the bush team once it took office, once george h.w. bush became president, when i'm speaking of bush i'm speaking about george h.w. bush was much more cautious. one of the biggest surprises in my research was just how much tension there was between the reagan team and bush team. political scientists who are not interested in this topic but work on presidential transitions used the reagan-bush transition as an example of a particularly vicious one. some scholars described it as bush fired everyone. in the internal sources i was surprised to see bush documents saying mush for brains reaganites. people who had begin into the wiles of gorbachev. phrases saying it's good that the adults are back in charge. you see a little attempt to return to a more traditional cold war stance. but dramatic events made it clear 1989 won't be a traditional cold war year. there is the massive popular protest in tiananmen square in 1989. we just had that anniversary. that enough was observed in china with silence. even those who commemorated it in their homes were

obama has differences from george h.w. bush and his predecessors -- that is they were still dealing with hard states, solid states. so much of what president obama is dealing with our states that have come unstuck. so, you are just required to lead them in the right direction. there is an element of having to build their coherence. that is where -- i think that why this is a defining moment is that we are basically seeing the in -- the end of the ottoman empire. this is a region that is a pluralistic region, that is made up of many different communities, sects, and tribes. it has been managed by the ottoman empire, british, french, kings and dictators. the pluralistic nature has been managed by the top down with iron fists. the situation we are in right now, no british and french, fewer and fewer kings and dictators. the region can no longer be been managed vertically from the top down. it can be managed horizontally by the constituent communities on how to structure their own social contract in a pluralistic way. that is a gre

george h.w. bush. expected to hit around 20 targets inside of syria.that the size of the operation you would anticipate at least on day one? >> well, look. this is never going to compare to what we did in kosovo, what we did in 2001 against the taliban government that was running the country and nor is it going to compare to what we did in 2003. there we had huge infrastructure and lots of targets. this has always been what we've described it at and what we wanted it, it's limited and specialized. so the number of targets are not comparable. the point is what those targets represent and destroying them is the most important thing. so the scale of it will be less than what we've seen in the past, but nonetheless it will be very important in terms of its consequences on the enemy. >> how long do you think this is going to take? i know that's a difficult question, general. but when you hear congressman king say this could be the beginning of a years long conflict, you know the feeling that evokes in so many people here in the states. >> i doubt if the air

many presidents, george h.w. bush in golf war 1 and george w. bush went to congress for pragmatic reason, that you at least get them on board. they're not going to stay on board. congressmen do blow with the wind a lot, especially when things turn bad. but essentially now, president obama is going to war without any real indication of support from congress. they'll give him the money he asks for. that's likely to be rolld into a continuing resolution or stand alone bill very soon. but having congress with you has pragmatic utility. >> in fairness, quickly, isn't there a big political situation at play? you've got mid terms in 50 days. nobody wants to be on record to support it. they want the president to go alone so it's off their happened. i wear may -- hands. >> probably depends on the state. mary landrieu might be able to say she supported a plan to take the fight to the ias so when gas prices go up, when they put iraq's oil in peril, she can say i did something. i think you have to look at state by state. >> christian whiten, thank you so mu

in 1991, president george h.w. bushthe oval office to announce the start of the war against iraq. in march 2003 also from the oval office the second president george bush announced the start of war again against iraq. in august 2010 it was president obama who spoke from the oval office when he declared the end of combat operations in iraq. that was probably the last primetime speech that president obama thought he would give about u.s. troops in iraq. he had just ended that war. tonight we've been told that the president's speech will not be about a new invasion of iraq, but we do expect him to talk about expanding military operations there and potentially also in syria. the president will not be giving this address tonight from the oval office. he's going to be giving us from the state room in the white house tonight. thinking ahead to what we're expecting tonight, we've been talking a lot about whether the president will engage with congress, whether that political process will start in washington. there's no reason t
