i can understand you wouldn t, but if we continue to make the mistakes of the past. this is about war. can we get answers? you re a guy who knows about this. do we really know where the missiles are in north korea? intelligence sources tell me that we do not have the degree of information we did in a place like iran where our spy capabilities are really good. our aerial capabilities were good. i m asking a a military question. if you give me a chance to answer, that would help us both. it is true that north korea has the ability to disperse their capability, such as it is, in ways that it are harder for us to deal with because there s not as much information in north korea. that part is true. that s what i m trying to get to. so what? so the fact is when we talk about denial of capability, when lindsey graham says there s denial of capability that ship has sailed. what we have to do now is to try to deter their intent.
that is why it s critically important that we re engaging not only with the russians on this limited but critical military question. we ve got to engage with the russians as well as countries in the region to have an a negotiated settlement. i don t know necessarily what that looks like at the end of the road. but what hasn t happened, is there hasn t been enough in the way of pushing and probing as to whether or not we can get to that end game. but having assad many in place over time is going to foster not just more opposition within syria, but his very presence there barrel bombing his people over and over again, killing children over and over again for years. that is driving the threat posed by isis. so the two are related even though we re on the same page with the russians on the battle against isis. we ve got to deal with the syrian problem as well. senator bob casey, thank you
running as a billionaire independent and hoping that in the era of bush and clinton he can pull his 38% 39% to be the next president of the united states? i always thought trump had in the front of his mind running third party. back in 1999 trump toyed with the reform party, remember that? if he runs in the republican primary and has to pull out or fifth in iowa and fourth in sixth in new hampshire, i m not sure that helps him for the independent race. he had a great run. he s a talented guy. he knows how to dominate and get public ti. i think we ve seen the top. one thing rick perry did that we can say he could have had a lighter touch, he focused on the military question. it s one thing to be, you know, critical of illegal immigration and say some of them are
pentagon. the iraqi government now dispatching two brigades to reinforce troops on the outskirts of the city. is there any real hope now of retaking ramadi anytime soon? reporter: you know jake the u.s. spent billions of dollars trying to prop up the iraqi forces. but the question now that ramadi has fallen is a military question. can the iraqis move back in and retake the city before isis gets too dug in and too heavily fortified? out-gunned by isis faced with waves of fighters and suicide car bombs, iraqi forces in ramadi and thousands of residents with no choice but to flee. the pentagon called it a setback. the obama administration, trying to downplay the loss. i am absolutely confident in the days ahead that will be reversed. reporter: but isis did what the u.s. said it could not do. field a large-scale military
fills the void. so, you know, you re asking the right questions, like what does defeat look like? because right now, they re almost like an atmosphere. there s the concrete specific military question of the territory they hold and the forces they field. then there s the larger question of, like this environment we live in this atmosphere of beheadings and this con today on of recruitment. we ve been conditioned by 12 13 14 years of the war on terror, ever since 9/11 of this unseen enemy out there. it s now as if we see it, and it looks large and really formidable formidable. and it looks really fearsome because they sort of revel in this grotesquery. there s an argument here for u.s. troops on the ground that
