sophisticated planning. the lack of professionalism. we really miss general jones as the national security adviser. because he brought a level of pure professionalism to the white house that is now i think totally gone in national security matters. the fact is, you really feed a much larger strategic view than we have right now. i think that s probably a topic for a different day. whether you are talking about tunisia, libya, egypt, yemen, bahrain, saudi arabia, lebanon, afghanistan, pakistan, iraq, iran, we need a much deeper and much more serious view than we ve had. i m in the process of asking the congress, house and senate, to really organize a unique working group to look at 10 years after 9/11. and try to assess whether in fact, we are in worse shape in a deeper trouble with more enemies than we had 10 years
bernadine doran. then the obama administration says it s disappointed with the settlement. in february, obama officials confirm they ll support israeli anti-settlement statement. and then the u.s. vetoes blatant anti-israel resolution, but still managed to feel obligated to express displeasure with israel, calling the settlement illegitimate and a folly. we have a couple of other things in the administration, we have general jones. obama s former national security advisor. he told a joke talking about a jewish merchant denying a member of the taliban water but offering him the sale of his goods. he told this joke and at the beginning of it, i mean immediately hearing it thinking my gosh, this is an antisemitic joke. what is this? nobody said anything about it.

bill: in the eyes of that happening, saying the afghans is not going to do that and too corrupt and backward? i hear that corrupt baloney. listen, how many countries are corrupt? most of them. look another united states, how many congressmen. nothing on the scale of afghanistan. there have been criticisms of karzai are misplaced. bill: do you like him? i think it s been very unwise. he is the elected leader of the election. it was a rigged election? come on. it was an election. they have their own constitution. i think i do and no indication that she corrupt and the way he has been savaged by general jones and hal brook and other people, biden, he is the president of that country. we want him to succeed instead of running around. bill: i clearly taliban, give me odds the ga is defeated and a
replacement and sent signals how he s dealt with this where republicans don t attack him but stay on board and double down with his afghan policy, a delicate thing for the president to do. general mcchrystal had to know this had to be the end, when he attacks the president, vice president, amabassador to afghanistan, national secured advisor to the president. my guess is he didn t, to tell you the truth. this played out over a long period of time. showed no history. he s exactly the opposite of petraeus, a man in military doesn t know how the military works. just agreeing to talk to rolling stone right there is nuts. i have to say, in the recourse of the story, i don t think we got the sense this was intentional either. we got a look behind the curtain, men at war talking among themselves in a locker room way, mcchrystal is known
