was a supporter of his in 2008, 2012, but colin powell has long believed in the powell doctrine, thatwhen you go in, go in with overwhelming force and get it done quickly and move on. that's what the americans will support. we've seen that over the long, long 13 years we've been now involved in conflicts in afghanistan and iraq that people have gotten very wary. they did want to get it over with. so when president obama talks about it may go on to my successor and even that person's successor, i -- that's not what americans like. but it may well be the case. it is worth remembering that under george w. bush, condi rice, secretary of state, kept arguing with regard to terrorism that this is going to be the work of a generation, and that looks more prescient now. >> let me ask you, why did mr. obama feel the need to end his speech really with lines from a standard stump speech? certainly his. i mean, we have the best yust universities, he said. talked about the auto industry being strong, strong job creation. >> i thought that was peculiar and detracted some from his speech. the country

that they r but when the white house makes that determination, then they have to do exactly what colin powell said, which is reluctance to go to war, but when you decide to use military force, the powell doctrine said you use overwhelming force. if you're going to pull the trigger, then do it. don't try to do it half heartedly. because you're going to make the problem even worse. so i think it remains to be seen over the next week or two whether our arab allies and others will follow the united states and the big question is, do they believe that the u.s. is serious? do they believe that we are actual going to go in and try to eliminate the enemy? or do they think that we're going do some sort of targeted drone strikes? targeted attacks against a killer enemy like isis is not going to work. we need to use the powell doctrine. >> and rick, that brings me to this and i have got about 30 seconds for you to answer this. but u.s. intelligence officials and private experts are now saying that isis has become financially self -- there any way to cult off their money supply? >> yes, we need to get ve
