yemen or even libya, but then moving forward, how are voters to digest this information? what's the information theyed need to hear from candidates? >> yeah. this is a very important issue. and first of all, i want to say that i don't agree completely with tony that secretary clinton can be blamed for the removal of cagadhafi in libya. i think there were many, many factors that contributed to that. what i'd like to say is early on in the iraq war, yes, the military was given a mission, and truthfully, fred rhee kashgs i was part of that as war planner on the joint staff in the j-7, to rid iraq of a dictator. regime change is not a military mission. that's very difficult to execute with military forces. that is a political implication that politicians have to determine through diplomacy how they view do that and what they do. the military certainly can contribute to that and it has in several countries. we have to be very careful in say, hey, we just have to rid ourselves of a dictator.
