hwnd her husband and the administration. Her and her husband and the administration. They know he is in that, he was basically elected on the premise of giving us out of everything and apologizing to the world for supposedly what the United States has done, which actually the United States has been helping a lot of countries all over the world. But we have always been, our 30 and the policy of the United States has always been peace through power. And now that we are weak and the president went the other way on this, now that we are weak, the whole world is taking advantage of the weakness of this president. From putin to the arabs to the middle east, to everybody. They know he is a weak president. He doesnt know what hes doing. If he walked into the room he would probably he does not know what hes doing in this country. House of representatives let me ask you then, in a general election, youre an independent, if Hillary Clinton survives the democratic primary, if she runs, survives the democratic primary, in the general election do you vote for over a republican . Is what she said attractive to you . Caller at this particular time i would have to go with a republican. In fact, i would hope that romney would render everything you said has come true. Everything. I would probably run for a man who put this country back on track, business, industry can get the military backed begin to i would probably have to go that route because hillary we just finished destroying what we have. I dont think she postacute say i would do with a man. Is a because shes a woman . Caller no, no, no. I would love to see a woman president but i dont think hillary is the one aspect that davies had this one on its headline. Lawmakers criticism of his syria policy is ho rseshit. Host it goes on to say house of representativethis wasl of this come before this india that Hillary Clinton with the atlantic and it was before president obama did his interview on friday with Thomas Frieden. So that on a daily beast website. By the way, on his replacement, heres a headline from reuters this morning out of australia. U. S. To consider more support for iraq wants this new government is for. Is a come from the secretary of state john kerry who is in austin with the defense sector. His comments follow his data from president obama that a rocket taking a promising step forward and designating a new Prime Minister. Were prepared to consider additional Political Economic and security options at the rack skim it starts to build a new government. You dont News Conference, together with such a defense chuck hagel and their australian counterparts are forgetting her thoughts on Hillary Clintons criticism of president obamas approach to Foreign Policy. Margaret, what do you think . Caller about Hillary Clinton . What about a friend with the book and said dont publish it and tell i die, and said that she was ruthless . And talk to sean smiths mother, pat smith. Asked her what she thinks. How many chances would you give somebody who already killed one of your children and left them . They had been begging, begging for months and she totally ignored them. Who would even consider that some of our news media pasha im not talking the cspan at other than fox, you listen to nothing but msnbc you wont know whats going on in the world at all. They push, th they elect the pee that weve got now. Thats what theyve given us, and if you want to know who i think him and i dont care, i personally lean to having a mentor to remember how they mocked reagan, the governor of california . A lot of people dont know that ministers went to visit him in the statehouse and the one minister to him prophetically said, the lord said if you do so and so, ill put you in 1600 pennsylvania avenue. The judge on foxs on saturday and sunday night after huckaby answer the time, on at eight, she has been a prosecutor for many years, a judge for many years. She has no fear. She speaks to obama and the pope the way we speak to them if we were speaking honestly. Ive never seen a better candidate for president in my life host the all right. Louisiana, janice can a democrat. What you make of the former secretary of states criticism . Caller well, i wish he hadnt criticize president obama. There seems to be some confusion between isis and isil, and our support [inaudible] sunnis in syria, then we support an iraq, we support the shiites which was also paradoxically iranians. So it seems to me a great deal of confusion there. I would like to know the difference between isis and isil. Never been explained. Host our connection with you is bad, but maybe we can clear up a little bit of this right now. Colleen mccain nelson, White House Correspondent with the wall street journal joining us on the phone to talk about the iraqi president naming a new Prime Minister. So Colleen Mccain nelson, who is this new Prime Minister . Guest he is a nine and he is interestingly a member of the state party as maliki, but he is viewed as less sectarian. He has spent many years in exile in britain so is a little bit more of an international view. The hope is that he will be more conciliatory, but hes also a little bit untested. Its not completely clear how we might proceed as a leader. He certainly has ever difficult task ahead in forming a cabinet i completed the process of forming a new government. So its not completely clear how we will proceed as the leader, but u. S. Officials have said on numerous occasions that among several choices they viewed any of them as better than maliki. So what was the reaction from the current sitting Prime Minister, Nouri Almaliki . Guest its been an extraordinary turn of events in the last couple of days, starting sunday evening commute id maliki going on television and he claimed that he was the nominee for Prime Minister and that he planned to retain power, and the next day the president of iraq, came out and designated Haider Alabadi as the next Prime Minister and after that happened malik he went back on television and get another defiant speech and dissent it happened has no value at all. We will correct this mistake. Hes been very defined. Hes threatened legal action against threatened to use special forces to defend his claim on being Prime Minister. And so at this point its setting up a political showdown with two different people claiming that theyre going to be the next Prime Minister of iraq. Host and why is it that this threat of force from maliki poses a real challenge for the United States . Guest well, certainly thats kind of a wild card is not clear what exactly he might do, is going to be a coup, is he going to use the military to hang onto power . Obviously this comes against the backdrop of Islamic State militants continued to advance in the north. This just kind of add to the chaos and uncertainty in the country. And their sword a lot of people urgi
