who is a cnn military analyst who joins us live via skype from oregon. thank you for much for talking to us. we want to take a closer look at the attack on the hospital and given what we know right now, what went wrong here? a mistake, according to the u.s. commander, but one that lasted 30 minutes. how does that happen? that s a really good question, and that s what s going to come out in the investigation. it was interesting today when the general was testifying in front of the senate armed services committee. he mentioned a few things that i think give us some insight as to what went wrong. he said he ordered the immediate retraining of all the people involved in the air strikes, and in calling in close air support on the rules of engagement and the proper protocols on how that s done. i take from that that something went wrong in the chain of command between the request for
