diplomacy but it seems the country has deteriorated in a way that diplomacy may not be the -- may not be what we can do right now. may not be feasible. quickly before we go to break here i want to talk to you. you wrote an op-ed in even and it said why we should exit iraq now. do you stand by that? some people are wondering if that was the wrong thing for us, withdrawing. was this a mistake? >> no, absolutely. i think it was a mistake to go in there. but i don't think you amplify that mistake by making mistakes now and i don't think we're making mistakes now. i would not proceed with military air strikes until we find some diplomacy that enables or forces maliki to end the sectarian violence. to unify the country, to share power. otherwise iraq is going to disintegrate. >> okay, governor, everyone hold that thought. we'll be back on the other side of this break.
