al misra, this group that is alive with al qaeda in iraq, the u.s. is set to designate that as a terror organization, but among the rebel leaders, they, like al misra because they are openly the al qaeda leaders are openly recruiting there among the rebels. how does this complicate hillary clinton s task this week going to mare concern and preparing to designate a rebel group as the new interim operational leaders. well, tough to sort through. i mean, secretary clinton is just a magnificent diplomat and will put a face on our policy that seems acceptable to our own principles. having said that, i have always thought we don t pick winners and losers very effectively in a situation like this. we should be supporting the insurgency and then sort out the next set of terrible problems that will eminate when assad goes down. barry mccaffrey, thanks so much. general, always good to see you.
