david ignatius column. look what you did, set off, outlining how the administration is scaling saddleback its options. susan ricel security adviser reordered priorities on foreign policy and this is all part of that. explain what you think it happening and how it's perceived overseas. >> the administration is stating a new approach to the region in which they are being pretty explicit about u.s. difficulty in determining the outcome of what they view the civil war in syria, rather than try to pretend they can shape it decisively. pulling back from that. described the approach generally as one of strategic humility recognizing there are limits to american power as we certainly saw it in the iraq war and afghanistan. i think what's bothering the people, the situation in syria is so violent, the loss of life so great, it's going to get worse this winter. we're going to have tens of thousands of people suffering in the cold and dying i fear. it's understandable that members of congress are upset. i haven't heard anybody, including the angry senators, propose a strategy that's much more coherent than what the adminis

rice's possible appointment is not sitting well though with espn analyst david pollack.over the weeke weekend. >> now i'm going to stick my foot in my mouth probably. i want people on this committee, guys, that can watch tape -- >> have played football. >> have played football, around football, that can tell you different teams on tape, not on paper. >> so no woman belongs on the committee because -- >> oh, no way. >> so in that cross-talk you may have missed it, he doesn't think that any women should serve on this playoff selection committee, and his justification for it is he only wants people who have played college football. >> he then reclarified afterward. because he came in under a lot of fire. >> he said he sent a tweet out "i want people on the committee that eat, sleep and breathe college football during the season. it has nothing to do with being male or female." i happen to know a lot of college football fans who eat, breathe and sleep it, who happen to be women. >> just said it doesn't have to do with a man or a woman. >> he's running his mouth in trouble. >
