people getting fired up by what we did in afghanistan or iraq and using that as a basis for their own radicalization. >> that's right, chris. that's why you and david are exactly right when you're saying putting it in the proper perspective. let's be very clear. barack obama has been an ass kicker when it comes to al qaeda. he took out bin laden. he decimated, took a buzz saw to al qaeda. they are now decimated. secondly, he has properly put forward the obama doctrine which is a shift to the counterterrorism doctrine. to be very specific, not nation building. we're focusing our efforts on nation building here at home. >> patrick murphy, couldn't agree with you more. coming up, where is the irs scandal going from here? a big question. the official overseeing has been removed from duty. no evidence has been discovered of any obama involvement whatever. are the critic left with anything more than conspiracy theorys? plus, when groucho marx couldn't sell his ice cream he thought he would fight any person. the only club that would accept him as a member. also, why one republican congressma

particularly among i would say the president's domestic advisers who didn't want to do too much even afghanistan or iraq or iran and he wanted to run a tight ship it was a veteran nfl of because the objective wasn't solving the problems. it's dangerous in that sense because it might actually put the united states in a place where it would have to risk diplomacy. it wasn't just on iran. the administration also was extremely worried and the political settlement to far ahead and then they would end up in a circumstance where they would have to defend it, so i think that's what i'm saying, this foreign policy even though we were in this big war even though we were spending $100 billion on this war in the end. it is by the logic of winning are finishing at war but the larger domestic politics which basically said, you know, do what the military wants because then that's popular and the responsibility is with them. we don't want to do anything risky where the president has to risk political capital. he would basically shut down his idea about the political settlement. >> host: they were not sure that they cou

. >>> you think of them as patrolling the skies in afghanistan or iraq, but unmanned aerial vehicles, better known as drones, may soon be coming to skies above you and in a good way. the federal aviation administration is opening american air space to more drones in 2015, and they'll be commercial. not military. and with that increase, john fort tells us the industry is looking at not only creating more drones, but more jobs. >> first you screw the motor on here. >> reporter: chris anderson left his job as editor of "wired" magazine last year to chase what he calls a huge idea. planes that fly themselves. you and i call them drones. and in a struggling economy, they're a fresh idea that might provide a nice lift. the industry claims it could create as many as 100,000 jobs, adding $82 billion to gdp in the next 12 years. anderson's company has gone from 0 to nearly 100 employees and he's not alone. a drone maker based outside l.a. has seen its sales grow ten-fold. >> about ten years ago, we had between 2 and 300 people. today somewhere around 750 people. so it's been a significant grow

understand this is an ancillary job and there is a high revel of rotation of people coming back from afghanistan or iraq, whatever the case may be, but we also reach out to squadron level training. it really comes down to meeting with your cooperating agencies and training together on a frequent basis and having good and open dialogue. >> as i look back at that map here, knowing we were heading into that time of year where we're going to hit significant fire weather and knowing northern california as we are now but eventually southern california, one of the most effective ways to stop the fires from growing is that initial attack, which means we need to be able to quickly put resources up in the air and move them. i guess my question is from a national guard perspective, from a naval perspective, with the helicopter resources down there, do you feel you would be able to quickly move those resources and you have the agreements in place. we'll start with the national guard and work on our way down. >> although we're advertised as a one week a month and two weekends a year, i've got crews on pretty much ev

horrific but other incidents where there was unnecessary violence because of steroid use in afghanistan or iraq? >> yes, anecdotally, a lot of anecdotes that we've gotten, we have mental health experts and psychiatrists working with us that have been in the military and talk about this being a problem. and serious problem. they all the street term road rage is true. i certainly have other cases where they alter a person's perception and aggressive tendencies. >> but no official reports, these are anecdotal stories? >> that's correct. we may have more substantive evidence about that in september in the penalty phase. >> all right. john henry brown, we hope you'll come back and talk to us more about this case. >> it's a pleasure. thank you very much. >>> we're getting a new look at the house where castro was accused of holding three women hostage and sexually assaulting them for a decade. cleveland's woio, the station that originally acquired this, scott, thanks for join us. what's the most shocking part of this video? >> i think it's when you get into the garage, you mentioned that barbed wire a

considered only two strategies which is a fully resourced counterinsurgency which is iraq transferred to afghanistan or what the vice president advocated which was called the counterterrorism plus which is we leave the fighting all together and rely on special forces and drones to target al qaeda inside of pakistan's northwest frontier. the a diplomatic option-- which is what richard holbrooke wanted-- was never actually one of the option it is president considered. he could have considered it and rejected it. but -- >> rose: but he didn't consider it. >> he was not -- you read the book. there is no mention of a third tion which was richard's option with far fewer troops on the ground and aggressively and actively look for a diplomatic solution which would have made holbrooke and secretary clinton the principal actors in managing the end of the war. >> rose: i mean smeshgs had a powerful voice in conversation. so if richard holbrooke's ideas

we've seen now potentially hundreds of thousands of veterans who may be returning from iraq or afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder. conservative estimates say one in five folks coming home. >> the whole virtual iraq, afghanistan exposure therapy system is a set of scenarios, like villages, afghan villages, iraqi villages, city environments that resemble middle eastern context, and we can pop a user into any of these environments that sort of match what their experience was. >> and the idea is that you need to go over and over what happened to you, as if it's happening again. and thenin a safe environment, you learn and your brain learns, if you will, that you're no longer experiencing the traumatic event. >> how did you first think wait a minute, i'm doing all of this after they come home. what can i do before? >> it was sort of a logical process where we had to study the process, interact with a lot of patients and we had to see that pain. you know, you think to yourself, well, why don't we do a better job on the front end so we can put ourselves out of a job on the back end.

you can imagine, a 23-year-old marine, maybe you were injured in iraq or afghanistan. you come back-- . >> jon: you are saying i can imagine being a 23-year-old marine. >> well, maybe, maybe. they come back, and what happens is when people start giving them stuff they start to internalize the idea that they are charity cases. and they're not. they're not looking for a handout. this generation of veterans wants to find a way to continue to serve. >> jon: an here we are in a country that is desperately in need of that ethos and we have myriad problems going on in the country. it seems like a perfect match. it's almost as if we have these hundreds of thousands of incredibly dedicated smart, tenacious individuals coming back to the country, looking to serve, a country that needs this service. why is it difficult to put those two entities together again? >> we found that it's actually working really well. so through the mission continues you've got hundreds of veterans who are coming back. and when they get engage approximated in their communities, these are men and women l

. >> i hear reports that some veterans come back from afghanistan or from iraq and they are made to wait a hundred and some throw 50 days before they can get the treatment they need. this seems to me to be inexcusable. why is it taking so long and what will it take to get the country off its did you have and mote the needs of the veterans who should get the first fruits and not the left overs. >> vets are told to wait in line for the disability claims and benefits earned. the disability backlog has grown twoind percent and almost 900,000 vets are waiting on claims. and some in areas two years for a response on their claims from the regional centers. our group started a million vet back log.comand a petition. get people to wake up that our vets shouldn't wait on a calcified bureaucracy. it needs to be fixed and we will at a on it. >> is the problem the budget or bureaucracy. >> no, it is not the budget, governor. it has increased 40 percent by 2009 and they are exempt from sequestation. and it is not a funding problem. but a bureaucracy that is unwilling to reform itself. incentives don't

, i would say, the president domestic advisers who didn't want to do too much either on afghanistan or iran or iraq. they wanted to tight ship which of goldly lock for the re-election. and risk and diplomacy was -- [inaudible] their objective was not solve, problems. the objective was re-election. in that sense, yes, holbrooke was dangerous in that sense. because he might actually put the united states in a place where he would have to risk diplomacy and he would have to president would have spend political capital. it wasn't just iran. the administration was worried he would push the issue of negotiations with the taliban or a political settlement too far ahead and they would end up in a circumstance where they would have to defnld it. -- defend it. i think that's the foreign policy. even though we were in a big war and spending $100 billion a month on this war, in the end, our strategy was not governed or directed by the logic of winning or finishing the war. but the logic of domestic politics. which said, you know, do what the military wants because then that's popular and possibility with them.

crisis and they are facing challenges they have not had to face before internally is it about afghanistan war iraq or iran? one thing that tips the balance is syria. >> guest: you are absolutely right we're often faulted for mistakes and it is important but we have to learn from this and the problem is back from afghanistan the over emphasis on military bet there were tactical mistakes made in the way house announcing the deadline with a political settlement if the president from the a political settlement if the president from the beginning told the military will get the coin but at the same time i am serious about the diplomatic end that would have a much more balancing effect that this is the sense united states doesn't just withdraw from iraq that leaves the region entirely and that is hard for allies like jordan and morocco to say we made mistakes and we stuck bayou now you came in and you literally pushed not only the shaw 30 years ago but mubarak out and they did nothing after the day after he left a pushing him off with no engagement of democracy building and then perfectly fine with the asce

what we want to do is help but not -- we don't want more iraqs or afghanistans. we don't want more vietnams. it's why i wrote the book. to give people a guide to figure out where do you get involved, how much. we have a lot of resources. but we don't have unlimited resources. we've got to choose and set priorities. we've got to be disciplined. >> great advice. richard, good to have you on the program. congrats on the book. up next on the money, it is pasta pronto with restaurateur and chef dedicated to bringing la doech vita to consumers. >> you can find us on facebook/marie bartiromo. >>> when it comes to dining dollars from new york to hong kong to your kitchen, my next guest puts his money where his mouth is. owner of 24 restaurants, author of nine cookbooks. mario, great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> you operate restaurants all over the world. what does the dining industry tell you about how consumers are feeling right now? >> it tells me at the same time they like something they recognize and they want to take a little risk but not one that can't

every year for the past few years i've taken a delegation to afghanistan or iraq, i've been alternating. mostly afghanistan for mother's day to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, the our grandmothers who are serving there, young grandmothers but to thank all of our troops for what that do to protect american families. we won't be going this weekend because in the sequestration, we don't have the it in the budget. i hope to go some time soon. some members have had an opportunity to go in and bring our best wishes to our men and women who are serving there. it is something that is beautiful to behold the roles that women are assuming in the military and now they can be in combat, which means they can rise to the heights of our military service. i don't think there is anything more wholesome and this increasing and empowering women in whatever field it is, in this case the military. what was said on previous visits was the people we met who had en victims of sexual assault in the military to meet with chaplains and talk about how to do with this issue. it is encouraging that so muc

. >> they are veterans who faught for the country in places like iraq or afghanistan. but when they leave the battlefield and come home they face critical delays getting s disability benefits because the department of veterans affairs has a massive backlog of claims. >> back log has risen to national attention and has prompted much outrage and for good reasons. nearly 600,000 claims have been pending for more than 125 days. this number is unacceptable and must be addressed. >> democratic lawmakers in the house introduced a package of legislation vowing to end the backlog by 2015. in maryland with one of the largest back lolgs in the nation the average wait is 15 months -- back logs. it's the same in text tents and in nevada it's 17 months. too often the claims are processed too late. >> well in many cases what happens is the veterans die, deny, delay, deny until we die and unfortunately that has happened far too often. >> the biggest delay is getting the defense department to turn over electronic medical records to the v.a. the measures in to introduce in the house wou

down the definition of war, which is a politically astute move which is always going back to iraq or afghanistan and saying "we can construct drone strikes or we can do iraq. we can put 175,000 troops in your country or we can do manned aircraft which will kill lots of civilians." so it's always about talking down how we should think about wars by setting iraq as the standard bearer for how we should think of war. iraq is a rare example. regime change is not how we should think about war. we should think about the scope of the continued sustain firm footing which this administration wants to conduct drone strikes. they're asking for nine permanent bases in afghanistan, opening up a drone brace in niger. within five years they will be able to launch armed drones off they value carriers. the president has authored cyber offensive kinetic strike so boots on the ground is yesterday's war but it's steupb kikinetic affects that affect local population. >> you're saying the definition of war is changing and therefore part of that includes how we ought to address terrorism. >> yes. >> but it's not just

know i don't expect every american to apologize for the actions of george bush the invasion of iraq or afghanistan and i think that sometimes feel this way that they have to condemn an apology they feed into the narrative that somehow that muslims have something to apologize for condemned that somehow this has something to do with them it was islam that right to close these people think that's long as politicians deny the radicalization factor the massive one which is foreign policy that i think we're going to continue going around in circles and i think that muslims right now again scared to speak out because they may be labeled as islamist extremists and right now we have a climate where if you blame the politicians if you blame foreign policy if you mention iraq if you mention of when you started you're labeled an extremist thank you so much for your insight on this very bizarre case and i'm sure i'll get weirder and weirder i said we'll be following your blogger as that and for the us and beg independent journalists on the ground and london. one of the most peculiar aspects of all of this is t
