Guest what he seemed to have said made sense, that he was doing the best, he was doing the best that he could do in the job that he was given, and there was no sort of its almost like being a good student and demonstrating your skills and diligence. And i think that was probably how they survived this war, because so many things didnt make sense, and so many things seemed meaningless to lose your life for. So i think you just needed to concentrate on the job in front of you. Host craig nelson, was there a lot of vengeance in later battles in this war . Guest well, you take this incredible moment that happened, and the navy just responded with a fury. A

Group. President s that have had key advisers, the kissingers, the brzezinskis, the cheneys that sort of dominate the advice in one way or another. President s that have used their cabinet. President s that rely on the National Security council or a handful of trusted adviser. So the analysis, the intelligence which has sometimes been good and sometimes catastrophic in misjudging events and how that has led us to a decision. I talk about president ial decisions in the book, whats going through the president s mind . Is there a degree of emotion . Is there Something Else thats happening . Did this catch him by surprise, or is there something beyond just the cool and cold analysis that leads to that decision . Also the strategy thats created. Before you even decided decide p onto a battlefield, i can tell you from a military generals point of view, tell me what you want me to do.

Oral exholley fox 29, which one do you want. Yeah. It seems like the loser on have that with get the pie but it makes no sense why am i involved. Yes. Yes, jammo. Yes. I got it.

Temperatures in the 40s, a few in the 50s and precipitation in the western part of the state but as we zoom in nothing making its way here, we will see a little more sunshine this morning.

See this as you are dressing for as you walk out the door. I can a attest it absolutely feels like Single Digits outside but thankfully the win isnt too strong just yet. Again, it is on the way, even though we should hit 26 degrees, that is bad enough. That is already 14 below the average. But you factor the in the wind and it wont feel any better than the the teens and again, adding to the wintry atmosphere probably a couple of snow flakes for many have of you, vittoria.
