Clarissa we had nikki haley on, the ambassador to the u. S. , onetime governor of south carolina. Had a couple of important things to say. One, this is so much different than what has been decided in the past, and afghanistan and pakistan arent on the travel ban because we know enough about the people who are traveling from those countries wanting to come into the u. S. What do you make of those two notions . Well i think lets start with the first notion. I think President Trump had a really piece of fancy footwork that he had to do here. He had to basically justify why he was doubling down on a war that he has continuously disparaged, and how it was going to be different in his handling than it was under president obama, whose handling of afgh afghanist afghanistan hes consistently disparaged.
