results. what do you make of that? i agree with that, neil. i was at minnesotaly opposed to bringing those guys from gitmo into the southern district of new york forever but in this instance i think this guy should be tried, provided with his rights under the constitution, and convicted and executed for what he did. look, our bill of rights and our constitution is the founding of the premises pop what our nation was founded and if we throw those out, adversity doesn t build character. it reveals, which. we can do this and convict this guy and he can pay the ultimate price for what he did, which is exactly what he tee serves. neil: recommending giant na? i disagree. at this point we re in a war out. troops are going over there to guy so this guy can sit around his apartment, with his apartment, and plan to kill americans. for his we re fighting for his freedom to do that. he does not like america. he is a jihaddist.
no relationship with the military. and what does come through loud and clear in this book is the distrust and the long knifes that were out, the infighting between the civilian side, the white house aides, the political former campaign aides and the military brass. well, here s another quote. when senator lindsey graham asked the president if the july, 2011 withdraw was firm, the president said i have to say that i can t let this be a war out end and i can t lose the whole democratic party. again, the president admitting he had an outside window he couldn t continue through. let me go back to chuck todd at the white house. chuck, i was talking to andrea the fact that the quotes and the book by bob woodward admitting basically, he had political concerns. that we couldn t stay in the war more than two years, or his democratic base, which is basically dovish would abandon him. fair enough? andrea points out that is fair enough. here is the other question, was he staying there at least
i mean, part of what i think is so tragic is that this was a tremendous opportunity for the country not just president trump, but for the country to finally give due credit to people who helped to win this war. those code talkers, any other language, the japanese and germans were prepared to break the code, mathematically they were prepared to break the code. these navajo code talkers were the only people who were able to get communication in that war, they saved hundreds of thousands of american lives. iwo jima was won because of them, they ve never been truly honored. today was that day. a community of people, who frankly, every treaty we ever signed with native americans, have been violated over and over again, they could have sat that war out, they didn t. this was their day, and he crapped all over it, being an insult comic, dragging in a completely irrelevant issue. it was despicable, i feel sorry for those guys in they re 80s
