coherent and you see the demands to destroy i.s.i.s., and you know the iraqis can't do it, saudis don't chave the interest and the iranians are problematic, who else is going to do it, but the cost of that, the willingness of the americans to stand up and say not just that we want to do them, but we'll pay for it in blood and treasure. that is an open question. >> i'm not hearing a main stream presidential candidate yet offering that up. the indispensable american thesis. >> it's very interesting. i would say this is an election where we do have candidates really talking about foreign policy, where president obama is week and numbers are bad. they are talking on indispensable game, but not getting in the specifics of how to pay it, it means we are in danger of having another 4-8 years of an incoherent force on foreign policy. >>> who do you blame that on, is that an obama thing or the world thing or a government not letting the president manage his foreign policy. >> a bit of it was clinton soviet collapse, all of this, rwanda, the balkans, a little george bush junior post 9/11, overreaction.
