ever speak the truth about dick cheney's record of getting it wrong?en it crosses the lives of 155,000 people. every true iraqi expert will tell you now, thanks for letting it be. that's "hardball." "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. tonight, on "all in," the end of an era. the surprising resignation of the attorney general. as washington gears up for the confirmation fight of a lifetime. >>> and is there an isis plot to hit american subways? plus, disturbing video of a routine traffic stop gone very, very wrong. >>> tonight, a former police officer joins us to break down how this happened.

. >> the republican said meeting with dick cheney yesterday behind closed doors, some reports said someof the newer republicans, tea party republicans, came out of that and said why should we listen to former vice president dick cheney anymore. republicans -- republicanssenate and mitch mcconnell have said we need to approve this. that a vote should happen in the house. because he wants to take over the senate, he is in the pursuers position and boehner has the majority. . populists and a house who might be concerned leerythis vote and may be about spending a bunch of money on a protracted military campaign. that is one of the things that senators and the matter -- members of the house are looking forward to in speeches. about how long the speech could last. it might be quite protracted because isis is not easily destroyed. not vote forthey something that could last beyond this administration? gives the war powers act the president a 60-90 day window. they could weigh in on a later date, earring a lame-duck or more likely, at the beginning of next year. one of the things democratic and

i think they better be careful with advice that they take from dick cheney.eney is more responsible than anyone else for the worst foreign policy decision in the history of the country. the invasion of iraq. >> joining me now, buck sexton and also larry, a former al gore adviser and senior fellow for u.s. foreign policy. gentlemen, welcome. >> buck, to you first. you heard senator reid talk about the worst foreign policy decision ever. a day before 9/11. hours from hearing the president tonight talking about this new fight, this new terror organization. why the heck should anyone listen to dick cheney who many agree got it so, so wrong in iraq. >> this goes to compulsive need to start talking about the first iraq war when we're about to look at the third iraq war. cheney views the obama world view as proven wrong by what's happened in the middle east. the idea that we can -- i was talking about lowering military readiness by having less troops in any period since world war ii is problematic because you can't foresee. this was foreseeable. what president obama

refineries that are used by isis, and coming up, the former vice president of the united states, dick cheney, and his daughter liz will join me in studio with their take on the fight against radical islam. but first, a military campaign against isis and iraq and syria, fox news has obtained a joint bulletin from the fbi and the department of homeland security that the strikes increase the risk of a lone wolf terror attack here. fox's own katherine jherrod, she's standing by in washington tonight and she has all the details. catherine? >> fox obtaining this five-page news bulletin warning that the air campaign has diminished the likelihood of a foreign attack by terrorist groups. but at the same time it lengthens the risks from lone wolf sympathizers in the u.s. it raeds in part, we believe these strikes will contribute to homegrown violent extremists' broader grievances about u.s. military intervention, possibly homeland attacks. part of the corisan leadership who also had a personal relationship with osama bin laden involved in the strikes. he said the plot was more complex than a single bo

the fact is pro-torture campaign led by dick cheney and so many others has just been led in order tovindicate themselves. there is absolutely no valuable literature that shows that torturing people gets the goods. in fact, many of the techniques that were used by the cia, so-called waterboarding and other techniques were he ctechniques that we adopted from russians and they use those techniques not to gain the truth but to try to use for political purposes to get false confessions for political purposes. now what does that tell you about torture? and there is a whole host of military personnel, particularly high-ranking generals who are furious about this. they know it degrades moral. it undermines discipline and is adverse fundamentally to the most conveyed american values. this goes bag to the magna carta and habeas corpus. the idea is that you don't inflict pain on people when you have them in your custody. and you certainly don't expect to get the truth when you do so. >> another theme that seems to pop up frequently in your work is the obsession with winning at all costs. you lo

more with the vice president dick cheney and his daughter liz.talking about. last night on this program we showed you the disrespectful way the president saluted a marine yesterday with his latte in his hand. and it's now since gone viral on the internet. colonel oliver north will be here tonight to, you know, basically describe what has been dubbed the latte salute straight ahead. i'm m-a-r-y and i have copd. i'm j-e-f-f and i have copd. i'm l-i-s-a and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way of hosting my book club. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a

i saw george bush being a puppet dick cheney. when we realized what happened chenen running k halliburton had his tankers right in iraq's waters waiting oil.the and i look at all of this being party about oil. and people are paying with it people like dick cheney. its's a shame this is going on. believe some charges -- this is one thing i see obama -- a republican?u caller: i'm a republican. ut i look at what i just saw about dick cheney, and i think -- i realized that all of about through him and his greed for oil. my party is gone too far. host: joel in texas. democratic caller. hey, joel. caller: i agree with that last guy. dick cheney, you should be him -- to run that video of him. he's a disgrace to this nation. done more damage to this country and to the world. hundreds of killed thousands of innocent women and children over in iraq. tv to say he's on somebody that we can stand and respect. give me a break. joel, the republican party invited him to speak to them behind closed doors. caller: the republican party -- their pro

the "wall street journal" journaled the real message of obama's speech should have been dick cheney was all along. seeing those words in print must melt whatever is in place of his heart. i'm going to say an egg timer duct taped to a sick bed. and, folks, and, folks, i gotta say-- ( cheers and applause ) huge, huge cheney fans here tonight. ( laughter ) and if dick cheney got it right, so did his little buddy-in-chief, who got it right before the surge in 2007. >> president bush issued this frighteningly accurate, as it turns out, assessment of what would happen. >> we begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for iraq, for the region, and for the united states. it would mean surrendering the future of al-- of iraq to al qaeda. it would mean that we'd be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean increasing the probability that american troops would have to return at some lateridate dateto confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. >> how eerie. >> stephen: yes. how eerie. it's like he's some kind of prophet. what's that guy's name

dick cheney is more responsible than anyone else. the worst foreign policy decision in the history of the country, the invasion of iraq. almost 6000 dead americans. tens of thousands wounded, thousands and thousands wounded. our fighting men and women made us proud. but mr. president, was that where necessary? in hindsight, it appears to me it really wasn't. not only have we lost thousands of americans, we've destabilized a whole middle east and hundreds of thousands -- hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of iraqis have been killed. they are now dead. but mr. president, there is some pushing hard here in congress. right now. dick cheney was here yesterday. i guess that is too they are following. mr. president, wouldn't it be a good idea for us to stand back a little bit and see what the president of the united states has to say tonight. he's addressing the nation. let's allow him to speak to our country, to our fellow citizens that lay out his plan. it is absolutely critical that the american people an

one way to start undoing the damage would be to concede that dick cheney was right all along. idn't have a foreign policy strategy. he had a thirst for oil. >> simply stated, there is no doubt that saddam hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. >> he has been seeking to acquire and we have been able to intercept and prevent him from acquiring through this particular channel, the kinds of tubes that are necessary to build a cent riff yuj. >> there's no doubt he's amassing them to use against our friends, our allies and against us. >> do you think the american people are prepared for a long, costly and bloody battle with a significant american casualties? >> i don't think it's likely to unfold that way. >> oops. none of those showed up on the editorial board page. cheney put americans in danger under false pretense. can't get around it. if "the wall street journal" thinks hiding behind an editorial board can hide the facts, they can keep pretending. ahhh-ahhhhhh aflac! and reach, toes blossoming... not that great at yoga. yeah, but when i slipped a disk he paid my claim in j

dick cheney has come back from hiding. they're back because here is their chance to escalate. their answer to every problem is escalate. more firepower, more attacks, more arabs dead on international television. somehow out of that will be an end to that. one thing we know how to do is escalate. we know how to escalate in kuwait and saddam hussein. we know how to escalate that. it led to al qaeda. from 9/11 we go, we can escalate that. don't go back just to get al qaeda. let's go into iraq. that will escalate it further. now we're going into syria. do we really think a bombing campaign of isis isn't exactly what they wanted us to do when they started beheading our people? that's what they want. they draw us into more warfare. this is tricky because even though i can analyze it sitting here, it's easy to do what i'm doing, the hard thing is for the president to analyze it and also deal with the tremendous, visceral, gut reaction of americans to the sight of americans being beheaded which we declared in our polling to be the biggest news story in five years. certainly, he's reac

one of the things that made the post 9/11 theories of dick cheney and george bush so extremist is there is no more limitless power that a president han the power he can exercise during a theater of war. on a battlefield, there really is no law. everybody acknowledges that. terrorist say when men take up arms, law false. more is the ultimate expression of lawlessness in limitless powerful stuff on the battlefield, people shoot each other without having trials or due process. everyone agrees that is war to nobody thinks soldiers have to give opposing soldiers a trial before shooting them. that is what war is. what made these post-9/11 theories so radical is the assertion was made for the first time theaters of war were no longer confined to find a physical faces, the battlefield. it was now the case the entire planet was the battlefield. including u.s. soil. therefore, the limitless power that the president can exercise on a battlefield are now no longer confined to physical spaces. essentially the president is omnipotent everywhere because that is where the battlefield is found. what you

this morning, though, former president dick cheney will speak on the current and future state of u.s. foreign policy, and then this . >> well, we certainly know it has been on the table. we have been very opened and two weeks ago i acknowledged we didn't get this right. that's my responsibility. i'm accountable for that. >> oh boy. >> okay. >> that was a painful, painful interview. >> it's really disturbing when they realized there was all that tape out there. >> the thing i

it's the notes of his meeting with dick cheney. why? because baker is going to be chief of staff. cheney was the chief of staff to gerald ford said he wants to get some pointers from this kind and one of the things that cheney says -- let's see, i can't read his writing anymore. presidency, basically the point is the president standing has been weakened in recent years. restore power and authority to the executive branch needs strong leadership. that is a quote from cheney. then in the margins, baker has six stars next to that and says the central theme in the presidency. so, we see that cheney has had certain pieces of that for quite a long time. he carries the use views into the iran contra. he's a member of the house republican investigating committee. he feels a little bit insulted by the way because of the senator in a way on the senate side has seen fit to name warren as the vice-chairman of the caddy. vice chairman of the committee. lee hamilton by all accounts offer it refuses to name him the vice chair. it sets off a kind of running conflict. throughout the conflicts, he m

dick cheney was here yesterday. i guess that's who they're following. but, mr.president, wouldn't it be a good idea for us to stand back a little bit and see what the president of the united states has to say tonight? he's addressing the nation. let's allow him to speak to our country, to our fellow citizens, and lay out his plan. it's absolutely critical that the american people and congress hear directly from the president of the united states. here in the senate, we're going to have an all-senators briefing tomorrow afternoon. the administration will come to one of our classified rooms here in the capitol complex and lay out to us in detail what's going on that's not in the news. so every member of this body will have a chance to get as much information as possible. the president speaks tonight. tomorrow afternoon there is a briefing. mr. president, it's clear -- the president has said so publicly, his officials has said so publicly, different officials that work with the white house -- he is doing his utmost ... he has just returned from europe. much of what

hank george bush and dick cheney for this mess. this dark rabbit hole we are going down. oh yea. condoleezza rice, to. re would be a mushroom cloud. they have everyone scared to this day. they do not have a navy, of course we can go get them. re-arm and cross into syria. we can have the war in syria that we wanted. host: after the house vote yesterday, they had a congressional picnic. they made a few comments about the vote. [video clip] >> i want to start out by saying thank you to the house members, republican and democrat, who came together today to pass an important component on our st rategy for dealing with this terrible terrorist organization known as isil. i want to, in particular, thanks speaker boehner and nancy pelosi for showing us, that when it comes to america's national security, america is united. i very much appreciate all of you. [applause] and the efforts they made their. host: pierce, democrat from new mexico -- say i supported the amendment to support the problem that isis represents. a couple more calls -- jim, democrats line. caller: hello? yes. i have two

itwell, not really, except is a hubris matter to take dick cheney seriously.s one of the architects of the 2003 invasion of iraq which basically broke the state up completely and provided the opportunity for iraqi society, which had never really had any kind of al qaeda group can't incubate al qaeda. it is odd for him to give a device. on the other hand, what he is saying is similar to what mr. obama is saying. he is the more specific. i don't know intelligence he is reading, but it is amazing to her some of talk about the islamic state having command and control centers, supply routes. i don't think he knows what he is talking about. this is not a group functioning in the way that he imagines. this is a very different kind of insurgency, much more fragmented. i'm not sure it is going to be so easy to find targets from up on high without people on the ground. >> ambassador galbraith, the subtitle of your book is "or without end." are we looking at a war without end." >> yes. strategyresident obama may be able to degrade the islamic state, but there isn't a pro

. >> don't look now, but the house members are meeting tomorrow with dick cheney. i mean, we're already hearing rhetoric from some of the right that sounds like an echo of the bush-cheney era on foreign policy. what are we going to hear now? listen to this. >> isis says they want to go back and reject modernity, well, i think we should help them. we ought to bomb them back to the stone age. >> after being counselled by dick cheney tomorrow, what are we going to hear? >> you can make sound bites of neanderthal right wingers saying we should bomb every imaginable government back to the stone age. colonel jacobs, it's incredibly irresponsible and dick cheney is the last person anybody should be listening to on iraq or syria. >> i'm going to have to leave it there. thank you for your time tonight. >> welcome. >>> coming up, key developments in the michael brown investigation. two new witnesses come forward. what did they see? and how might it affect the grand jury? that's next. means keeping seven billion ctransactions flowing.g, and when weather hits, it's data mayhem

an earlier version of a summary of this article misstated the former title of dick cheney. president. ha! now you tell us! mr. cheney also gave us a very cheney-esque pre-buttal to president obama's speech this morning at the american enterprise institute. >> our president must understand we are at war and that we must do what it takes for as long as it takes to win. >> free advice for president obama there. we're now just a few minutes away from the president's live primetime address to the nation. our coverage continues here in just a moment. please stay with us. when you told me about this "candy crush" game at first i thought "so what?", but now i can't stop playing. that's not how it works. i mean it's so simple. it's like my car insurance. i saved 15% in fifteen minutes. well esurance could have saved you money in half that time. three in a row! sweet! 15 minutes for a quote isn't so sweet. level 2! start with a quote from esurance and you could save money on car insurance in half the time. welcome to the modern world. esurance, backed by allstate. click or call. tlik

. >> i think they better be very caringful with advice they take from dick cheney. dick cheney is more responsible than anyone else for the worst foreign policy decision in the history of the country -- the invasion of iraq. >> former vice president dick cheney and harry reid, i don't think they'll be having lunch any time soon. these comments coming just hours before president obama lays out his strategy for what he hopes had been to degrade and defeat isis. administration and congressional sources tell cnn that the president is asking congress for authority, specific authority, though, to arm and train moderate syrian opposition to fight isis. >> congressman gregory meeks joins us now. he is a senior member of the house foreign affairs committee. thank you so much for joining us, sir. >> good being with you. >> a democratic source tells us the president had been seeking the authority for some time. a few questions for you -- will there be a vote in do you support it? do you think it will pass? >> well, i think that the president has the authority to do the air str

dick cheney was right. there were. this colossal misreading of the war in iraq that had ominous consequences. if you want to understand why terrorists greuel iraq today at least it is the democrats defection from the war in iraq and their tenure campaign to force america's retreat from the war on terror. consider the consequences of the democrats campaign because they divided the country and said half of it against the war. american could not follow in to syria. where do you think a side got those chemical weapons? [applause] because of america's impotence syria became a culture of terrorism and iran stayed unpunished for itt's that killed and maimed the majority of american casualties. perhaps we could have won the war on terror than when it was manageable if the democrats had been on our side. what the republicans silence did in the face of the democrats the trial was to allow the democrats to turn that the trail into a patriotic act. to stigmatize republican support for unnecessary war and i'm patriotic war maunderi

frankly, if you fast forward to more current time period, when you think of dick cheney's remarks about the dark side, they come from the same kind of thinking and conceptualization that we saw from the doolittle committee. when kennedy came in to office, he had none of the experience, of course, that eisenhower had. he was somewhat uncertain about the plans that were given to him for cuba that included the bay of pigs. but he did call eisenhower at the farm and instead of eisenhower saying or giving a sense of all of the qualms and hesitations he had about the bay of pigs, unfortunately, he advised kennedy that when you have an exile force you're training if you don't put them to use they're eventually going to go home and talk about an operation that never took place and the united states could be embarrassed ultimately by this. kennedy went ahead with the bay of pigs even though he had been misled by some of the briefings he got from cia that there were people around him including former secretary of state atchson and schlessinger and others and as we all know this ñ called in the ig

. >> brit, this is not about rehabilitating george bush or dick cheney or the administration, this is a much bigger debate about what is the best course to protect america. and there's been a robust debate about that among the left and right and beyond. it doesn't clearly fall along partisan lines in this country. and the debate has been in broad brush terms whether we need to go fight the terrorists where they are and stop them wherever they are, or whether we can be a little bit more noninterventionalist and pull back from the world stage as president obama has done. dick cheney, who obviously is in the former camp, made remarks today and was very critical, as you might imagine, of barack obama speaking to how this just undercuts his world view. hopefully we have the sound bite. this is the first one. let's play it. >> he has demonstrated his own distrust for american power as a force for good in the world. five years ago this month he put it this way to the united nations, "no world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed." this one sample from a

the interesting part, throughout the evening, it is so good to hear dick cheney charlesd krauthammereralking about the exact same things we talked about. >> they love the five. >> well, not about the five, but when you're one of the first two and have to talk about what works it is tough being the same thing and laying it out. it is nice to have other people -- >> i agree with you. it is tough to do that. i think there were also other people saying things positive about that speech. you know, that is -- i accept that. >> okay, let's shift over. the state department, kimberly, tweeting photos of dead jihadis to discourage other people from joining, years ago they believed this would be used as propaganda. let's roll it. >> it is important for us to make sure that very graphic in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence, as a propaganda tool. >> so now, what was once a propaganda tool is now our propaganda tool. is that hypocritical or just evolved thinking? >> that is a tough choice to make. >> i'm glad -- >> i'm glad that he is doing it. i mean, let's st

today "the new york times" had to issue a correction after it mistakenly referred to dick cheney as aause ] very easy mistake to make. some slightly upsetting news. a federal investigation has found the department of homeland security is ill prepared -- they are ill prepared for a potential disease pandemic. and i'm not sure i agree. they did a great job of completely wiping out beaver fever. [ laughter ] there's been like no cases, no reported cases of bieber fever. [ cheers and applause ] i can -- i'm willing to admit that i said beaver fever. [ laughter ] i know you're all saying, "did he know that he said beaver fever instead of bieber fever?" and i did. i know i did. and i'm willing to admit that, which i think means i'm coming down with a case of beiber fever. [ laughter ] that's probably why -- my inability to say that is probably why i could never get into his music. [ light laughter ] are you guys excited about the new apple watch? [ cheers and applause ] it's exciting. apple's new smart watch will provide walking directions through apple maps and will vibrate to let wearers

. >> today vice president dick cheney criticized the president even before hearing the speech. sten to what mr. cheney had to say. >> there is a connection between these problems, between a disengaged president and some very volatile situations abroad. after five and a half years of an administration sending regular messages of retreat, withdrawal, and indifference, we have lost credibility in the trusted allies that we need to win this war. >> what is your response to that? >> this man, dick cheney, led us into the worst foreign policy disaster in my memory. he didn't know what he was doing. he said we were going to go into iraq. we would be out of there in six months. we would have the oil, we would make money, and i could go on chapter and verse but honestly, i don't want to go back to those days. but he needs to go away. and if he does come out, he needs to support our president. to say this president is disengaged because he is taking his time to put together a winning strategy here, and learn from the past mistakes of putting americans in the middle of a civil war? please.

eric: was vice president dick cheney right? the "wall street journal" going back to his words as the president trials to shift his strategy. >> i hope what he won't do is what he has been accustomed to doing with which is detailing all the things he won't do. which unnecessarily tells the enemy too much about your plans and also diminishes the sense of commitment he may be wanting to communicate. martha: the president's address on his strategy to fight isis ... the "wall street journal" publishing a stinging op-ed. he says one way to undo the damage is to admit cheney was right all along. president bush warned leaving iraq in a weak way do could be perilous to the united states. >> to begin with drawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for iraq, for the region and for the united states. it would mean surrendering the future of iraq to al qaeda. it would mean we would be risking mass killing on a horrific scale. it would mean we would allow the terrorists to establish a safe highen in iraq to replace

so, look i have a hard time listening to dick cheney lecture people how to run a war. that, i'm sorry, they didn't do a good job. i'm not going back everything at the beginning could have been done differently except for the fact we shouldn't have gone into iraq first place. that doesn't mean president obama is doing a great job. i think it is right. he is not listening to the advice. i don't know that he is getting any food advice. this whole syria -- >> getting good advice from the men and women he put in these positions? >> i have not yet heard a coherent strategy from anybody who is saying we should be in syria. i hear people saying we should be in syria. if there is no coherent strategy, to your point, what is the plan here? what is the plan? >> i agree with you, kirsten. >> that is not a plan. >> it is a horrible plan. many of us said that from the beginning. >> these are not friends. i don't care what your vetting process. if you're not fighting assad, you are against us. we will fight with al-nusra front and fight assad together. you know what? isis offering mo

roosevelts. 80 years ago we had nothing to fear but fear itself will you guys were on vacation we had a dick cheney interview and the interview was does we have to double down on our fear. there are more people. that we need to be afraid of their more people that want to hurt us even on our own time. another marker which where society has gone. another little marker 2 weeks ago there was a vote in the un i think was 182-2. the 2 people were united states and israel. being an honest broker again i don't think so. next item let's go to housing with a little bit of time. this rice started last time. there were 2000 units that wanted to go from rent control to tenants in common. i have a way of making it happen when it goes off-line. you start with a person ab878 years onto the property 44 and the rank equals [inaudible] you go to the next person, 60 years of age owns the property for 40. the reason i like this ranking is because the people that own the property and part of san francisco the longest get rewarded and can go in going to tenants and common. they have the option. will continue another time

and you have senate majority leader harry reid today saying that critics of the president like dick cheney should not be out there today attackings his strategy before they hear it but what cheney is saying, look, he's seen the president wait too long because we've known about this isis threat for months and he should have laid this out sooner. listen. >> so often president obama responds to crises by announcing all the things he will not do and here again, we can only hope that pattern ends tonight. too often threats and aggression have been met with stern declarations of inaction by the united states, supported by lengthy explanations of our inability to shape events. >> now what we've been hearing from obama administration officials is that they believe the last administration focused too much on the military aspect of this. the president now wants to focus on diplomacy and other aspects that he'll talk about tonight such as the coalition you mentioned that secretary of state kerry is in the middle east trying to build. important that you noted the goal is to have 40 countries on board.

today "the new york times" had to issue a correction after it mistakenly referred to dick cheney as apresident. [ laughter ] of course, george w. bush made that same mistake all the time. [ laughter ] so to be fair to "the new york times," it's an easy mistake to make. [ applause ] very easy mistake to make. some slightly upsetting news. a federal investigation has found the department of homeland security is ill prepared -- they are ill prepared for a potential disease pandemic. and i'm not sure i agree. they did a great job of completely wiping out beaver fever. [ laughter ] there's been like no cases, no reported cases of bieber fever. [ cheers and applause ] i can -- i'm willing to admit that i said beaver fever. [ laughter ] i know you're all saying, "did he know that he said beaver fever instead of bieber fever?" and i did. i know i did. and i'm willing to admit that, which i think means i'm coming down with a case of beiber fever. [ laughter ] that's probably why -- my inability to say that is probably why i could never get into his music. [ light laughter ] are you guys excite

but i think they realize, you know, some republicans, senator mccain among them, dick cheney have criticized not going far enough, they question his strategy and there are some legitimate questions to be asked. but i think speaker boehner and senator mcconnell know perfectly well that president obama's gone about as far as americans want to go. americans are willing to go, majorities are willing to go with forces on the ground but they don't want another war in iraq with full combat engagement by americans, so i think they're reading the same polls as the president is and the rest of us are. i think there is going to be some reluctance on the democratic side. i think there are democrats who oppose the iraq war, who have some real questions about how much we want to get re-engaged in iraq. nonetheless, i took that as a hopeful sign maybe we can start rebuilding the foreign policy consensus we had before the iraq war. >> e.j. dionne, thank you for your time this evening. have a great weekend. >> good to be with you, reverend. >>> coming up, a rare joint appearance from two presidents who are t

i specifically said "no" dick cheney clips!e have a tarantino america that cleanses through slow motion blood bath or nothing. last night barack obama broke out his i kill bin laden strut to deliver the verdict! >> first, we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. if you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. our objective is clear. we will degrade and ultimately destroy i.s.i.l. >> jon: we have our answer.
