now we seem to acsellcept the ruler who was just as bad as gadaffi and equally ty irancal as mubarakeem willing to accept his remaining there as a tyranical liter as long as he does not shoot his people on sight. >> yeah. i think that's not a bad summary and what's even worse is that i don't even degree with that as our goal because i don't see how we can do any better. our nation is tired of war we have 90,000 troops in afghanistan. president obama said he is not going to rush it. general allen when he was here two weeks ago for testimony underscored there will be no radical draw downtown this year. we still have iran in our hor eyesons and our radar scopes and a trillion dollar deficit. i don't think the country is willing to do what would truly be needed to unseat assad which, unfortunately, is something like the iraq operation. i don't think there is any guarantee. >> let me ask you, then: will that taint the rather affirmative story that president obama has been able to tell thus far about his foreign policy with bin laden gone with theoretically the afghan war coming to an end,

one, the attempt to take one of gadaffi's children to mexico. this implied a north american operation, because it was headed up by a canadian person, and this multinational operation would not have been of what it without the international security mechanisms that we did not have before, but now we have. also, being able to avoid the assassination of the saudi ambassador in washington would not have been possible without mechanisms of cooperation we have today. thinking about what happens in mexico does not have anything to do with the security of the citizens of this country or of any other citizen of north america is a mistake. are all tied to one another. now, security understood in the regional cents, in order to understand that, we have to understand where the greatest threat to security actually lies. the united states has a clear understanding of its security priorities, the threat of terrorism, of international terrorism, terrible attacks on the u.s. people, and another threat is in the power of transnational organized crime, which i ins
