it did not take hindsight to see the problem.ely, trying to one point capture fallujah among other things but there was not enough critical support to do the tough things you thought the military needed to do, is that right? ,en. mattis: we had a troop cap so we did not have enough troops. for an areasible about the size of north carolina and i had about 15,000, 16,000 troops to try and control it. if you do the math on the geography, you see the problem. then we had four contractors that were misguided. they drove into fallujah without checking with marines in the area. these guys unfortunately drove into town, into the heart of town, and they were murdered by some of the tribes, the terrorists. their bodies were desecrated and it was not pretty. we were ordered to go in. i said i have a better idea. a coupleold no, after of days you will assault the city. we had to move the innocent people out and then go after the terrorists and i did not have many troops to throw into the attack. i said ok, we will do it, but don't stop me no

it did not take hindsight to see the problem.: ultimately, when the insurgency occurred, you were trying to at one point capture fallujah, among other things, but you found there was not enough political support to go and do the tough things you thought the military needed to do, is that right? gen. mattis: well, we had a troop cap put on us, so we did not have enough troops. for example, i was responsible for an area about the size of north carolina, and i had about 15,000, 16,000 troops to try to control it. just do the math on the geography, you can see the problem. then we had four contractors who were misguided. they drove into fallujah without checking in with the marines who were in the area. and these guys, unfortunately, drove into town, right into the heart of town, and they were murdered by some of the tribes there, by the terrorists. their bodies were desecrated and it was not pretty. we were ordered to go in. i said, i have got a better idea. we were told no, after a couple of days you will assault the city. so we ha

, some and you will know some people say, that isjust hindsight, some people will say now is not they to that? simply, now is the time. the time was... you know, if you had said that a few weeks ago, when it was not a case of hindsight, it was clear what was happening elsewhere in italy, and the italian medics and scientists were pleading with us to do something, they could not believe we we re do something, they could not believe we were doing nothing and talking about taking it on the chin and herd immunity and all of those things, and we didn‘t, we had a different policy then. you know, so then was the time for speaking up and public pressure arguably did shift the government position and now is the time for speaking up constructively for effective lockdown and for a set of strategies for us to begin to be able to look at what relaxing lockdown might look like in the future. in the meantime, my personal opinion is, anyone who has been by near a&e, rhys us and the covid award will know that we should be locking down harder now and that is what they are doing in other countries come

in hindsight, we were bound to innocent a negative reaction. especially because her message went far beyond the call of the cleanup of gage park. his old-school baptist he said. he was determined to represent the scriptural position on homosexuality. he looked immediately into the attacks on the k community and the cycle blaming them for the aids epidemic that they deserve the death penalty. and published many letters including one signed by one of my hands comparing united states to sodom and gomorrah. cities destroyed by god because of the sin regarding homosexuality. she declared aids to be a disease for which the homosexual the, holding holy and insisted that the blood of aids victims should be mentioned on those guilty of introducing an briefly's spreading the disease, the homosexual. even during the era with disapproval of the lgbt people were more common, it took only four start sentences for my intimate claims enough to outrage most readers. i find managed to do with the economy. militant gate spread aids. gays are worthy of death print

you made mention about hindsight and 20/20. i was in discussion with a friend of mine who is a vietnam veteran, and he made light of the fact that during the fdr thenistration, they sent japanese to the internment camps, and during the eisenhower administration, they put mexicans in camps. i said that to say this, there were over 200 15 direct flights that came out of -- 225 flights that came out of wuhan, china, and i read that in an article today, and we as a nation would have had to take some draconian measures to stop this thing coming out of china. and i think the american public with have thought it to be cruel and inhumane treatment. what is your thought about that? guest: well, i think you saw an example of the contain an isolation with the ships. obviously what we should have done with those airplanes is those people coming out of them should have been contained, isolated until they got tested before they were released. action report and the follow-on investigation, which we should have, like we did with the post 9/11

in hindsight i have learned a little bit about psychology since i left. [laughter] its way our brains compartmentalize the information. they're both from the bible so it was unreal. >> my sister and i stayed in the home of my wonderful friend who was both of our high school english teacher who was really wonderful they let us stay in their basement the first night he would hurt me if i told you not to follow him on twitter. [laughter] but he stayed up with us for a couple of hours per i thought he would leave us to our despair but he stayed up with us and that was so important to finally out loud more in our family what was happening in just the whole fact that her whole lives had been to figure out. he was absolutely wonderful. >> thank you so much for your talk it has been interesting and inspiring. what are some things you have done to make amends with the community from the past? >> of course financially contributing to different group groups. that feels important. i have spent a long time volunteering in these communities. the 12th month after i left

they are the hindquarters of hindsight.hey just can't stop. >> it's exactly the kind of chaos he's brought to bear on the prices from the beginning. greg: now that we have over 46000 americans dead because of it. >> the president is giving dangerous suggestions, including injecting a person with disinfectant. >> it took a colorblind, gender blind, state lines, virus to have all of the president sent from his first three years catch up. i wonder if you think about a silver lining there. greg: self the silver lining to 50000 dead is that it really hurt the guy i hate with every fiber of my thing. what a sad soul, to be so emotionally correct that she find a silver lining in mass death. what do i know? i'm just a guy who would do anything. what stinks, jonathan cap and mayor of new york? did you know he was shocked the inmate he released from jail over fears they would get sick, and is up reoffending? i know, surprised. i wonder what else shocked de blasio. big things are heavy? fire is hot? no one likes him? this tall drink o

the churchill archives in england, alan packwood, who i count as a friend, claim that it is near hindsight to assume -- it is mere hindsight to us you let the d-day overlord was the most important military operation of world war ii, upon which the success of the war against hitler's depended. i have to say, as a military historian, that is hornswaggle, or loyalist hogwash. i bow to no one in my admiration of churchill's lonely stand against hitler after the franco-british defeat in the summer of 1940, his finest hour. but if after pearl harbor in 1941, the direction of the war against hitler's is surely fdr's finest hour, as i hope my fdr trilogy can persuade you, as it has persuaded me. all through volume ii, commander-in-chief, churchill has done his best to argue vainly against a cross-channel lending, twice coming to the united states to argue personally with the president. war and peace reveals not only just how opposed to d-day churchill remained, but how the prime minister sent arguably treasonous messages, in the view of the american secretary, henry stimson, direct to stalin, with

this issue and the reason behind it and how we thought about it at the time and with the benefit of hindsight, i try to be honest in my own reassessment of did we get it right or did we not? the biggest issues are the announcement in july about our conclusion of the case and a very public way that departed from the president, and then of course the decision in october to notify congress about the reopening of the case because the e-mails on the laptop. i very much agreed with the decision to announce the case as we did in july. in rich roast that i think we probably got that wrong. i think we underestimated how it would be to convince people of just how good is an investigation we have done and how the conclusion was the independent and correct and fair result. i still believe all those things that we underestimated how deeply people would cling to the political perspectives rather than listening to us with an object if and i think that we were all overconfident and the abilitover confident in theabilt we had done a good job and i blame myself for that miscalculation. i go through a few parag

it was a nonissue but unfortunately it kept coming up. >> and yes now to see the benefit of hindsight. i believe the ig found you handled that initial recusal i didn't find anything with that in the way you handled it. i guess if you could go back in time if you had known that your wife's run for office with the virginia state legislature was going to happen and the republicans would weaponize that, would you have recuse yourself from hillary going forward? >> no. my decision about the recusal in the case which of course came very late. >> but if you were going to recuse yourself and then it just made it look bad. >> my own ethics officers have all agreed there was no reason to recuse from the clinton case which i was not involved in until three months after the campaign had failed and in the past. so no, i don't think i navigated that issue incorrectly and my position has been validated for those who have reviewed it and i think it's an important. >> are you angry at jim comey to make you recuse at the end? >> i disagree very strongly with his request i made that known he felt it was

there's not much you can do bout that in hindsight the states did testing. ron was doing a lot of testing, the individual states were doing. in cooperation with the federal government. but originally it was oh, 40,000 people came in. what they don't say what the news doesn't say is they happen to be american citizens. how do you keep american citizens? you say they're coming from china, want to come back to their country, there's a tremendous problem in china. they want to come back. are we supposed to say to an american citizen you can't come back into your country? individual states did testing or supposed to have. anybody else? reporter: more details on the executive order regarding the meat supply. the issue with processing plants closed down there are animals who can't be processed into meat for americans. president trump: probably today we'll have that -- it's a roadblock. it's a legal roadblock more than anything else. swreel that done today. you can speak to the chief in a little while if you'd like, they'll give you specifics. i don't know if yud li

we historians, of course, have the benefit of hindsight. and it's clear in hindsight that lincoln and his allies overestimated and exaggerated, grossly overestimated and exaggerated the extent of unionism among whites in the seceded states. to be sure, there were pockets of unionism in the mountain south, but when we get into the plantation districts, white southern unionists are hard to come by. confederates culture of fear. subject to arrest, imprisonment, con physical kagconfiscation, we confederates eager to meet it out were numerous. the robust and resilient southern nationalism in the seceded states reflected themes that gallagher and wahl told us about last night, deep investment, broad swath of southern whites in slavery as a system of economic profit and of racial control. but that robust southern nationalism also reflected the power of confederate propaganda, so let's turn to that for a moment. desire of republicans to make inroads in the south and they were determined to discredit and silence any yankee appeals to the southern ma

if he thinks he knows better than they do, with the benefit of hindsight, then that is his decision,nd it is not the way we will in the future. a hint of the arguments that usually take place here but a more muted tone. parliament has been forced to adapt to find a way for mps and peers to play their part in scrutinising government policy at this critical time. with huge decisions being made affecting all of our lives, the commons can now act as another powerfulforum for concerns to be raised. speaker: ian blackford. mps, like all of us, are adjusting to a new reality, that they may not all be here in person they will make sure their voices are still heard. leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. iain watson, there is a new leader of the opposition, let's start with your thoughts on his opening in pmqs stop a very different one from jeremy corbyn's. he was mentioning what embers of the public wanted to talk about but increasingly as the end of his time, he was getting into much more emotional language being directed at the government, i think partly because we are now in this virtual se

you know, in medicine, we oftentimes say, you know, hindsight is 20/20. everything, when you look backwards, always looks perfect. are there medical cases that i wish i had a do-over? believe me, there are. but the challenge in making the draconian recommendations for what we call nonpharmaceutical recommendations, physical distancing, closing schools, shutting down entertainment venues and so on, is a really difficult call. in retrospect it looks easy, and you can pin that to the calendar. but to actually make those pronouncements, particularly since communities were affected differently at different times, as we're now hearing with regards to the conversation prospectively going forward, how we might see ourselves out the other end, it was difficult, i think, for decisionmakers to make, you know, an all or none decision based on what we were seeing. >> we all are much smarter with hindsight. but bottom line, do you agree with dr. fauci that earlier action would have saved lives? >> you know, again, in the context of a perfect world, if i had done things

so the mayor did the right thing and in hindsight, i was wrong and she was right. and i was looking in charge of the tourism industry. i was looking at the tourism aspect of it, and not knowing what was to come in the weeks to follow that. >> yeah, well, it's totally understandable. so much of louisiana, the restaurants, the hotels, so much else depends on that tourism and that's probably completely dried up right now. i want to play something else for you, lieutenant governor. this is dr. fauci once again. he spoke to our jake tapper earlier today about the process of reopening the country based on the availability of testing. i want you to listen to this. >> it is not going to be a light switch that we say, okay, it is now june, july, whatever, click, the light switch goes back on. it's going to be depending where you are in the country, the nature of the outbreak that you've already experienced and the threat of an outbreak that you may not have experienced. >> the president, though, is seriously considering trying to reopen the u.s. economy on may 1st or so, 19

have not heard from the top civil servants, and he said that he did make an error that can actually hindsightt correct, and he unknowingly misled the committee. so it's all a little bit confusing, but you do have a strong denial of someone you do have a strong denial of someone taking back what they said. so that would suggest that matt hancock was saying what was the case in the conference, but it has been a rather bizarre walk around. daisy, would you make of the government's handling of the whole crisis, really? because they are under pressure, aren't they? with ppe, testing, ventilators, and a lot of criticism. you know, if and when there is a public inquiry, quite a lot of questions to be answered. there will definitely be a public inquiry and questions that need to be answered, but, of course, at the moment, nobody knows really whether the government is doing a good job ora the government is doing a good job or a bad job. we the government is doing a good job ora badjob. we can the government is doing a good job or a bad job. we can compare ourselves to other countries and we can compar

first of all, hindsight is great, but this is not the time for hindsight.ventually there will be a kind of review of everything that happened. the question is what do you do now. what i would urge is not to be overly hasty in lifting the restrictions in place. we want to make sure, now that we've absorbed some of the pain of these restrictions, that we keep them in place until we see a noticeable change in the way the community spreading is occurring. if we lift it to quickly we're going to run the risk of triggering a recurrence and that's actually going to be worse than what we have now. >> and if you want to read more about how to do this and how to reopen the economy and what steps should be taken next, you can read what the secretary wrote in "usa today." thank you so much, secretary, i appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. happy easter. >> you as well, happy easter to you. >>> some churches still holding in-person easter services despite the safety issues involved. we're going to go live to one kansas church which is holding services tonight in defian

in hindsight, is there anything you could have done differently?oy, i tell you i do not , think there was. we tried everything we could to get a buyer. lehman was a bigger problem than even bear stearns because they were insolvent. there was a big capital hole. there was no way that a loan was going to solve the problem. it would take capital or a loan guarantee. the thing about lehman as i look back, we tried very hard and came very close to getting a deal done with barclays. but as we look back on it, as bad as that was, that was not the worst outcome that was possible. the crisis had been grinding on for about a year. there were many weak financial institutions. we had three financial institutions going down the same week. lehman, merrill, and aig. it turns out we had one buyer. and bankamerica bought merrill. if they bought lehman, merrill would have failed and it would have been a bigger problem. the other thing i will say about lehman, as bad as it was, it accelerated the crisis, it was a symptom. it wasn't the cause. david: ultimately, legis

there's still a lot we need to learn and i think we'll learn quite a bit from hindsight but there are some pretty striking examples the countries that have been most. aggressive in their testing like south korea initially china as well but certainly within europe i would. take out germany as having had a much more extensive testing system put in place early on. we can see that those countries tend to have much flatter curves and less of the alarming day to day increases that we've seen in the in other places so starkly it seems there's a lesson to be learned that you know when you do that and you're able to isolate cases and cases that may have been infected by the ones that you for i identified is a good strategy right ok good talking to you thank you for that fair of foss from the university of washington. and finally one of the few things that consumes the soul in times of trouble is music especially if you can make it together which is not at all easy in these days of enforced social distancing but i don't as a the music director of adam's bait that's the only mosque youth choir i
