12:27 pm
presence in iraq. stuart: that's pretty tough talk coming from an ex-member of president obama's inner circle. former cia covert operations officer mike baker with us. mr. panetta said two things there, he said we should have armed the rebels in syria two years ago, and we should have kept a presence in iraq two years ago. do you believe that had we done those two things, kept troops in iraq, armed the rebels, we wouldn't be dealing with isis now? >> well, we wouldn't be dealing with islamic state and the configuration they're in, meaning they wouldn't have seized and held, had the territorial integrity and been able to point to this building caliphate they've got with provides them with advantage in terms of striking at the west. let's not think it would have been happiness if we'd just armed the syrian rebels. frankly, the problem is leon panetta, he's saying the same thing robert gates did. they were both secretaries of
12:28 pm
defense and former heads of the cia, a lot of experience with those two gentlemen. the problem is, he's right. president obama's right. when he says we didn't know who we'd be handing weapons to, that's absolutely true. we didn't have any clarity even at the very beginning. now, here's the catch, catch is we still don't. it's not as if something's changed other than political expediency and poll numbers between then and now. we still don't know who we're handing these weapons to and what their agenda's going to be down the road. stuart: i'm not going to ask you where and what you did, but i want to know what's it like trying to hand over weapons to people who you know in the back of your mind, you've got a strong thought that maybe six weeks or six months down the road they'll turn and fire at you? what's it like in those situations? >> yeah, it's -- first of all, it's a real big logistical lift when you're talking about building a program where you're arming and training opposition.
12:29 pm
regardless of where the opposition is, but when you're talking about as much a volatile place as syria and iraq, there's really no border there anymore, it is an enormous lift. part of the problem is, of course, vetting and understanding the backgrounds of the people that you're dealing with all the way down to, you know, to the basic troop level. not just the commanders. and to do that sort of vetting, it's tough enough doing background checks on people in relatively difficult environments. in a place like syria and iraq, you almost have to be into the villages talking to tribal elders to understand who are these people, what are their agendas. and, yes, you always have in the back of your mind, a, there's a massive security concern because you're happening over weapons to -- handing over weapons to people, but maybe in the short term they're happy to take that because, yeah, they'd like to defeat the islamic state, but that doesn't mean our interests are aligned 6, 12 months from now. stuart: i said i wasn't going to

12:46 pm
alibaba as an american home group stock. would you buy yahoo!? >> i've recommended people buy yahoo! for the same reason you just pointed out. the trick is, it's not worth anything without the alibaba stake. that being said, alibaba is a monstrous undertaking, and it's about the future of the internet, stuart. stuart: you think that alibaba has a rosy future as the internet company of china. that's where you're going with this, right? >> well, the internet company of the world. you're talking about 600 million users in china alone, 800 million by 2015. you're talking about an internet space that is going to be larger than the united states, britain, france and the e.u. by 2020 combined. so this is really not just about china anymore, this is about how the world views the internet. stuart: is it a monopoly? does the chinese government -- i know it's not a monopoly, but did they restrict competition for alibaba? >> you know, i've not seen any

12:48 pm
places better than amazon? >> we would all love it if alibaba would just quietly stay in china and keep doing what they've been doing, but the fact is they have global ambitions, and this is very clear as your previous guest stated on the ipo. they listed this in new york. this is a message that this company's not going to be satisfied just taking the bits and pieces from china, as big as they are. this company has the world in mind. stuart: but amazon's already there. they've been ten years in the field. they're tried and true, they've got a great system. why should they be so worried about what is essentially an upstart from china? >> well, that's the point. they've been there, and look how quickly alibaba's come on? this company that you've probably never even heard about a year ago is now one of the 15 most valuable companies in the world. this happened overnight. this is an amazing story, and this company has other advantages that you may not paying attention to that give it an each bigger edge. -- an even
12:49 pm
bigger edge. stuart: okay, what other bigger advantages? spell it out for me. >> one of the things they did a very good job in not drawing attention to is its tax rate. alibaba's tax rate is only about 12%. 12%. compare that to amazon. they have a tax rate of over 30 over the past 12 months. this is an enormous edge, and if we think that this isn't a big deal, we have to remember all the great efforts these companies have been making to get their tax rates down. so this is a great example of an edge that a company overseas has that really should be getting the attention of people here. stuart: okay, matt, stay there for a second. i want to bring back in keith. a lot of people want to think alibaba is the next google. buy it now, that thing just takes off for a couple of years. do you think it's that good? first to you, keith. >> i don't know about takeoff, but it's certainly going to gather strength, it's going to do so quietly and then, boom,

one day there it is, and it's going to be a huge, fabulously wealthy company. i said apple, i thought, would be the first trillion company. i'm switching horses, and i think alibaba's going to take that role. stuart: matt, what about you? this is a company that's coming on with a head of steam, and a lot of people say, well, you know, they're not direct competitors with some of these companies, but the internet has been very clear that no one stays in their on sand box for long. look at amazon. amazon because it's competing with other companies. linkedin, facebook, they're all bumping up against each other. amazon even sells a phone. i don't think it's a good assumption that alibaba's going to stay nice and safe where it's been. stuart: matt, keith, thanks so much for joining us. we've talked about self-driving cars on this program. now take a look at this, a self-driving big rig, as in truck. could this be the future of trucking in america?
