here is hillary clinton with christian amanpour. >> we send americans into perilous, dangerous places all the time. i believe that's the right decision. we have to do it prudently, of course. but we need to be where things are happening that can affect us. the security of our country, our friends and allies. so much else we hold dear. when people have every right to second guess and question, but when they say the united states should n't be in dangerous places i just disagree. i don't think we should be retreating from the world. that would be a position that i would strongly advocate. >> michael steele, i have been waiting a long time to hear somebody say the obvious. ambassadors make decisions in the countries where they represent the president of the united states. that's their job, to make tough decisions. chris stevens made a decision he was probably proud to make but cost him his life. it comes with the territory. she also made a point of talking where the president was, where she was that night. all the details everybody has asking for. i thought she hit a home run. your thoug

. >> christiane amanpour is in new york. we've heard some interesting comments from people who have been involved in iraq previously, especially former general david petraeus, cautioning the united states government from necessarily siding with one side in what could end up becoming a civil war. obviously the iraqi government in this construct would be the shiite side against isis's sunni side. what strikes you the most about the criticisms and comments we're hearing from so many people involved in the previous military exercise in iraq? >> well, most of the military commentary that i've heard and that i've sought myself including from commanders who were involved last time around and in the intervening ten years or so is that it sums up as follows. we were as irresponsible leaving this war as we were in getting into this war. and by that, these commanders mean that there was a period of time when isis, its precursor, aqi, were in the throes of that collapse. there was a surge. isis and al qaeda were defeated and the united
