are we adding it, what s the problem we re trying to solve? the administration refused to do that. and i think it s a function of, number one, their arrogance, that they just think they can assert power and people should fall in line. but number two, i think it s also a function of the president seeing virtually everything in political terms, in terms of political gain, and he sees politics as a zero-sum game, i win, smenomeone else has to los. instead of saying can we work together, can we deal with, this what s the problem we re trying to solve, he simply says this is my way or the highway. well, the president s been shown the door to the highway several times. michael genovese, thanks for joining us. thank you. well, a u.s. navy s.e.a.l. accuse of war crimes in iraq has been found not guilty in the murder of a wounded isis fighter. a military jury in california gave its verdict tuesday in the case of eddie gallagher. other s.e.a.l.s accuse him of stabbing a young captive in 20
