thanks for watching us tonight. miss megan kelly warming up in the bullpen. please remember, the spin stops here. big news breaking tonight, the president's former defense secretary offering explosive new criticisms of the president's foreign policy in the last few hours. and also the president himself more accurately. at the same time, al qaeda is claiming victory in a city where hundreds of american men and women were killed or injured fighting for the cause of freedom. good evening, everyone, it's turning out to be a busy news night, i'm megyn kelly. a growing sense of anger from some in the military about why our soldiers sacrificed so much in iraq. terrorists have been allowed to

take over. they're now flying the al qaeda flag in fallujah. at this moment. look at this, you can see the flags are flying over a city we fought so hard to control, and nearly 100 men and women died in one of the biggest battles of the war. then just hours ago, the wall street journal published an explosive new essay from robert gates. he blasted the president's foreign policy, both in afghanistan, which he says was all about getting out and on iraq, where mr. gates now says the president's position was simply to end what he believed to be a bad war. referring to a meeting he had with the president three months after the surge and afghanistan had begun, secretary gates recalled. as i sat there, i thought, the president doesn't trust his commander, can't stand hamid karzai, doesn't consider the war

to be his. for him, it's all about getting out. mr. gates continued, president obama was skeptical if not outright convinced that his own strategy in afghanistan would fail. we have all the angles covered tonight. fox news senior political analyst begins our coverage. this is extraordinary, and charles kraut hammthammer said tonight, he believes of all the problems and incidents. this is number one. >> well, perhaps, megyn, certainly this is damning criticism of the president and his foreign policy, and of the behavior of those around him. it is not quite so rough on the previous president, president bush with whom secretary gates said he had more in common and whom he served long after most of the main foreign policy decisions had been made. and it is also extremely hard if not hardest of all on congress.

so nobody comes out of this very well, and i might add, that i'm not sure secretary gates comes out of this all that well either. if he thought these things and felt them as strongly as he said he did, one wonders why he stayed as long as he did. >> let's start with the criticism, it seems rather extraordinary to have a defense secretary go after the commander in chief in this way, although he also praises president obama, and talks about his decision to go after bin laden as one of the most courageous decisions he's ever seen. it wasn't like it was a big long piece on the president, but nonetheless, he had criticisms of the president, and he talks, for example, about how he does not believe the white house can be trusted necessarily, that he believes as he put it, i felt agreements with the obama white house were good for only as long as they were politically convenient. and then he goes on to talk about the tone between the president, the commander in chief and his military commander saying, all too early in the obama administration suspicion

and distrust of military officers by senior white house officials, including the president and vice president became a big problem for me. he goes on, senior white house officials engaged in aggressive, suspicious and sometimes condescending and insulting questioning of our military leaders. and he tacks about how unhappy he was in the job as a result of that relationship in part. >> i -- you know, i think some of us who observe this administration are not all together astonished to hear these things. we're somewhat surprised to hear them in this form from this man, but this sort of attitude toward the military has not been entirely uncommon among democrats and among democratic presidents. one remembers the behavior toward some in the military in the clinton administration, where this was -- this kind of thing happened. bob gates makes a strong case about it, though, and he also makes a strong case that this was an administration -- while he says he doesn't believe that

politics was decisive, in any of the foreign policy and national security decisions that were made, he certainly makes no secret of the fact that they played a role. >> i think that's what charles was referring to, he's talking about how, president obama may have been outright convinced, he was skeptical if not outright convinced that his own strategy in afghanistan would fail. that he didn't believe in his own strategy. i mean, that's an extraordinary thing to say about the commander in chief who's sending men and women into battle to die, and they did die saying he didn't believe in the cause, he didn't believe in what he was doing, he kn they would fail. >> he is one of -- whether they would fail or not, the fact is, they really didn't fail, the forces in afghanistan have had a real effect there. the question now is whether it will be enough, in light of the fact that it came of -- the surge of forces came with an announcement when it would all be over at least on our part, you'll recall, megyn, if you go

back to the period where the president was elected, the democrats started with john kerry in '04, took the view that iraq was a bad war and afghanistan was the right war. that was the one where the taliban came from, that was where the attacks on 9/11 were launched on, that was the good theater, that was the one that was worth fighting for. that was basically carried by president obama himself through his campaign, and he was out on that limb with his party when he took office. so he did to some extent noll through on that with the surge, it's discouraging but not all together surprising to hear he never believed it. >> wow! i don't know, not believing in it, not believing in it, and he was skeptical if not outright convinced that his strategy would fail. i don't know, maybe i'm missing something, to me, that's extraordinary to say that about the man sending men and women in to fight. i'm going to ask duncan hunter about it now, he's with me too. great to see you. >> thank you. >> as we mentioned a moment ago,

these charges from secretary gates come at the same time that al qaeda flags are flying over the city of fallujah. in the an bar province, thousands of troops sacrificed their lives. many thought it was in vein to begin with, many others did not believe that, and went over to fight honestly and heroically. 4489 of our young men and women were killed. 32,000 more were wounded and they and their families have to watch in frustration, as al qaeda takes these cities. representative duncan hunter fought in the battle of fallujah in '04, he's outraged by the al qaeda takeover that threatens to undo what he and his fellow marines accomplished in 2011. let me start with you representative hunter on where i left off with brit on the

gates -- mr. gates matter, and i will get to iraq. as i understand, brit's point about the president saying, he doesn't necessarily believe in the strategy, but sort of committed to, this is the war he's going to see through. but do you see something extraordinary in the commander and chief, according to mr. gates, being skeptical is outright convinced that that strategy, he was sending men like you in to fight would fail? >> no, i'm not surprised, and we -- what you see here, what i see here is a political squandering of 34i89ry victories and abandonment by this administration of everything we did in iraq, in fallujah, ramadi, basra, baghdad, all these places where we fought, killed terrorists, set the people free, got the people on our side in the sunni triangle, fallujah, after the surge in 2007, i was there in 2004 in april 2004, after the big surge, fallujah was a relatively

peaceful place, so was ramadi, it transformed because people had freedom, they were able to vote. what you had going-forward to 2010 when president obama refused to get a status of forces agreement with the iraqis, this is point b, that is point a, what he did, his abandonment of iraq led directly to al qaeda, taking over what the marines and army had cleared and what we had set up, and what we had helped with the iraqis, the president by failing to get a status of forces agreement, because it was the bad war, he didn't want anything to do with it, for probably purely political reasons, i think, he abandoned it, and here's what we have, this is a direct correlation, point a, point b, here's where we are, al qaeda now controls what we fought so hard to free. >> i know that there are a lot of -- and we're talking about iraq now, we switched over from afghanistan to iraq.

i know a lot of veterans who fought in iraq are wandering tonight, because it's been reported now what are we fighting for, what did we lose our comrades for if now we leave and al qaeda -- al qaeda is flying a flag atop these cities. on the other hand, the american people wanted to get out of iraq by large numbers when president obama took over, and he got us out of iraq, and so -- we're not necessarily talking about sending people back into iraq now, but the question is whether we withdrew too early and in the right way, i mean, a lot of americans out there watching this tonight say maybe it wasn't perfect, but we got out. >> we won in iraq, my dad wrote a book called victory in iraq, my dad was congressman too, and chairman of the armed services committee. he wrote a book called victory in iraq, how america won the war. we had won the war by 2010, this president left for purely political reasons, if we had left 10,000 or 20,000 troops

there, like we have in every other war zone we've been involved in, except for vietnam. let's say post vietnam, this would not be happening whatsoever, the president abandoned everything we fought for, iraq could not sustain itself without some american involvement. it would be like leaving afghanistan right now, sometimes it's not the most popular choice, but i think that this president has shown that he does things purely for political reasons, this president has not only abandoned iraq, he's abandoned the middle east, he's out of everywhere, this is a juvenile foreign policy president when it comes to hard nosed foreign policy in the middle east. this administration are like little children. what we have then is, i was over there fighting, my marines were over there fighting, and what do we have now, nothing to show for it, because of political reasons, not because we didn't win, but purely political reasons. god bless all the men and women who spent time in iraq and fought there. >> duncan hunter, thank you,

sir. we appreciate it. >> thank you. the national security council has responded in part to the reports about secretary gates and his new book, making these allegations about the president's strategy as our commander in chief. in part, they said that he appreciates, deeply appreciates bob gates' service, that there have been -- deliberations of our policy have been widely reported on over the years, it's well known the president has been committed to achieving the commission there, the president welcomes differences of abuse among his national security team. he wishes secretary gates well as he recovers from a recent injury and discusses his book. he did push back on secretary gates' assessment, which was very unflattering of joe biden, the nsc saying joe biden has been one of the leading states men of his time. we'll get into this a little more, because there was a startling piece about hillary clinton and barack obama having a discussion. we'll talk about that a little bit later in the show. also up next, chris styerwaltz is here, we'll ask

him about the suggestions the president admitted a major failure. plus -- >> new details into why police and fbi have posted a nationwide warning about a killer on the loose. >> the action is very deliberate, very calculated and violent. this person could not -- >> did you see this, from dennis rodman? >> what do you think? let me do this? really? really? >> we'll show you the meltdown that has the white house running for cover.

upset by the president and his party, we're four and a half years into a economic recovery democrats tell us is getting better all the time. the jobless rate is so high, that the president considers it an emergency. if i'm taking office, the president and his party set two big goals, one was to revive the economy, the other to reform health care, the obama care mess tells us where we are on one, the call from further unemployment payments tells us where we are on the other. >> there he is again. that was brit a special report last night talking about the president's new push for extending unemployment insurance. today we heard directly from the president as he argued that jobless benefits actually create jobs. >> unemployment insurance has been a vital economic lifeline. for a lot of people, it's the

only source of income they've got to support their families, if we don't provide unemployment insurance they can't support their families. >> here are the numbers, last recorded at 7%, in november, that does not count the millions in the unemployment -- in a position of being unemploids -- you factor in the americans who are working less than they would like underemployed. you're looking at an underemployment rate of 13.2%. chris styerwaltz, the president took some ribbing online today for saying that unemployment benefits create jobs, i think what he meant was, the administration gets people spending. it puts money in their pockets, they don't save it because they have a lot of dough. that keeps people employed and cash in the economy. >> why are we cabbing it at 99 weeks? shun the we pay everybody all the time so there's plenty of money? >> now you sound like the guy --

>> you don't have to be a marijuana tourist to colorado to think that that is a great idea. people say that, that's an idea. it exists, it -- however contravenes what the president says and much of what they have said in the past about how you get the economy going, which is to move people into middle class jobs, you can't pay people not to work and have it create jobs. there is a little contradiction. >> the president would like for these people to have jobs. they apparently can't get them. the people are out there trying to find jobs. not all of them, but they can't get them. the question is, do we basically say sorry you couldn't find any, or do we extend the unemployment benefits a little longer to help them in an economy that's not so hot for many? >> it's always just a little longer, right? that's what we've been doing since the panic of 2008 which is

just a little longer, a little longer, this emergency, extraordinary relief, 5, 6 years, of just a little longer every time. let me submit something a little more cynical, it doesn't really matter what the president said today or what he said in the past, for this white house and this relates a little bit to what secretary gates -- what his criticisms were of this president, it doesn't really matter what you said before, it doesn't matter what you say now, what matters is, how can democrats keep the republicans from winning more than five seats in the united states senate this time. say or do anything if you like it, can you keep it, say or do anything that you can in order to keep the republicans at bay and keep the senate in democrats hands. if this is an administration that would allow considerations to come into the war in afghanistan or security concerns or whether or not to tell people they can keep their insurance policies when they knew they could not, if that would come

into those considerations, surely it comes into the consideration by talking about free money. >> it plays into the income equality narrative that the president said openly he's going to be pushing as he's in the second term. it's interesting, we'll see how it plays out. they got the go ahead, the six republicans in the senate and we'll see how it goes from there. a manhunt for the killer or killers of a former beauty queen after she was kidnapped and killed while on vacation in south america. and then there's the cold, the very, very cold weather. and what happened today. we'll show you how bad it became ♪ [ male announcer ] wt kind of energy is so abundant, it can help provide the power for all th natural gas. ♪ more than ever before, america's electricity is generated by it. exnmobil uses advanced visualization and drilling technologies to produce natural gas...

link the suspect and the victim knowing each other. as far as the act itself, the act is very deliberate, very calculated and violent. and due to that, we believe that the person -- >> i mentioned the 911 call has not been released, but after police arrived on scene, listen to one officer's assessment. >> be advised there's still an active shooter, this was not a self-inflicted shot. the recommendation is clearing the interstate. >> and they did clear the interstate, the shooter is still on the loose and may be driving a ford ranger with damage to the driver's side and some scrapes of silver paint from the other car. eight hours before this happened, 30 miles away, another driver reported that a dark truck was firing shots at him. that driver was not hurt, and police are trying to figure out if these two incidents 30 miles apart are connected. >> thank you.

>> robert gates has worked for nearly every president going back to nixon. mr. gates openly criticizing the white house and everyone else suggesting the president did not even believe in his own war strategy as he sent troops out to fight. retired lieutenant colonel allen west is a fox news contributor, good to see you. what do you make of this extraordinary piece by secretary gates. >> it's a pleasure to be with y you. when the commander made the determination for residual force we went to a zero force presence. we could have used those forces to be along the border with iraq

and iran and syria and iraq, you probably would not see the vacuum that was created and so iran has filled that vacuum, you would not probably have seen -- >> let me just ask you, what is the point of that, that he did that for political reasons as opposed to what was best militarily? >> i think the point is political reason, i think the point also goes back to what secretary gates talked about, was a mistrust of the generals on the ground and you see that in afghanistan. one of the things that we brought out in that wall street journal article, when general mcchrystal came up with his decision to have a surge the president was not pleased with that, he wanted to be the dominant entity when it came to policy decisions. have you to have the trust as the commander in chief with those officials on the ground. >> let me trust you. >> but the president ran, he ran for office saying, i'm going to get us out of iraq, the people put him in office saying, yes, do that, so he did it, i mean,

not being deferential, that's a different story, what secretary gates seemed to be alleging now is that even there, though, the president didn't believe in his own strategy. he did the surge, he knew he had to do the surge, he did not believe in it, and in fact secretary gates suggests he may have known -- he may have been convinced that it was going to fail, even though it didn't fail, he may have thought it was going to. >> you're absolutely what you just articulated, the difference between a politician as opposed to a leader. someone that's looking to be a commander in chief that's going to make the right type of strategic level decisions that looks forward. not just the sound byte and the short term political objective. that's something the american people have to come to understand, are we going to

continue to elect politicians that will tell us what we think we want to hear? or are we going to elect true leadership and states men and people that can fulfill the role of commander in chief. >> that's an interesting point you raise. another piece of information that has come out from second gates. the exchange between hillary rodham clinton and barack obama that he witnessed and he writes about it saying, hillary clinton told the president, he claims to have been witness to this. her opposition to the 2007 surge in iraq had been political, because she was facing him, meaning barack obama in the iowa primary. the president conceded vaguely that opposition to the iraq surge had been political. keep in mind, he opposed the surge too. to hear the two of them, making these admissions and in front of me was as surprising as it was dismayed. he heard hillary clinton tell barack obama that her opposition to the 2007 surge in iraq was done for political purposes.

>> and those are the exact same two individuals that we need to get the truth about. four americans were abandoned in the firefight. terrorist attack, not a video. they lied about it subsequently, if we're going to continue to have these politicians and people that are playing politics, with the lives of our men and women who are out there doing what this nation has called them to do, to fight for our liberties and freedoms, then we have to look at ourselves as a nation, and that's why i support that select committee to look at what is happening there, so we can get the truth from hillary clinton and president obama. we cannot -- >> that may happen i want to tell the viewers, secretary gates as he was with the president on certain leadership items was very complimentary of hillary clinton saying he found her smart, idealistic, tough minded. funny, a very valuable colleague and a superb representative of the united states all over the world. the book is pretty even handed from the excerpts that have been

released. probably not as -- >> four americans lost their live lives all of those nice little character traits -- >> we invited some white house representatives. we will get to the focus on tomorrow evening with that point of view, so far we should have a written statement from the national security spokesperson as i said earlier, talking about how they believed their afghanistan policy and the deliberations have been reported already, over the years. it's good to see you. >> always a pleasure, thank you, megan. former nba player dennis rodman back in north korea and goes on an epic rant while there, today about why he thinks it's a great idea for the world that he is there. the panel has their take next. we've got reports of dozens of injuries, some serious as folks try to learn exactly how cold it is. wait until you see this. aflac!
