thefirming -- confirming, they e flying over iraq. they know they are there. but regardless of what avenue president pursue, his defense secretary thinks that iran should be involved, his join chief chairman is convinced what is happening in iraq now will not happen in afghanistan, despite the president's plan to pull out of afghanistan in mutual of the same way high pulled out -- he pulled out of iraq. >> talking to iran, about security issues on the ground probably makes some sense. i agree you know there have been sideline conversations. what is likelihood of what happened in iraq visiting

10:03 pm
targets scandal, their attorney will join to us talk about that but first, to iraq. joined by congressman brad wenstrup. he served as a combat surgeon in iraq, very about qualified to talk about what is goin there, u are surprised these development in iraq. we invested a lot of american pressure through sacrifice, and loss of life in iraq. we really did not do what was appropriate to soak cure iraq -- secure iraq and able to make it thrive as we move forward, i am not surprised to see something like this take place.
10:04 pm
>> any time you decide to leave, it seems to be such a deeply divided part of the world that something like this appears to happen, you could be there more ofer. >> that may be, looking at japal there, that is over 50 years. i don't think it would have been foolish that as we eliminateed the saddam hussein regime, and we set up a new government with the iraqi people, we engaged with them, and said we'll be here as many years to come to create a new -- alley in region with you could people would understand that, but we did not do that, we're wishing we had. i feel very much for those families that made sac sacrifics and lost loved one in iraq, though wounds are i'm sure are being reopened with this.
10:05 pm
>> how should we approach this? this is extremeist against extremism issue d. do we use any military approach? >> well military is an option, but i think as much as anything, we have to look at the battle feel looks like. -- battlefield looks like, if i am a military leader, i want to know, do we have an iraqi army willing to fight or sunni or only shia, i would do something on a policy structure to try to encourage the iraqi government to embrace their sunni population, and make home peal a part of the cun -- make them feel part of the country, that is part of the problem. and then what does the battle on feebattlefield look like, addit, what do you hope to accomplish,

10:07 pm
of the v.a. itself. i think choice and competition need to be a part, we have to make sure that our veterans are taken care of. we that served us, we owe it to them. we have to look at methods to get them into immediate care, a waiting list is unacceptable. >> thank you. >> confidence in president obama is collapseing as his administration is forced on respond to scandal after scandal. from veteran's affairs and the controversial bergdahl release, and the recrisis in iraq, president's approval rating is 41%, matching all-time low of march, approval of his handling of foreign policy is lower, and president also hitting a new low on personal approval, 45 percent have negative views toward

10:32 pm
tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. for that moment, where right place meets right time. and when i find it- i go for it.

10:34 pm
them and think he's probably going to do something that makes it look like he's doing something but it's not going to do much good. he has to face the fact he lost this war. ashley: yeah, richard, would you agree with john? what can the president do here? you know, it is a sad fact, we had a congressman on before who acted as battlefield and he feels sorry for soldiers who gave their lives to restore stability. but frankly, all of us saw it coming, didn't we? >> the truth of the matter is this. i tend to agree, there are three-state solution is the only solution that can work in the situation. joe biden talked about it ten years ago. people thought it was a joke, it's real and the only way we're going to create peace. where i disagree is i don't think the president lost this warm. i think the war was lost from day one. when you take a hornet's nest or bee's nest and shake it up over and over and over again and keep shaking it, you should expect fwees come out. that's what's happening.
10:35 pm
>> richard, do you think it was a good idea to walk out in 2011? >> listen the plan was created by george w. bush. >> it was, but obama was supposed to get status support agreement when he had a problem with it, he decided it's time to run. >> we can sit here and talk about history all we want to. let's talk about what's happening today. >> fine, but somebody lost the war. >> the truth of the matter is the u.s.-backed government that is currently in charge of iraq is not working and we've got to fix the government. >> we have got to fix it? do you think barack obama could fix that situation? >> it's not a matter of president obama fixing the situation or not. it's on the iraqis to fix the situation. >> they're not, you know they're not, there's going to be a shia iraq, sunni iraq and a kurd iraq. >> what's wrong with that? >> we need to face the facts, obama got a war that was won and gave it away. >> let's be very clear.
10:36 pm
the war in iraq. >> don't give me that. the war in iraq. >> ended a war that was won. >> it was when george w. bush got in the plane and said mission accomplished. >> in 2007 after the kurds, you know darn well. don't go back to mission accomplished. >> he blew it! >> gentlemen! we could go on all night and we're. let's talk about hillary clinton, did you see the interview with bret baier and greta van susteren, she sounded like a candidate and backed away all the questions like an accomplished politician does. >> senator clinton or secretary clinton, depending what title you want to give her is doing political posturing. whether or not she's going to run, i don't know, nobody knows, only the three clintons know what she's going to do. clear she's doing posturing. the book was to create a small day and night between her and this white house, a majority of
10:37 pm
issues, she tends to agree with the president. benghazi, agrees with the president. foreign policy, she agrees with the president. >> no, she doesn't, she doesn't agree with dealing with iran that the president is currently doing. >> she took credit for benghazi. >> richard, richard, she said emphatically in that interview, dealing with iran on -- fixing iraq is out of the question, and the president is doing that right now. >> that's not exactly what the -- the president is keeping all options on the table. the president is keeping all the options on the table. >> will not happen. >> if you remember american history well, and i'm sure you do, you can remember during world war ii, we allied with stalin because -- >> are we going to go to the stalin trick now? >> and it's been -- i'm not blaming fdr at all. in world war ii, mutual enemies makeis mutual friends for the
10:38 pm
timeing. >> iran killed americans and we're asking him to fix -- >> during world war ii to get rid of hitler. this has nothing new -- >> and hillary clinton said no way, we're not doing it. >> you should go back -- >> you should take a hard look how much daylight she's going to put between here and barack obama. only way for her to vun get a lot of space. it's going to get ugly. >> if you say so. >> if you say so! >> that is where we'll leave it. luckily this argument didn't get ugly. mr. gibson, mr. fowler, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you so much. ashley: okay, who knew that a tiny square of very old red paper could fetch you 9.5 million bucks. john probably did. the record setting price paid for a rare postage stamp from a

that had the older model recalled vehicles are trading them in and buying new general motors vehicles. that says a lot of people for the brand. there may be pr issues but the bottom line is they're selling cars and they're doing well and retaining customers. ashley: yeah, it's remarkable, looking at the stats. the value of a 2010 chevy malibu rose almost 3% from february when the recall started through may. should point out malibu has been part of five recalls and the value has gone up. is it perhaps people are now perceiving that safety is such an issue, a priority for gm, they feel more comfortable with the vehicles now? >> i think that's definitely mind-set for some people. they feel like this is the safest period of time to buy a general motors vehicle, because they're looking at every single thing that could possiy go wrong with the vehicles. but you also just have out there a demand for used cars,
10:47 pm
