leadership really is clarity and a vision. let s get right to our panel. joining us now is the washington post nia-malika henderson host of on background, krystle ball who, of course is my colleague and the co-host of the cycle and mckay coppins political editor at buzzfeed.com. how about sean hannity and ann coulter, finally locating those weapons of mass destruction. amazing they found them. more than ten years later sean hannity has finally found the wmd. incredible, a day to be remembered. excellent. mckay, let s move on to donald who s neatly timed book tour, he s told the today show that the democrats controlled congress when lawmakers authorized the invasion of iraq. is that true or is this just the latest donald rumsfeld fantasy. the donald rumsfeld seems like he s been a little confused as i think those segments showed. he s been confused for the last couple days. last decades. two decades.
yes. keep going. part of the confusion comes from the fact he s not really litigating syria as he s talking about this issue. he s relitigating iraq and talking about his legacy and the brush administration s legacy there. there have been a lot of comparisons made over the last few days. he wants to remake the case ta going into iraq, spending years and years on nation building and you know, replacing the regime was the right move. that s what he s talking about when he says we need regime change or do nothing. those are the only options. i don t think you can apply the exact same less ones from iraq to syria but he s going to try. krystle, would you ever try and defend iraq if you were donald rumsfeld? he s making his best attempt. one thing i would say where he s right is that this president is very different from the last president. the last president was all too willing to use no evidence at all to beat the drums of war to force congress to pass a
back to hurt rand paul. even the interventionists who think we should be out there expanding the american empire like you said, they don t say it, they don t trumpet that position with the same fervor that they used to. i just dote think in 2016, americans on either party are going to be punishing a politician for trying to keep america out of another war. final word to you on that. one thing i want to point out here, there s a lot of talk of the ascend answer of the libertarian wing of the republican party. it remains to be seen if it s really just a reaction to their hatred of the president and the desire to oppose him at every turn. interesting to see. krystle ball, anyia malik cag henderson, and mckay coppins, thank you. coming up, decency, decorum and online poker? really, senator mccain?
