Lawmakers standing and shouting death to america. Iran announced it will abandon another key commitment under its International Nuclear deal, meantime neighboring iraq, Parliament Members there holding a vote today, urging the government to end u. S. Troop presence in the country in the wake of soleimanis killing. U. S. Secretary of state delivering a message to people who are not convinced that soleimani posed an urgent and imminent danger. Mike pompeo saying it was the right move. Theres no need to guess about what soleimani would have been up to the day after, the day after, the day after. This was a bad guy. We took the right action. President trump will never shy away from that. Fred pleitgen, you actually sat down with a military adviser to the supreme leader. Tell our viewers what he said. He is part of the processes that go on here with the leadership in tehran. He told me three key things. First of all, there will be a response by the iranians, a military response against military targets. Importantly, wolf, he also said that the iranians do not want a fullfledge war against the United States. Here is what he said. Translator the response, for sure, will be military and against military sites. Let me tell you one thing, our leadership has officially announced weve never been seeking war and we will not be seeking war. It is america that started the war. Therefore, they should accept appropriate reactions to their actions. The only thing that can end this period of war is for the americans to receive a blow that is equal to the blow theyve inflicted. Afterwards, they should not seek a new cycle. The iranians basically saying they will strike back but want it to end there. Soleimani was a towering figure of the revolutionary guard. He has already been replaced and iranians say they will not miss a beat. Theyre just as capable of foreign operations as they were before. I also asked this adviser whether or not the iranians, under any circumstances, would be willing to enter into negotiations with the Trump Administration, something that President Trump has been floating. He said at this point in time, of course, absolutely not. The iranians extremely angry, saying there will be retaliation, wolf. As you know, fred, President Trump threatened to hit cultural sites in iran if the iranians were to retaliate. Two u. S. Officials currently serving that there is deep opposition within the Trump Administration to that idea. What is the reaction to President Trumps threat in tehran . Reporter well, theres been extreme anger here in tehran,b that, not just from Political Leadership but regular iranians as well, who have been taking to social media and posting sites saying they should not be bombed because iran is a nation very rich in history and has a history that goes back thousands of years and its a source of pride to all iranians, whether they support the government clergy or dont do that. The Senior Adviser to the supreme leader, i asked him about the 52 targets that the president was talking about and the cultural sites apparently part of that as well. He called that notion ludicrous, saying targeting cultural sites would amount to war crimes. He also said something that is key. If the president is talking about 52 sites he could target, then well target 300 american sites. Wolf . Fred pleitgen in tehran, thank you. Well get back to you. The Iraqi Parliament voted to end u. S. Troop presence in that country after the killing of general soleimani on their soil. Arwa damen is on the ground for us in baghdad. Shes joining us live. Arwa, what are the implications on this vote . Reporter potentially, very serious, wolf. The case to take this was made by the caretaker. Sunnis and kurds were not attending this session but the caretaker said he believed this was in the interest of the u. S. And other foreign forces, because they said they would not be able to protect themselves and in the interest of iraq, stating Iraqi Security forces would not be able to protect foreign troops. This, it very much seems, was a calculus made based on todays reality is that significantly altered with that targeted killing, with iraq finding itself as the primary battlefield between washington and tehran. For the iraqis, this has perhaps the only way to quickly deescalate a situation that was rapidly growing out of control. But either way, whether the u. S. Troops leave or stay, that has an implications on this country. Both options cause bloodshed. If and when the u. S. And other Coalition Forces leave, this is a win for isis, a win that they didnt even have to do anything to get because of the role that the collision continues to play in the battle against isis. Last time the u. S. Withdrew from iraq, that created the security vacuum that eventually allowed for isis to emerge. Had the u. S. And iran continued to front each other, that also would have had a devastating effect on the population. The u. S. Led coalition to fight isis in iraq has paused its training in the aftermath of the killing of soleimani. Whats behind that decision . Reporter not just its training, wolf. Its paused its antiisis given the fact that irans proxies in iraq are very capable of targeting the United States, as they have in the past. More recently, it was the various different militant groups targeting military installations. Lt take a look at who these groups rrks wolf. The shia groups were targeting the United States throughout the course of the americanled occupation here. The threat posed by them is very real. All right. Arwa, thank you very much. Well get back to you as well. Joining us now, former secretary of defense under president clinton, william cohn. Thank you so much for coming in. Good to be with you. You heard secretary of state mike pompeo say americans are safer today than they were a few days ago. But the president telling all americans to get out of iraq. Are americans safer today . In the short term, no. The alert has been raised in this country salute many military capitals as well. The threat of retaliation is higher than it was before the attack. I would like to go back to the parliament story. Iraqi parliament. We want you to get out. Its a nonbinding resolution. They dont have an existing government yet. The Prime Minister has resigned. They should take caution on that. If we leave, isis makes a comeback, al qaeda. And without the u. S. There, theyll have much greater level of threat and much greater violence. If the u. S. Pulls out its 5,000 troops and there are u. S. Contractors and diplomats be that would be a huge win for neighboring iran. Huge win for iran and russia. Two things to look out for. There could be false flag operations. There may be attacks by isis against the iraqis, the americans and blame it on the iranians, saying they were at fault. You have to be careful at that all. Second thing to look at is what is the role of russia going to be . Russia is a supporter of iranians. The leveling of their cultural areas and symbols and history, et cetera. They like the notion perhaps the United States is now bogged down in iraq, this they may get involved in the conflict there. That would be in their interests. If they were to leave, that would be in their interest as well. The air anians will come back with a calibrated attack on americans, not too big, not too small. Enough to say this is proportionate, but not enough to stimulate a reaction by President Trump. Then come the russians to say let us help. We know the iranians. We can be helpful as we were in seara. We pulled out of syria. Theyve moved in. I suspect this will be a real opportunity for them to say we can mediate this. We dont want to help him. After 24, 48 hours of war, if iran does retaliate, the u. S. Would immediately target 52 iranian sites, representing the hostages taken many years ago. Two things. His pal, putin, hasnt called him yet. When vladimir calls, you can be sure he takes the call. If we have 52 targets to hit that, means weve been planning to hit these targets for some time now. So iran is saying why do you say youre in danger when youve been plotting 52 targets for us . I would take the twitter account away from the president and say lets get back to doing diplomacy the good oldfashioned way, having experts sit down to figure out a way out of this. Once that is over, we have to have the diplomats come in. I think it will come from other countries, probably russia. A conversation with elizabeth warren, listen to this. Next week the president of the United States could be facing an impeachment trial in the senate. We know hes deeply upset about that. And i thiching people are reasonably asking, why this moment . Why does he pick now to take this highly inflammatory action that brings us closer to war. Are you suggesting that President Trump pulled the trigger and had soleimani killed as a distraction to his impeachment . I think people are reasonably asking about the timing. What do you think . I was curious about the New York Times article that suggested that the chairman of the joint chiefs placed this option on the table as a last resort and putting a much higher risk of danger and reaction. The question is, why would they put that in there if they knew this would generate the most reaction, negative reaction out of the iranians . I assume they did so after laying out what the consequences would be. From personal experience, i was involved in recommending, making the decision to bomb and went after saddam hussein. I didnt know about what they were planning. I didnt know about any dates that the house of representatives were planning. I had been called by speaker gingrich, saying the top is blowing off of the capital. I said what do you want me to do . They said come up here and explain why youve done what youve done. I went up with the director and ken bacon, my Public Affairs spokesman at the pentagon. I spent three hours in the well of the house of representatives outlining exactly what we did and why we did it. If the secretary of defense argue this or laid it before the president with the notion it would be used for political purposes, they ought to resign today. I dont believe that for a moment. I dont think any one of them would make that recommendation. If they found themselves doing it or that the president would use it for political purpose, they would walk out and they should walk out. This is video of the casket carrying the body of qassim soleimani, killed in a u. S. Drone strike outside the Baghdad International airport. The crowds are huge in iran right now. And theyre shouting death to america. What would be our reaction in the air yans had targeted the secretary of defense, joint chiefs or the president of the United States . There would be many thousands of people in the streets saying death to iran. You kill so many people with that stature, youre bound to see this kind of reaction. This is one of the things that i hope the secretary of defense, the agencies are saying this is likely to be the reaction. An outpouring of rage and likely to be retaliation against us. Are you sure you want to take this action or is there something lower on the scale that would send a message without provoking a response that could endanger many americans. Secretary cohn, thank you very much for coming in and giving us your perspective. Were going to take a quick break. Thats the casket carrying the body of general qassim soleimani, who was killed outside the Baghdad International airport. Well be right back. In a world where everything gets a sequel. Its finally time for. Geico sequels classic geico heroes, starring in six new commercials, with jawdropping savings. Vote for your favorites at geico. Com sequels ahhh, which way do i go . i dont know, im voting for our sequels. With geico, the savings keep on going to a screen near you. Not the leg you dang woodchucks geico sequels. Vote and enter to win today welcome back to our special coverage. I want to go back to tehran right now. Fred pleitgen is on the ground for us. Watching dramatic movement, the casket carrying the body of qassim soleimani. The body has just returned to tehran. Fred, lets talk about the images were seeing. Reporter yeah, wolf. Obviously, very powerful images were seeing. Thousands of people who are coming to greet that casket as it arrives here in tehran. It really is, i would say, one of the culmination points of what weve seen ever since the Morning Hours of saturday. Essentially whats been going on is that the body of qassim soleimanni arrived where you already saw large crowds turning up. A holy city in shia islam, the reason the body is only arriving in tehran now, i have to look at my watch here. Its 1 50 in the morning tehran time. The body was supposed to get here hours ago, to then be displayed public ly there in th main grand mosque here. But it wasnt they werent able to bring it here because so many people had already turned up in mashad. That goes to show what an important figure he was for so many iranians. The iranian leadership, of course, is so capable of drumming up crowds to protest similar things. The amount of people weve seen in the streets, amount of mourners certainly goes beyond anything that the iranian government would be able to drum up. Certainly theres a lot of very real outpouring of grief and, of course, support and respect for qassim soleimani. Its a dangerous situation. Well get back to you. Right now more than 3,000 u. S. Service members there on their way to the middle east, not knowing when theyll return home as critics of the president questioning the timing of this strike continue to speak out. Also, theres more breaking news. Three americans killed in a terrorist attack that targeted a military base in kenya. The victims, a u. S. Service member, two u. S. Civil contractors. Al shabaab now claiming responsibility. 12. 99 all you can eat now with boneless wings. Only at applebees. What are you doing back there, junior . Since were obviously lost, im rescheduling my Xfinity Customer Service appointment. Ah, relax. I got this. Which gps are you using anyway . A Little Something called instinct. Been using it for years. Yeah, thats what im afraid of. He knows exactly where were going. My whole body is a compass. Oh boy. The my account app makes todays Xfinity Customer Service simple, easy, awesome. Not my thing. Take a look at this. Thousands of u. S. Troops deploying for ft. Bragg, north carolina, last night, are headed to the middle east. The military says the deployment is part of precautionary action being taken to respond to increase threat levels against u. S. Military and civilian personnel following the u. S. Killing of a top iranian general Qasem Soleimani the top iranian official is now telling cnn its response will be against u. S. Military sites. At the same time, President Trump appears to be using twitter as formal notification of potential military action. He tweets this, and im quoting now, these media posts will serve as notification to the United States congress that should iran strike any u. S. Person or target, the United States will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Close quote. Joining us now, cnn political analyst and congress youngal editor for the times, julie davis and retired u. S. Army Major General spider marks. General marks, it may not be a disproportionate response in the iranians were to retaliate. Thats troubling in my mind. You never want to take options off the table. You want to leave enough confusion out there if you intend to take action. Lay it out there. Say we have options and deserve the right to take options necessary to accomplish the task. Here is what we think is available to us. To say its disproportionate simply ratchets up the rhetoric, which is never helpful in this situation. You want everybody to breathe through their nose, take a step back and say we reserve the right to do what we think is right. And in many cases it will be proportionate but well make that decision. You are hearing the reaction to the decision by the Iraqi Parliament to say, you know what . U. S. Troops, 5,000 u. S. Troops still in iraq right now, thousands of u. S. Military contractors and diplomats in the socalled green zone around the u. S. Embassy, basically parliament is suggesting that the u. S. Military personnel should get out. That was the Iraqi Parliamently vote today. And the state department spokesperson, morgan ortegas, said that the u. S. Was disappointed by that decision and that theyre urging the iraqi leadership to reconsider that. To really look at theis iraq relationship when it comes to economics and security. The question here is, what did the Trump Administration expect was going to happen, right . This is something that the iraqis could have chosen to do. They are not supportist of the Trump Administration coming in and killing an iranian on their soil without them having known. This is a potential reaction that the iraqis could have had. Did the u. S. Plan for it and what did the u. S. Really plan for iraq to do . That u. S. Drone strike outside Baghdad International airport also killed an Iraqi Militia leader. Thats right. And that was an iraqi citizen. Therefore, they are violating iraqi sovereignty in doing that, given we have such a strong within the nound with iraq military leadership. Jiel if, the thousands of u. S. Troops are forced out of iraq, the fear is that this could lead to a resurgence of isis in iraq. What kind of reaction youre hearing from republicans in congress to this possibility. So far, we havent heard a whole lot of reaction to this possibility. What were hearing is a lot of strong support for what the president did. In the past theres been criticism of the president when he has taken aggressive actions. Some republicans in congress feel he goes too far. I dont know if its the seriousness of soleimanis role or in an impeachment if this does lead to a resurgence of isis, a pullback on the part of u. S. Military as a reaction to whats happened here, there will be questions raised by republicans and well hear that there will be a response. Is it realistic, general, that the u. S. Will be forced by the Iraqi Government . This is the big issue, in my mind. Of course, we have to discuss iran. This is about our relationship with iraq. If iraq wants to be a sovereign, it needs to act like a sovereign. Soleimani has complete transit authority, shows up whenever he wants, exercises command and control inside of iraq. Thats not the actions of a sovereign. Baghdad has a choice to make right now. This could be an opportunity for the United States and iraq to get their act together in a way that allows baghdad to make a choice that says, look, you cant align yourself with tehran, you cant have militias running around, wantonally doing what you think they should be doing and then give us a hard time against someone who is a recognized terrorist and we strike their leader. Thats kind of our relationship with baghdad. Thats our understanding of our relationship. And for them to criticize that action is inappropriate this time. Completely. You want to be a sovereign, act like a sovereign. A lot of officials are deeply concerned if the u. S. Were to pull out iraq and the u. S. Went to war in 2003 to get rid of saddam hussein, iraq could emerge as a city for iran. And theres a lot of talk about isis coming back into iraq as iran is kind of opening that capability for them to do so. Therefore, if the u. S. Leaves iraq, it is opening up this possibility to reemerge. A president who was a private citizen in 2011, speaking about president obama and his bid for reelection. Listen to this. Our president will start a war with iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. I believe that he will attack iran some time prior to the election, because he thinks thats the only way he can get elected. Isnt it pathetic . A lot of democrats right now are suggesting maybe the president wants to change the subject from impeachment. Thats why he has escalated this crisis. Absolutely. Weve been hearing that accusation coming from particularly in the progressive wing of the party. Some of the candidates were running to challenge him in the 2020 election. The timing, obviously, is incredibly volatile. He is an impeached president that were about to be in the middle of, we think, an impeachment trial. The fact that its happening now does seem suspect. But there is talk that this president has not been aggressive enough when it comes to iran. Its possible he took this action in part to dispel that image as well and it plays politically into his brand. And he wants to show voters in advance of his election that hes tough and strong and all those things he professed to be. No question the timing of this has huge implications. If it wasnt the driver behind taking the action, it certainly will fuel the response domestically. Bracing for iranian retaliation, wondering what the u. S. Will do in response to that. Kylie, julie, Major General marks, thank you for joining us. A new grave warning at a rally today, saying the u. S. Military would, quote, pay the price for the killing of iraqs general. What that could mean. People were afraid i was contagious. I felt gross. It was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. Four years clear. Real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. Dont use if youre allergic to cosentyx. Before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if youve had a vaccine or plan to. Serious allergic reactions may occur. Ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. A dire new warning to the United States a day after the killing of a top iranian figure. This comes outside tehran, in beirut, lebanon, during a massive rally, hezbollah leader vows revenge, calling it just right ricks, that u. S. Forces, in his words, quote, will pay the price for the drone strike at the Baghdad International airport. Joining us now is michael oren, former israeli ambassador to the United States, saved as member of the deputy minister in the Prime Ministers office. Mr. Ambassador, thank you so much for joining us. You strongly support President Trumps decision to order this strike. Tell us why. Good to be with you. Wolf, its not just me. Its across the board in israel, Prime Minister netanyahu, the leader of the opposition. Right and left, israelis support this opposition. Soleimani deserved to die, has blood of israelis on his hands, to say nothing of arabs and american troops. He was a terrorist and deserved to die. Also welcoming the return of the middle east. We welcome the reaffirmation of american strength. Thats very important for israelis. Whats interesting is we run the highest risk. When the iranians say theyre going to take revenge, they say theyre going to take revenge against israel. Were facing 150,000 rockets in the hands of iran and its terrorist proxies like hezbollah. Even with that, israelis support the operation. Should it have done so . Weve been operating on a regular basis against the proxies for nine years now. Iranian officers, including highranking officers, have been killed and israeli officials in the past said that soleimani was on the list of potential targets. I assure you, if we learned that he was planning, actively, a terrorist attack that would have taken a large number of israelis, soldiers or civilians, israel would take the same exact operation. You think had israel knew where he had been these past few years, it would have killed him . If they needed to, yes, distancing forces from our borders, from lebanon, from syria. Now we are witnessing the creation of an Iranian Military presence, including a missile capacity in iraq, which is capable of hitting israeli cities. Were going to operate wherever we have to, in order to distance that iranian threat from our borders. You read an article just now for cnn. Com saying no one in israel wants war but does this killing make war more or less likely . We see a situation where iran is trying to surround us strategically with tens of thousands of rockets and in a couple of years the sunset clause of the Iran Nuclear Deal will set in and iran will be able to enrich enough uranium to make hundreds of Nuclear Weapons. Were on a path to war, irrespective with iranians and we would rather do it now than five years from now when iran becomes stronger. For israel, iran is a serious military threat. We can defend ourselves. Wolf, israelis shake their heads why americans are so afraid of iran. From an israeli perspective, iran is a paper tiger. When is the last time you saw a picture of aan iranian tank or air force jet . Their military is from the 1970s. They cannot pose a serious military threat to the United States. To israel, yes, and we can defend ourselves. Iranians are using their proxies in lebanon, gaza, syria or elsewhere want to go after iz rileys, they could kill a lot of israelis right now . They could always kill a lot of israelis. Theyve been trying for years and years. Theres nothing new about that. The important thing from our perspecti perspective, again, is america is back, reasserting its deterrent power and that is a Strategic Asset for the state of isra israel. I know people in israel are intense right now and are worried about what might happen in the aftermath of this killing of soleimani. Lets see what happens. Everyone seems to be bracing for iranian retaliation, and that could lead to a very serious response. Thank you for joining us. Good evening. Byebye. New details emerging about three americans killed today in a terror attack in kenya. Al shabaab now claiming responsibility. Were goi ining there live, to nairobi, when we come back. Things are getting clearer, yeah i feel free to bare my skin yeah thats all me. Nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin thats my new plan. Nothing is everything. Keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way and its my moment so i just gotta say nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs, or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. Now to breaking news out of kenya. A terror attack has claimed the lives of three americans, one Service Member and two u. S. Military civilian contractors. It happened at an air strip near a military base. Al qaedalinked Terror Group Al Shabaab is claiming responsibility. Joining us from the kenyan city of nairobi, faira sevenzo. Reporter this happened shortly before sunrise near camp simba took place. This is a place where the United States special forces usually train their african partners like the Kenyan Defense forces. What we know is that since this morning, the u. S. African commander released a statement saying one american serviceman and two u. S. Civilian contractors have died in that attack, a further two have been injured and we believe that they are stable and, according to u. S. Africa command they are being evacuated. Now, of course, manneda bay, where this took place, is one of the most beautiful places in kenya. Unfortunately its proximity to the somalian border means its prone to so many attacks from this Al Qaedalinked terror group known as al shabaab. Last sunday they killed 80 people in mogadishu in a truck bol. Its their mode of operation. Nearly a year to the date on january 15th, they attacked a hotel here, killing 21 people. Of course, their audaciousness and brazenness of this attack is raising a lot of questions this evening in this east africa region, how this terror group could manage to enter such a heavily fortified place and carry out attacks, we understand as well six civilian contractor plair planes were badly injured. Earlier, the u. S. Africa command said both fixed wing and rotary aircraft were also injured. Many questions tonight, wolf, about how this could have taken place. Of course, it endangers troops in the street. The u. S. Has plenty of troops throughout africa. Farai serenzo, thank you. The impeachment trial appears to be going nowhere fast. Will anyone budge on their positions . Republican john kasich is standing by live to share his thoughts. Everybody knows that. Well, did you know pinocchio was a bad motivational speaker .

Lawmakers return to capitol hill with impeachment trial in the senate at an impasse. Nancy pelosi and Mitch Mcconnell tension continues. What there will be a fair trial in the senate, she insists. Republican the sooner this trial is over the better for the american people. What i would do if she continues to send the articles as required by the constitution, i would work with senator mcconnell to change the rules of the senate so we could start the trial without her, if necessary. Joining us now, former republican governor of ohio, john kasich and also a former member of congress. A couple months ago you came out in support of impeaching the president elect. Do you think it will impeaching the president. Do you think it will come down to a fullscale trial in the senate . My focus is very very laserlike, in terms of the potential iranian response to the action we have taken. I like former senator cohen and former secretary of defense, hope that response is below a threshold where we wouldnt have to get in a titfortat situation here. We need to stabilize this. Our issue at hand is what is our Long Term Strategy . What are we doing to contain a Nuclear Program iranians announced they are withdrawing from today . What do we do about the Ballistic Missiles and actions throughout the region. What are the back channels we have to develop. Frankly, our goal has to be to stop that Nuclear Program and missiles and reaction in the region. Impeachment is still the goal but we need grownups in the congress about the response that endangers all the people in our military. That is my focus today, not that we cant move forward on the otherside. Today this is a tense time for those in the country and families in the military. Yes and they are on the way. Do you think it is time to pause in the impeachment trial in the senate and let this crisis with iran be resolved . I think we went through this back in the time of bill clinton, when there was an attack inside of iraq, launched by the president , and they still proceeded. Right now, to me, in terms of a pause, i would not object to a pause. The speaker hasnt moved those articles of impeachment forward. My concern right now, my greatest concern is how does iran respond . Do they respond in a disproportionate way, and then what does that do for us . Do we then have to respond. This titfortat, the president has 52 targets. If they strike, we strike back and they strike and we strike and we end up potentially in a fullfledged war we want to avoid. Whats really interesting there were at least two occasions where the United States including the president , were very very close to sitting down with some of the iranian leaders, with the elected president , rouhani. There was an opportunity, frankly, during the u. N. Meetings set up and the president of japan, Prime Minister of japan, abe, and a number of times we could have sat down and maybe created a thaw in relationships. Today, what has to happen, we have to work with our allies and have a back channel to say to the iranians, we know you will respond, be careful what you do. At some point we have to thaw these relations and get back into a more stable environment. Right now, this is extremely concerning not just to us but our allies across the globe. You were in congress and leader of the House Armed Services committee. I want to get your reaction to this tweet the president sent out about iran. These media posts will send notification to the United States congress should iran strike any u. S. Person or target the United States will quickly and fully strike back, and perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required but is given nevertheless. As someone who served in Congress Almost 20 years, was on the House Armed Services committee, what do you think . I think that rhetoric itself was over the top. Everybody understands if iran instigate as strike, a devastating strike that were going to respond, i think they know that. What we dont want to do is have too much heated rhetoric. They will hit us somewhere. I hope when they hit us it will be basically lowkey, they will take some action and they dont raise the level of strife, so that we have to fire back. What im concerned about if the president says, if you say this, ours will be disproportionate. Where does that lead us . The end goal has to be a stabilizing of the relationship between us and iran. We know theyre bad actors. Weve come close to having meetings with them where we could have thawed this relationship. We have to get back to the table. The last thing we need is development of a Nuclear Weapon in iran. What that will lead to is a development of Nuclear Weapons in other nations located in the middle east. Lets see what comes. Lets get the back channels going, lets involve our allies and try to get on a path here where we can have stability. We do not have to go to war. War is in no ones interests including the iranians. Former governor john kasich. Thank you for joining us. A cnn prime program, i hope you will look back at suspense of the drama from president bill clintons impeachment trial in the senate. Heres a preview. I now move the doors for final deliberations, closed and ask consent for yeas and nays be vitiated. The very public process was private. First of all, the mood is a little more mellow because the tv lights are off. Reporter the white house expects the president to be acquitted. It was a surreal environment. Theres not enough Critical Mass to convict the president yet youre still on pins and needles. Theyre behind closed doors. What are they doing . Is there something we dont know . Could something be happening . Youre just waiting and waiting. We were getting regular reports and the kinds of things they were debating looked like it could open up newves.
