the era of strategic patience is over. general mcmaster s saying it s clear the presidents determined not to allow this kind of capability to threaten the united states.s. we know they have nuclear weapons. we know they don t have capability.. if you take those words literally, it sounds like they feel that they have to take out any capability they have. how do you interpret it? i think that s right because you can have a nuclear weapon delivered by a ship.uc he can do a variety of different things. doesn t have to be an icbm. doesn t have to fit on a missile. you put in a cargo container. i think this is a serious,ut serious problem. also a great danger to north koreans selling nuclear weaponss to terrorists. i think that we ve been through a long stretch here where we had a big fight over this when i was speaker, and just could not get the clinton administration take it seriously and of course obama
