For the department of defense. does it raise questions for you about how the president views the military, the fact that he hasn t been to a combat zone, the fact that he doesn t go to arlington on veterans day and the fact that within the last 48 hours that he chose to go after admiral william mcraven who was in charge of special operations during the raid on the bin laden compound when you were the director of national intelligence. well, to me it causes me to question just the extent of the president s sincerity about his purported support for the military. i thought his failure to go to arlington cemetery and his lame excuse that he had phone calls to make, he would have been better served not to have said why he didn t go. if you re going to be called by the president of the united states they will take a call at any time of the day and i don t know why he couldn t spare a couple hours to make the trip to ....

What that then-president said. watch this. for the first time in two decades, osama bin laden is not a threat to this country. slowly and systematically, we have been able to decimate the ranks of al qaeda. al qaeda is on the path to defeat and osama bin laden is dead. martha: gm is alive and osama bin laden is dead. remember all that? michael waltz, from a terrorism advisor to cheney. also a fox news contributor. good to see you tonight. thanks, martha. martha: your mind goes back to the political moment then. that was very much the narrative that the obama administration wanted everyone to believe, that al qaeda was on the run, bin laden was dead and it was over basically, there was nothing to fear out there. this new report from the new york times points out, among other things, but there were 470,000 files that were released by the trump administration that were from the bin laden compound. ....
Did u.s. intelligence agencies play with the pakistanis in helping this recovery. the pakistanis are saying that u.s. intelligence that helped them track this family, because remember they were abducted in afghanistan, crossed the border into pakistan on october the 11th. if that is true, this release, this recovery happened remarkably quickly. remember with the raid on the bin laden compound, the pakistanis were not read in. so if there is more intelligence sharing, that will have benefits throughout the south asia region which is a big priority for secretary mattis and secretary tillerson. it s also interesting when you talk about the president s overtures toward pakistan. last night he made an interesting comment. i ll play it and then we ll get into it. listen. something happened today where a country that totally disrespected us called with some very, very important news. and one of my generals came in, ....
