so david hadley is able to leave the united states and travel back to mom by in 2007. hadley married for the 3rd time, his new wife. it's 5. 0 tyler, american medicine student 20 years. his junior headley takes her with him to mom by ostensibly on a honeymoon trip. they book and at the taj mahal palace hotel after the attacks by the spoke to an indian online portal via a live video link. for me, it was time for him, it was not. i think it was like even though it was their honeymoon, the couple quarrel. its moroccan wife even went to the u. s. consulate in a slow bud complaining about her husband and they didn't take her seriously. i visited that and they made me look like a, quote, the 1st for even though pfizer tells us about her husband's terrorist plans, she simply turned away despite the highly sensitive nature of her information, the cia fails to act on it with tragic consequences. it's a huge mistake, it's a massive mistake. he's not just an american. i mean, if he pops to the surface, he is going to be an american who has an affiliation with american law enforcement or intelli

. >> hadley gamble joining us from jerusalem. this was a highly anticipated speech, hadley.iven all the missteps by the president. it doesn't seem like there are any major missteps but he sure did focus a lot on iran. what are the major takeaways here? >> well, he certainly singled out iran, care rolin over the weekend. and european and foreign ministers that i was speaking to over the weekend seems to single that it's going to take more than talk when it comes to taking on the islamic state and basically fixing syria. let's listen in. >> we're going to move to iraq and then libya and somalia, so, we have to look at that. and holistically as well in terms we can't do thread the security threat and we can't thread the cultural and ideological threat. >> to be a proxy in syria should come at such a high price if you don't do it. the tag should stop wagging the dog. based on these negotiations hopefully when they meet at the world economic forum next spring in the middle east, we will see a difference here. >> the whole categorization you that do short-term humanitarian relief.

hadley gamble is standing by. hadley. >> good morning, susan. french president hollande said this is a country at war with terrorism and events we have seen over the last several hours in the northern suburb of paris. they certainly reflect that. what we know of course so far is five people at least have been arrested. we know that french media reports that some of the police involved in this raid have been injured and we also know that at least two terrorists are dead. we have also been told by french police that at least one terrorist remains inside of the apartment that's been under siege now since around 4:30 al local time this morning. of course i'm standing here outside. later today french lawmakers are going to be gathering here and debating the emergency of powers that are right now in place in the streets of paris and across france. they want to extend the powers for another three months and the bigger question going forward is what that will mean for security and intelligence officials in terms of the tools they can use to go after ris

hadley. can you pull your microphone closer, please? thank you. >> i've lost my testimony skills. i apologize. thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. to provide context for today's hearing, i would like, if i may, to describe briefly what appears to me to have been the underlying dynamic that lead to the recent confrontation between the united states and iran in iraq. in the fall of last year, iraqi citizens across the company -- country demonstrated in massive numbers. they protested what they saw as the corruption, sectarianism and ineffectiveness of their government. they protested the overweaning influence that iran exercises in iraq both directly and through iranian-backed militias. at least two iranian consulates in iraq were attacked and burned. demonstrations even in the shia south called for iran to leave iraq, chanting, "out, out, iran." beginning last october, kataib hezbollah began a series escalating attacks on iraqi air bases hosting u.s. forces. i believe kat

let's go back out to hadley gamble in paris. hadley. >> reporter: hey, carolyn. a lot of moving parts to this story. essentially what we know right now is the french have been ramping up attacks against islamic state positions in syria. thus far, most of these attacks, at least five have been kind of a nominal effort by the french. we know they have been big sillers of weapons to countries like iraq. they haven't been ponying up when it comes to taking action against the islamic state and syria. that is all changing right now. we heard from leaders at the g 20 summit in turkey. they were showing solidarity. they were going to grease the wheels in terms of the security, in terms of the intelligence sharing. take a listen to what president obama had to say. >> we will redouble our efforts working with other members of the coalition to bring about a peaceful transition in syria and to eliminate daesh as a force that can create so much pain and suffering for people in paris and ankora and other parts of the globe. >> reporter: president obama there basically saying t

hadley: i will take that. not the bushtion, administration, not the obama has had anion, effective counter narcotics program in afghanistan. the last people who did was one year when the taliban was in control and seemed through their own inevitable methods to reduce poppy production 20. to zero. it is a problem that has defied us for all the time we have been engaged in afghanistan. day,nk in the end of the the afghans are going to have to decide, what is the right kind of counter narcotics strategy for themselves? and it is important that they do so because it is one of the reasons why the regional states will report a sustainable peace in afghanistan if they can be ensured of two things. this is something china is central asian the states are marine about, pakistan is worried about, russia is worried about. they are worried about terrorism coming out of a guinness tan and narcotics coming out of afghanistan. need towhy those issues be addressed in the inter-afghan negotiations, not just because they are imp

steve hadley is not just former national security aide to president bush.you know, cautious. the second author, he is more problematic, he was an international adviser on international affairs to senator romnik when he ran for president, matthew krelnik, the posts that he held in the administration of bush jr. were not critical, but now he heads the center named after general scowcroft in the atlantic council. i think you knew skakrov, he was also very worthy and very reasonable. a very careful person, now the center named after him, steve hadley, is giving their names to calls not only to destroy the creep bridge, they do not understand why it has not yet been destroyed. dmitry, well, first of all , you know, as the classics of marxism and linism said, being is determined by consciousness, since they, so to speak, work in a magazine, or rather not in a magazine at the atlantic council, hadley does not work there, he is there. ok, but i don’t know, well , he probably gets some money there, being honorable, non -honorable, therefore atlantic money, i will te

hadley: those are very important points. think one of the things is that it gets too much about the united states and the region and what the region wants from the united states. we think a step back look needs to begin with what the region wants for itself. what is the conversation going on in the region, what are their thoughts and expectations of what they want for themselves? that seems to us to be the starting point to then have a conversation. what might the united states and europe and other countries be able to do to help and how to make that -- how to do it in a way that is acceptable and positive for the region. we will get to that interaction. we really want to start with a better appreciation of what is going on in the region. we say the region as if it was all one thing. of course, situations are very different country to country. that is something we need to get grounded on as well. thank you. in the back there. >> i have a question. do you think that the growing anti-isis contingent throughout the region would

hadley is there for us. hadley. >> reporter: wilford, basically what we learned over the last few hours is that an eighth suspect was allowed by french authorities to leave the country, essentially stopped, he was questioned, then he was allowed to go. so some serious questions for french authorities. we're learning from a member of the french senate who had been briefed on these events, but i also want to talk to you a little bit about the mood here in paris. what we've seen since friday is a sense of mourning, subdued city. people on the ground telling me that they're worried about their security and they're very, very worried about what the government is going to do to keep them safe. take a listen. just days after the worst terror attack in france's history, the city of light remains a city subdued. the monuments of paris once again covered with flowers and candles as the nation attempts to understand how this could have happened again. >> people really, really afraid. they are shocked. they don't unders

hadley in before we leave.d you to rebut because this is a charge -- in my opinion, sir, and i'm a novice at this game -- vladimir putin is the enemy right now. president obama is not. that's just my view. on that point, but mr. hadley, was the russian reset a good or bad idea at the time? do you think it's helped or hurt our relationship? >> one, i think we ought to be rallying behind president obama. this is a difficult crisis. and i hope that on a bipartisan basis the congress will come around and support what he's trying to do. secondly, michael's right. there were benefits from the reset. but i think we take some responsibility here. i think the bush administration, we did do some things in the wake of georgia. but we did not use economic sanctions against russia. i think in retrospect, that was a mistake. i think secondly that the obama administration moved too quickly to start the reset. we needed a reset, of course there would be. but it probably would have been better and i would feel better if we had

steven hadley, national security adviser to president george w. bush on what signaled that sense ahead of the trump summit with kim jong-un. also ahead, russia caught up with a diplomatic crisis as yet more countries kick out its officials. and caught up in a terrible national tragedy. the mall fire that killed scores in siberia. was corruption to blame? the former russian member of parliament sergei markov joins me from moscow. >>> amanpour on pbs was made possible by the generous support of roslalind p. walter. >>> good evening, everyone, and welcome to the program. i'm christiane amanpour in london. the winds of war have been blowing after months of brinkmanship between north korea's kim jong-un and donald trump. but diplomacy now seems to have a chance with kim leading the charge. he popped up in china this week, his first venture out of his country since taking power in 2011. china, of course, is his main ally. and leaders there say kim committed to denuclearization and to summit meetings with the united states as well as south korea. so does

what do you make of this, hadley?> wouldn't surprise anyone that the bush tape was in the mix if the clinton campaign had it or the dnc had it or mainstream media outlets had it and sat on it in order to influence the election. wouldn't surprise anyone. whether it's true, is a different story. sad that on the mainstream media, it would not be shocking. liz: as journalists, journalists report the source of where they got the information from. do you think they fell down on the job and should have reported the source who gave them the tape? >> no, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten it, right? whoever gave it to them. liz: the "washington post" could have reported it. >> what's that? liz: the "washington post" could have reported how they got it. >> why would they? why would they report who the source was, right? liz: because it changes the story. let me just give you an example. the "wall street journal" was covering the tobacco companies boosting the nicotine intake with things like ammonia and the whistle-blower step

cnbc's hadley gamble joins us this morning from paris. hadley, what can you tell us at this point?> this is a rapidly changing situation. we have conflicting reports coming in and out. but what i can tell you is that a massive separation is under way in a small down about 30 miles northeast of paris. it's a few minutes from charles de galle airport. we understand from reuters at least one person may be dead and several others wounded in this hostage situation. we also understand that there are at least -- that french authorities now believe the men suspected in the killings on wednesday are on the ground at the scene and we understand understand, of course, about these guys. we now know much more information about them. we know that they were on the u.s. no fly list already. we understand french intelligence was aware of them. the big question is for french authorities how much they were tracking them. we heard earlier from president

with us in muni munich hadley, what did the prime minister of the iraq tell you?> reporter: we got to talk about quite a bit of politics but we also got to talk about all of that money pledged in cue bait, $4 billion coming from turkey, $3 billion coming from the u.s. and of course, a significant investment potentially from saudi arabia as well as well, of course, with all of this money, what are the strings attached to it he seemed to be saying to me, j joumanna, he's going to be diplomatic where he puts the money. >> we have to see where the sanctions go we always have to ask for more and of course, i'm happy with it for the simple reason, there is lower oil taxes than before. all of the states are suffering with their budgets the world -- a lot in the world at last. and not that generous. having said that, i think the major motivation for this is a trust in new all they want to be that we want to make sure we are successful and they are successful, while laying down already the framework. and what we have done, i think, the worry, as i said, it's corruption, nu

hadley, i said did we expand nato too quickly back then? forget that now. may decide, you know what, i'm a little nervous about what's going on over there now in russia. maybe i want in on nato. what is the talk about expansion? are they more open than ever? or is there an old guard thinking the nato expansion may have contributed to this crisis? >> there is no one here suggesting that nato expansion went too far. we recently added a 30th member in macedonia. there hasn't been a conversation at this summit about adding finland. finland has always had this interesting, close relationship with both europe and also with russia. i will say there is conversation, and i happen to share this view, thank goodness we did expand and add the baltics. had we not added latvia, lithuania and estonia, i think they would be in the very situation this evening than they are right now. there is, i would also point out, just, again, in speaking to fellow parliamentarians, people who i respect and have been friends with for several years now, there is real concern about what mi

hadley here at the mansion. mrs. hadley was one of the youngest first ladies that lived here at the mansion. however, she chose to wait and have her portrait painted years later when she was in her 60s. the story is that her son, john hadley, did come in and see the mansion years later and remarked that he wished his mother had not waited until he was so much older to have her portrait painted, and he also wish she had chosen a dress that did not look like a nightgown. mrs. hadley lived here at the mansion when in february 1911 lightning struck the old capitol building and it burned, and she and her children were upstairs swaddled in blankets watching in horror as the fire burned down the capitol building. this is a portrait of mrs. carolyn bond. carolyn bond was really important to the mansion in what she did and provided for all of us. in 1973, she opened this mansion to public tours, trying to make the mansion available to all the people and the children of missouri. we have around 70,000 visitors annually, and th

hadley. >> good morning, wilfred. right now police confirming that at least one person, one terrorists remains in the apartment that has been the focus of this on going raid since around 4:30 a.m. this morning. five people have been arrested. one woman killed herself by detonating an explosive vest. earlier today during this raid. we also know that police and military personnel are swarming that area that they're trying to keep journalists out of the area. they told everyone to stay inside of their homes. they closed down schools in the area as well trying to keep people safe. this is a bigger question about the new security measures that the president wants to put in place. later today they'll be debating this at the assembly. they'll be trying to decide whether an emergency state will be in for another three months in france and what new tools that will give to security and intelligence personnel. >> two paris bound air france planes from the u.s. were deverted last night due to bomb threats made from the ground. on

heath manning the director of policy for independent the independent women's forum hadley thank you so much for being with us really appreciate your time and before we get to it can you tell us just a little bit about your organization your history. current independent women's forum is a twenty five year old organization based in washington d.c. and our mission is to give out issues of importance to women and family and that of course tax reform and health reform in that bucket but now on to health care i'm not sure if it's going to happen or not be a see a portion it looks like it might but you know if the individual mandate is goes computing is killed what happens to that what happens to the country then what gets put in its place remember the president was going to repeal and replace what doesn't seem like there's any replace now so what happens do you think. it's a fascinating issue for people who like to study help policy of course the individual mandate and itself isn't really a solution in terms of health policy it's sort of the side effect or a symptom once you create regula

but we had a staff meeting in stephen hadley gave me grt advice. he was one of the first people i went to. henry and connie and stephen gave me good advice. at the senior staff meeting i would say peace through strength works. american weakness is provocative. senior directors will say they thought it was -- but it was real. ife don't get our submarine fleet maintained and out deployed, if we don't start having hypersonic missile deployments, it's important today as it was two years ago, if we don't start acting, we can talk all we want, we could talk about democracy and national order, i've never known anybody who wants to fight and die for the oil space for international order. until the free world gets its act together and show strength, we won't deteour adversaries and we will end up in a blockade or some gray zone tactics of assassination of taiwanese leaders in taipei. then we will have a very hard time responding to it. we need to get our act together. >> two more topics, about 10 minutes left. i know this is l very serious stuff. guarantee

hadley, great to see you.guess the first question here, how does president biden's message resonate when frankly so many families are struggling with high prices? >> that's right. i don't want to overquote britney spears on this program but his message on the economy is really toxic, toxic, another one of her big hits. i think the unfortunate thing from this white house and from the political left when it comes to inflation, yes we have now an affordability crisis for a lot of american families but the only solution i hear coming out of the white house, let's spend more money, create more government programs, let's find ways to target affordability to create another program to help people afford things they need. that unfortunately will perpetuate the problem of inflation. what we really need to do is not put a bandaid on the affordability crisis the root cause. inflation, we have so spend less, not just private sector, but government has to spend less. sending more money out of the door is only adding fuel to

let's get out to hadley live from milan she has been covering all things energy hadley, i understand you have been talking to people in the corporate world and all options are on the table in europe to shore up energy supplies this winter and in the months beyond. how are corporates thinking about the role that they can play in europe's quest to become energy secure in the months ahead? >> reporter: julianna, it is fascinating con vversations the last couple days you say all options are on the table in terms of the policy response the folks i'm talking to here say good luck to them. there is serious investment needed we are talking about three to five years of pain depending which city we heard from the and germans helping each other out historic moment of energy sharing. this all goes back to the individual decisions by poli polic policymakers we have seen germany bringing to france and uk outside of the eu now. and i'm speaking to one earlier in terms of who is sitting pretty which is spain and portugal have a different dynamic and outlook with the pain they will be feeling as a re

hadley gamble, our friend at cnbc. hadley, 180 million -- i owe mitch mcconnell said it's a drop in the bucket, but this is the most we've ever done, which means we'll be spending money as a government to replenish it, obviously, as fast as we're emptying our reserves here. what is this going to do to the markets? >> okay. essentially what we know is that 20 million barrels per day is what americans generally consume. that's the number. this is going to add eventually 1 million barrels per day to that number. that's going to basically be free oil. but eventually the united states will purchase back around $80 a barrel to replenish the spr. but this is the biggest release we've ever seen in u.s. history. 180 million barrels per day. that dwarfs the last two releases, around 40 million to 60 million barrels per day. those releases, remember, they moved the market just slightly, what we would call a blip. think about this more broadly. this is a president that is under severe political pressure. he's also attempting to pu

hadley was the national security advisor under george w. bush. what do you make of this first two weeks of trump's foreign policy? what's your general reaction? >> well, i have to say, my general reaction is it's been fairly chaotic. that it's unclear in terms of what some of the bilateral diplomacy that's taken place. what the effect has been in terms of the telephone calls and also the tweeting. also, i think, in many ways, the big issue from a foreign policy perspective has been the immigration question which i have to say was not -- was really unprepared and didn't look into the unintended consequences of it and was based on untruths. i'm having some trouble with this first few days of the the trump presidency. >> steve, teething troubles or more than that? >> i think the role out of some of these executive orders has not been as smooth as it should have been. the mechanics were not worked out. it's pretty clear. i think you need to step back and ask what was the trump administration trying to do. we have to recognize this was a populist move

hadley: it is a pleasure to be with all of you this afternoon. i want to thank madeleine for the pleasure and privilege to work with you once again on one of our bipartisan policy initiatives. it is an important and exciting prospect. what we want to distinguish this project from others is to start with the views perspectives, and interests of the citizens and leaders in the regions on the problems of the region and the challenges it faces. for that reason, the theme of the event is "a view from the region," and we want to address a number of questions that would be the basis of our work. what are the underlying causes of the current crisis in the middle east? why have so many countries seen their governments collapse or be overthrown? what explains the rise of extremism in the region? what sort of government would people in the region be willing to support and fight for? what do the people of the region need to help resolve the current crisis? and how can the united states europe, and the rest of the world help? this is not your typical panel ev

hadley gamble joining us live out of paris. what's going on with the markets. >> let's check in on the markets since we came off the strong rally during the wednesday session on fed minute which is are indicating that we are in a rate hike. where's the u.s. future's boards guys? we're looking at the implied open verses the previous close. here we go. we're up 7.5 points. dow jones higher by 69 points and the dow is on a three day winning streak and dow and s&p seeing the best day since the end of october. here's the lead you're getting from the european side and we're in rally mode today. up and down so far this week but when it comes to the actual ftse 10 at the end of this aisle, we have been on a pretty goodwining streak so ftse mib up 1%. cac 40 higher by similar levels and german dax up by levels and ftse 100 on a multiday winning streak. the dollar of course moving in line with the expectations. the hike expectations from the federal reserve so we have been seeing the dollar move higher versus a lot of their most traded p

hadley: i think it is a good step.own view is it will not be enough to deter vladimir putin. he did not bring over 150 thousand troops to the border of the ukraine to settle for putting peacekeepers in these 2 breakaway provinces, if you will, and i think how it will unfold is something like this. he has said he has recognized an area that is broader than just the territory occupied by his proxy forces, but it includes territory occupied by ukrainian forces, and i think it could go in two ways. russia tells the ukrainians to get out of the territory, who are protected by russian keys -- priest keepers, russian proxies move en route -- ukrainian forces, and ukraine will have to back down into's to fight. if it chooses to fight, that would be an excuse that putin could use to move these 150,000+ forces into ukraine. that is the scenario i worry about. i don't think the sanctions today regatta blake -- regr ettably will that her him. nick: let me ask you about the scenarios and first about germany. how significant is it t

in two thousand and four former union organizer steve hadley was mysteriously sacked and for the next four years he wanted why he couldn't get another full time job then a friend told him about a plaque placed held by a private company and accessed by some of the u.k.'s biggest construction firms sure enough he uncovered a sixteen page file on himself goes into detail. what my political my political views were. reported it was clear. they were there the employers were distributing the small stem cells with this black list of organizations. basically not on the paper form of much of the information in hadley style it's clicked spread left wing newspapers and union magazines but some comes from a different source altogether the police i was and their name as a participant. this information doesn't come from their employers could only have come from a place i mean we don't agree with the employer's keeper blacklists it's not legal for any. mention when the security forces involved in this it it almost marks of a place that working on a building sites one of the most dangerous jobs in the

i'm joined by stephen hadley, now with the consulting firm rice, hadley and gates and he is in favor of intervention in syria. mr. hadley, thanks so much for being with us. the question a lot of americans have is what do we know about the rebels? the administration does seem willing to provide some more assistance as part of congressional authorization. can these rebels be trusted? >> i think the first thing you have to recognize is the rebels are not one undifferentiated whole. there are probably now over a hundred such groups. i think secretary kerry had it about right. there are some of these groups that are al qaeda linked that we wouldn't have anything to do with and the groups shown in that video are exactly those kind of groups. but there is a core group that is more democratic, that is not allied with terror, that wants more inclusive outcome in syria that we can work with and should be working with. and the kind of intervention i've been favoring is not boots on the ground, not even u.s. strikes but simply honoring these elements of the opposition so that they can be the cor

around the desk for me, both hadley and julia to discuss this further. david cameron as we're saying likely to have to follow suit? >> indeed, it's interesting that we're actually talking one more time about a positive vote on syria, in monitoring the islamic state. you have to remember syria's got a lot more complicated than two years ago when we had this vote here in the uk. and you have the russians now basically supplies not just fighter jets but also pilots in support of assad. so the idea of putting more military on equipment in this country, in terms of putting more troops and air strike that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to solve this problem anytime soon. so in that sense, is this a bit questionable, i would say. certainly interesting to hear more from these guys. >>> the latest flash, hadley, from hollande that france will start reconnaissance flights on tuesday. that is a clear step-up. it's not military action per se, but a step-up, right? >> right. we've seen the france giving more in certainly what's to be done. but this goes b

in two thousand and four form a union organizer steve hadley was mysteriously sacked and for the next four years he wanted why he couldn't get another full time job then a friend told him about a blacklist held by a private company and accessed by some of the u.k.'s biggest construction sure enough he uncovered a sixteen page file on himself to cause and complete tale reports. political of political activists were threatening injuries were part i was clearly . they were the employers were distributing this month's themselves with this blacklist in the organization i think basically are normally better for people from a climate much of the information in hadley style is clips probably left wing newspapers i've uni and magazines but some comes from a different source altogether the police i was and their names i was a participant on another freshest demonstration. this information doesn't come from their employers could only have come from a place i mean we don't agree with employers keep a blacklist it's an illegal thing. it opens up a whole new dimension when the state security forces

hadley for the statement. it is basically what we have been saying for quite a while, and this is a change in strategy . let me speak to you as a ukrainian, not just a politician. people asked me when i'm talking to them, especially soldiers, if president putin is warning that he will attack in winter, white wait 10 months, why is it taking so long for these decisions to protect us to be made? why is there no preparation, and it is still reactive politics? the turning point and victory will come not at the time when we start winning in the battlefield, but when our lives switch from -- paren i'm -- paradigm, to we are ready for what's going to happen. i remember two months ago, and we were speaking general breedlove, and everyone was speaking about the russian nuclear's data g. and the -- nuclear strategy. and what we were asking, was if -- what would happen if that would actually happen if russia would launch a nuclear missile at ukraine. he said it is very complicated, etc.. but this is not something we can

steve hadley, again, if the administration is able to pull together of something together in the way of an announcement from a group of muslim countries that they are spending more on counter-trump, how significant? i think it will be significant. and i think what the president is going to try to do-- and i think one of the most important piece of this trip-- i understand he's going to give a speech in saudi arabia. i think that speech will be very important. what they want to do is show they are working with and rallying the muslim world to be in solidarity against the extremists, to have the capabilities to cut off their money, and to really be in solidarity, and committed in a way that many americans think muslim countries in that region have not been committed against terrorism. if he can come back with that message,ening that's a win for him. >> woodruff: is that something, though, that makes a difference in the fight against terrorism? >> well, i think it would if it really has everybody working together. i do think it's very important to get the muslim community to recognize t

has failed to do that hadley made reference to the spr. captn't look at this from t wider geopolitical situation in the middle east which has seen the core producers shift close tore china and shift closer to russia they like operating in the multipolar world instead of tied to the u.s i think this is another example of a shift in the poll itics in the region. >> what kind of response do you expect from the white house >> there is little the white house can do there was tightening security of drone patrols last week and the u.s. is still doubling down on the security and flows of crude. on the other side, it has failed to influence opec in terms of its relationship with russia and completely failed to influence opec in easing policies to help the global economy in light of inflation. the u.s. is in a hard place in the gulf what can they offer? there really isn't anything at the moment >> not a lot of leverage there what does this mean for the price of oil we have goldman sachs saying we could see brent hitting $85 a barrel by the end of th

hadley, steve hadley. forker national secure adviser, former deputy security advise or, editor. most importantly for this moment as well for this at fascinating doug handoff, i'm going to hold it off just like vanna -- vana white just like this. i will commend it to all of you. it's the kind of thing that we miss in washington these days, which is a rational, serious, history fact based series of memos and observations on a period of time that was hugely important. if every transition had gone as well as this, we might be in a different place here today. but what we're here to talk about and i'm going to reiterate what i said at our first event. for give me for those of you who are joining us for a second time. what we are trying to do with this event series is to have a conversation not about what we think 20 years after the iraq war broke out, but rather to have a conversation about the circumstances at the time. to look at history as it happened rather than through the somewhat jaundiced glasses of the current day. see what the factors were, what the decisions were, what peop
