Have a deal with the dmes holding them up. More on this is timothy obrien, the executive editor of bloomberg gadfly. Never a dominant. Why would he be calling out these guys . They are supposed to be natural allies, he needs these people. He cannot help himself, this is traditional donald trump. During his Business Career and down in his political career, he has never been good at building allies. Often, at his own expense, strategically and personally. We saw this in new york back in the late 1980s, early 1990s, these epic roles with the then mayor of new york city, ed koch. He needed support to get zoning approval and other big projects.

Washington journal continues. Host we are back with congressman walter jones, republican of North Carolina from the Armed Services committee. What is your assessment of the isis strategy so far . Is it working . Guest let me say that one of the worst mistakes i made since i have been in congress was too vote to pass the aumf, authorization of military force, to give president bush the authority to go into iraq. Host in 2002 . Isst yes, maam, the reason we have a constitutional responsibility and i do not think we should commit our young men and women to war unless we debated on the floor of the house when we have a constitution that we promised to uphold. I had just gotten tired sick and tired of seeing all these commitments overseas and its always the american soldier is going there. These other countries at best have limited involvement and i think its wrong.
