robert mccain longtime death row inmate i met him when i first got there he was a good guy that made him an orderly they trusted him he. was a good guy he didn't give the inmates any trouble even give the staff any trouble until the day died until he was scheduled to be executed robert had. results not to let the state of oklahoma kill him so he purchased and stored enough narcotics to kill himself several times over. in defiance of. or despite the rules and procedures that are put in place to prevent such a thing on the afternoon of robert's execution he took enough drugs to killing self several times over when he was discovered the the agents for the state of oklahoma instead of letting that man die which was their objective that day is that he leave this earth he did it for them instead of allowing his death in this peaceful manner that he chose by drug overdose they rushed him to the hospital come to stomach gave him the drugs to counter act the narcotics took him back to prison in two hours later they executed him they strapped him to a table stuck a needle in his arm and took h

doesn't this show us how unpredictable and as robert just so eloquently said how a horrible war isn't and should give us pause before we you know just like john mccain you know bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb iran. it's well absolutely and already as you were referring to earlier the polling suggests that americans or the question i believe that they were asked was do you believe that the benefits have outweighed the costs both human and financial of this war which is now over ten years old and now yes over sixty percent of americans say it has not been worth it perhaps more significantly though we should look at the fact that republicans are now even least split on the war the first time that we've seen that in five years of polling data so that's a very interesting takeaway to it's to see it that there really is a shift in mentality here and we've seen that in the primary races newt gingrich has said that we aren't going to fix afghanistan and rick santorum seems to be coming around to a similar vein of talking about about the war in afghanistan so yeah i think that we are seeing some very tough questions and the american public finally confronting the f

robert kagan? well, he served in the state department when reagan was president. he advised john mccainin 2008 and these days is special advisor on national security and foreign policy to mitt romney. >> let me make this very clear, as president of the united states, i will devote myself to an american century and i will never, ever apologize for america. >> oh, yes, back in the late nineties, six years after the first gulf war and four years before 9/11, robert kagan and fellow neo-conservative bill kristol founded the project for the new american century and signed a letter to then-president bill clinton urging him to get rid of saddam hussein once and for all by any means necessary. in 2002, kagan and kristol wrote, "a devastating knockout blow against saddam hussein, followed by an american-sponsored effort to rebuild iraq and put it on a path toward democratic governance, would have a seismic impact on the arab world -- for the better." hindsight is 20/20, as the saying goes, and nine years later we look back and see with perfect clarity how well jimmy stewart's america delivered i

mccain could now end up in congress. >>> hi, everybody, great to have you with me today, i'm thomas roberts. no knockout punch.atastrophe using a huge cash vault and organizational advantage to squeak past rick santorum in ohio. the buckeye state brawl lasted late into the night. romney carried that state by this narrow margin. just 38-37. in all, mitt romney racked up six victories -- ohio, massachusetts where he was governor, then virginia, vermont, idaho and alaska. rick santorum carrying the south, winning red states of tennessee, oklahoma, also taking north dakota, giving his campaign just enough juice to keep going. newt gingrich, the self-described tortoise in the race, as you heard off the top of the hour, swept his home state of georgia, the only super tuesday prize where the

robert kagan and his latest book, "the world america made." >> "game change" will -- the book title is "game change, obama and the clintons, mccain and palin, the race of a lifetime. it is just under an >> none of these middle-age white guys are game changers. >> from the new hbo movie booked -- based on the book "game change" john heilmann and mark halperin, they say, the plan was to shock the world. mccain's core conviction was that mccain's v.p. choice had to be a game changer. mark halperin, let me begin with you. why four years later are people still writing and talking about the 2008 campaign and now your book turned into an hbo film? >> i think in a way because it was, as we say in the book, "the race of a lifetime." you had people competing for an open race for the white house and a lot of plots and twists that if you brought to hollywood for fiction they would throw you out and say it is too implausible. the story of john mccain's collapse and then comeback and john edwards' extraordinary role only revealed far after the fact of what was going on in their lives as he was running for president and making a strong play to be the demo

robert zimmerman. chris moody, a political reporter for yahoo! news, and senior political contributor will cane is with us. john mccainilitary action on syria. here's a bit of what he's been saying. >> if we can do something about it, and we can, we should unilaterally -- excuse me. not unilaterally. no boots on the ground. with other nations who will join us if we lead, and we can bring this to a halt. >> no boots on the ground. the question today, do americans have any kind of appetite for any kind of military action right now? chris? >> well, i think, if you look back at libya, just a year ago, it didn't make much of a blip nationally. there was no anti-war movement that rose up after that. so i think people wouldn't necessarily be paying much attention so long as there weren't boots directly on the ground there, if there was a strike with other countries. i think it would go off, and people wouldn't necessarily notice it that much here in the united states. although it's true that people don't necessarily have an appetite for more foreign wars. i'm not sure it would make much of an impact on the conversation. >> r
