8:05 am
way he had that individual touch with people are much lower ranks than he. but again, this is a guy who's ego was very low. he probably said to himself, i regret doing this. i made a mistake. but for people like him that don't have a great concern about his place in history, i think he got over quite quickly. his legacy will be that un speech that he made in 2003. but i think those are sort of served in the military and admire what she has done and what he meant for a generation of soldiers, particularly black and african american soldiers that realized there were no limits inside the military for them and others of their race. that's what he'll be remembered for. the us state department watchdog will review the end of the pipe administrations diplomatic operations in afghanistan. it'll take him the evacuation
