the problem is in general flynn's back groind or intellect, we need to take quick look at these tweets, though, and sort out what's going on in his head. >> would you like to hear from him directly? do you think this situation calls for general flynn to come forward, explain the tweets, why they were there, what he was thinking and what he thinks about those stories that he pushed around on twitter? >> absolutely. i would have expected he would have done it immediately. he would have said, look, my son got out of line. there was an issue here, we've resolved it. i was very surprised that vice president elect pence didn't do the same thing, and say we chagrined to find out a minor figure in our administration was retweeting this stuff. so i think general flynn ought to speak up and say, look, i've got a lot of background in national security. you can trust me and put to rest these concerns >> and if he doesn't do that,
integrity and judgment and experience, and that will be a sensible wall against any illegal or nonsense behavior. i feel the same way about general kelly going to homeland security. these are two solid people. so i wouldn't want to overstate it, by look, the national security adviser is at the center of the web of not only department of defense, but attorney general, state department, secretary of the treasury. all of them bring together policies to that. the problem is in general flynn's back groind or intellect, we need to take quick look at these tweets, though, and sort out what's going on in his head. >> would you like to hear from him directly? do you think this situation calls for general flynn to come forward, explain the tweets, why they were there, what he was thinking and what he thinks about those stories that he pushed around on twitter? >> absolutely.
the ground mean s thats that we will put boots on the groind for a long period of time and sustain soldiers, and operations on the ground in another country that we don't want to be in, and right now the obama administration doesn't want to do that, but when you take jsoc and do the force projection into the area of the world that is called nonpermissive and strike the and get out, and that is what that force is supposed to do, the united states should be proud that we have those type of forces and it does not show mission creep or other boots on the ground. >> all right. colonel james reece thank you so much, and let's talk more about the group that carried it out the u.s. men and women in the army's delta force. they are the elite county terrorism expert, and they were involved in the capture of saddam hussein, and they were also involved in the capture of hostage ebbo bergdahl and also
ground, let's note, hasn't stopped since the tragedy. reporters are on the groind trying to find out about the crash and in fact are hearing the sounds of fighting continuing to go on. >> let me respond, if i might to susan. first of all, i think we need an independent investigation, international investigation. i think it's also very important to remember that the united states needs russia to deal with many of the international issues from proliferation, to exiting afghanistan, a whole slew of issues. but what has been under reported, alex, is that for the last few months the president of ukraine has waged quote an anti-terrorist operation against his own people in southeastern ukraine, his own citizens. no question that you have pro-russian separatists. in some cases, it seems putin lost control. but there have been atrocities
the first thing he emphasized, even though he dinged the president there, was the area of overlap that they have. and i think that is something that the white house is taking as a very positive sign, and i think it's something they should take as a positive sign. you're hearing from lindsey graham, you're hearing from john mccain, they want something done. yes, they still have concerns. they want to make sure the rebels are given more resources so perhaps they ultimately can weaken the assad regime a little bit. there's other members of congress with other concerns, they don't want boots on the groind, they want to make sure this is time limited. but i do think this is tentative support from two key hawks, from two of the most prominent hawks in congress, and i think it's key to president obama he tries to find a sweet spot in a resolution that may be able to pass congress. it's still, and we should emphasize this, carol, and i know it's a point you're making, it is so fair, it's still a very heavy lift and that's why you see all this outreach. >> i know you're going to stay there and watch for the arrivals
