Awkward. at 29 past the hour, welcome back to morning joe. here with us now, republican senator from arizona, senator jeff flake. and democratic senator from minnesota, senator amy klobuc r klobuchar. good to have you both back on the show. joe will be here in a second, talking to my dad, can t get over that story. and i am glad he didn t wake me up. what an incredible living on the edge. can you imagine? because they had a black book that listed options if the missiles are coming in, do we attack in the soviet union? military targets? economic targets? leadership targets? and it was a menu that if this occurred, the president would have to say, let s hit here and here and not here. he only told me that story recently on a mountaintop in maine. and i mean, it was very windy. and everything went silent as he told it because it was so absolutely gripping. and i was just i think about 10 or 11. okay. so let s get to what we re ....
Compound tonight, if they can, and ransack it and hang him from the ramparts of green scare which i m looking at right now. they want a nato air strike on the compound to finish the situation for once and for all and put an end to gadhafi. whether nato will do that is a different matter. nato has shied away from directly targeting heads of state in the past and said it s never targeted gadhafi. it was only targeting leadership targets and things like that. so i think there s a political decision that would have to be made to target the compound if the belief is that he is inside. are nato planes still flying over the capital or other libya right now? reporter: that, i think, is one of the reasons it s been so difficult to communicate today. we ve been trying to broadcast and then had our communications cut all of the sudden. and as we hear nato aircraft in the sky. so nato planes are certainly above tripoli. ....

Issue, which is pakistan which is an extension of the cold war between the pakistanis and the indians. so we are two levels away from the the real source of the issue. so, what do you think would happen if the president of the united states came out and said we are pulling out of afghanistan, we are going to launch into a series of diplomatic and economic leverage with stack stan to try to sort out mess that that is? what would happen to our national security? i don t care what about what happens there? what would happen to american national secure fit it made that decision? frankly, i think enhanced on two levels. first off, expense, talking $800,000 per soldier deployed in theater. per day? $800,000 per day is what i have been told. that is a lot of money to spend. yeah. what you have got do is pull back from that and figure out how to actually do what is necessary to protect us, which is a sense of looking at the leadership targets and forcing them to the table. this i ....
