simple. military historians say there s no evidence in history of an errant word causing a war. we have had a lot of rhetoric from the previous administrations warning north korea about destruction if they continued with their nuclear capabilities. nothing has stopped them. absolutely nothing. everything about our posture for the last several decades has done nothing to keep them from the path they re on. laura: what is crazy. this is crazy. it s happening on republican and democrat administrations. i think leaving the border open and very unsecured was crazy. i think letting china become a dominant economic and military power was crazy. i think taking mubarak out was crazy. i think doubling down and doubling down again in these middle east conference that are quagmires that we can t get out, a lot of craziness to go around and maybe people are polished and give speeches that don t wander off like trump can. but the policies have been crazy. they have hallowed out our middle class.
mubarak in egypt, with the guy whose name i forgot in tunisia. barack obama, very naively, beginning in 2009, you arabs deserve to be one man, one vote, all the rest of us, so he got the muslim brotherhood after he threw mubarak out. gadhafi was killed, and sandra: in the wake of this strike? syria, you heard john kerry speak out in support of what president trump did. meghan: i was surprised to hear that, because i would debate that john kerry was 100% complicit in the atrocities that happened in syria. president trump, 100% accurate. he wouldn t be in the position globally that we are right now if president obama hadn t spent eight years leading from behind, and gone on international apology tours for the united states of america. i hope president trump has learned lessons from the last eight years. i believe what s happened in syria is when the president leads from behind.

of government. it details the amount of money went into currying favor. it points out how important this was. little did the cia understand this would have extraordinary repercussions 25 years later. one of the things fascinating is this is an open secret. we ve heard from madeline albright and president own. the first time the cia has acknowledged its role in this. do you think there s going to be any kind of shift or a change or way that president, the new president of iran, can open up a new dialogue with the united states? the release of the documents was a result of a freedom of information inquiry. this is not something the united states voluntarily provided. it does come at an interesting time because iran has a new president that s talked about moderation and trying to engage
