barak obama has consistently demonstrated i think a refusal to accept good military advice in terms ofith bosnia air campaign, people were getting so impatient. i remember bush 41 getting so impatient. if we're bombing and they are still beheading and this keeps going on week after week after week, there is going to be pressure for us to get more aggressive. but right now, we're bombing sections of buildings. not even buildings. >> right. >> just sections. >> we are. and there is a reason for that. i don't know what it is, but i know there is a reason that they're picking only these particular targets. i think he also makes a good point about strategy and trying to take out the enknee a more full way. but you mentioned collateral damage. i think the u.s. military is really showing their annual to avoid collateral damage. we can even pick a heading that we want to attack on to avoid hitting mosques and schools. i think being able to see these, as you're calling them pin pricks, the military calls these surgical strikes. like surgery, taking out something very specific. >> somebody doing

frank, whenever barak obama seems if danger of falling, do we have to hear that george wind chill bushcliff? i hear so much about bush's failings and bush's sins that you'd think he were still huddled over desk in washington. it isn't exactly reason for a parade. not being as bad as someone else is hardly the same as being good and then to the point that we heard on capitol hill yesterday the new york times, itself the slippery slope begins, there is no way to read this other than as a reversal from the firm commitment that mr. obama made not to immaniers the country in another endless ground war, even though general dempsey's remarks were conditional, the obama administration opened the door to diner more costly involvement even before the strategy is fully sketched out. what do you go, richard? >> two things. one is relitigating the first decade of the century is interesting to political types. it certainly plays, it's understandable in terms of the white house wanting to explain why they're in situations that they're in. it's not particularly savthto satisfactory as a leadership. we
