>> you know, the one that really surprised me, frankly, all the jim jones stuff, you have been hearing chatter about that for a long time. the most surprising thing was the apparent distrust between the secretary of defense gates i and jim jones' deputy, tom donelan, the fact that there is not a lot of trust there, because tom donelan is seen as somebody very trusted by the president, could be a replacement -- >> that one surprised me, tom donelan a great guy. you know, very quickly, chris, i do think that this book, you see the steve ratner book, people leaving the administration, boy, i think you are going to start seeing the next six months, you are going to hear a lot of anonymous quote, a lot more reporting about happened wringing inside the west wing because the distrust between staffers now. they see what somebody else said to woodward and they are going to feel like, you know what i will talk to reporters now. >> god, this is like the cherokee strip, isn't it? racing to get the first -- the first homestead out there. thank you, andrea mitch, thank you, chuck todd. >> you bet. >

we know that jim jones -- i've been reporting you've been reporting jim jones is going to be leaving rather sooner than later. and that stage don lynn can move to the national security post. the economic piece. larry summers. how do you replace larry summers? one theory you've been reporting and others are reporting is to bring in a female ceo, former ceo but we hear today from the former head of zeer ox that she's not interested. they did talk to her. >> reporter: yeah, look, the white house folks here it's true they do put a preference on somebody who comes with that business experience. they would like to check that box. if it could be a woman, i think they would like to check that box too. they lost christina romer, but i don't thing they are looking at those qualities to the exclusion of all others. it's something that is perhaps a plus factor, make somebody particularly attractive. i don't get the feeling it's -- without that person -- they have to have the qualities and it's a deal breaker. we'll see what they do there. >> one other point is the senate adjourned without confir

too many senior aides around the president, they're like water bugs, they flit around" so that's jim jones calling the political side water bugs. general petraeus calling david axelrod a "complete spin doctor." one wonders whether petraeus can be open in this book and not face the consequences that others have faced previously when generals in the military crossed the white house. >> yeah, i mean the one thing that helps general petraeus is the fact that david axelrod's position is a little bit vulnerable, one question people have asked in the past and will ask again in the context of bob woodward's book is why is david axelrod involved in the meetings in the first place? why does he have a relationship with david petraeus? he's a political person in charge of the president's message. it's not necessarily my position but some will say that. a couple of other examples you gave, jim jones you are exactly right there's not a lot of love loss between a lot of the people in the white house staff and general jones, not that they dislike him, but they feel as though he's been a little bit of a di

national security advisor jim jones reportedly calls president obama political aides alternative the water bugs, the mafia or the campaign set. top members of his own national security team are quoted saying that 30,000 troop surge was a mistake. the president coordinator calls it a gamble. ambassador richard holbrook says it can't work. but petraeus said i don't think you win this war. this is the kind of fight we're in for the rest of our lives and probably our kid' lives. the book reveals that the c.i.a. is running a 3,000-strong force to hunt top al-qaeda and taliban leaders but a senior military official says the group never yielded much. some comments undermine the diplomacy with cable, such as those -- kabul, such as those attributed to john ikenberry about hamid karzai who he describes as manic depressive. "he is on his meds, he's off his meds." the white house sounded pleased with the way the president comes across in the book saying he's portrayed as analytical, strategic and decisive, but still begging the question why did he authorize more troops to afghanistan and then o

this is the national security adviser, jim jones, talking about the staff. national security adviser james l. jones privately referred to the water bug, the mafia or the campaign set. i mean, he's a general. i'm sure the political guys are a pain in the you know what sometimes. why do people say these things? >> now we know why all those stories were leaked about jim jones -- >> by the way, people say he's going to leave after midterms probably too. >> he's a national treasure, too. four star marine general who by the way is very close friends with john mccain. agreed to serve a president of the opposite party. deserving of high, high honor. and so -- >> but what happened to the tightly disciplined no drama, no leak, no internal warfare white house? >> welcome to the white house. i mean, it's one thing to be able to control it in a campaign. but this is a much bigger broader apparatus. just from the excerpts in "the washington post" i don't mind -- i like the fact there was a little head knocking, a little fighting, over a war. these are thousands of brave a

the national security adviser, jim jones, cams the president's inner circle the water bugs, the mafia or the campaign set. general david petraeus tells aides david axelrod is a complete spin doctor. most of this infighting over the war plan for afghanistan. finally, the president blows up. november 25th, 2009, only days before announcing his decision, the military asks for 4,500 more troops. woodward writes the president erupts saying, i'm done doing this, we've all agreed to a plan and we're going to stick to that plan. i haven't agreed to anything beyond that. six days later, his big speech at west point. >> the review has allowed me to ask the hard questions and to explore all the different options. >> reporter: the next day, the president explains why he added a timetable to begin withdrawing, telling republican senator lindsey graham, i can't let this be a war without end, and i can't lose the whole democratic party. >> you really want to see this kind of conflict and disagreement. through history that usually makes the best strategy, especially in a war. >> reporter: but the boo

the top security adviser, jim jones, reportedly referred to his political aides as water bugs, the mafia, and the politburo. he says the cia has set up a 3,000-man paramilitary force, a secret force, that fights the taliban in afghanistan and pakistan. >> and, of course, all this comes as another top economic aide is set to leave the white house. we'll have more on the white house shakeup ahead. >>> also this morning it's been like a political flash point this year. we're talking about islam, with the proposed mosque near ground zero. so we begin an in-depth series looking at this religion in america and we kick that off in our next half hour. >> that is coming up. >>> we begin with the fallout over bob woodward's book, "obama's wars." jake tapper is at the white house. jake? >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right. the book is not even in stores. already, the white house is responding. a senior administration official says that in the book, the president comes across as analytical, strategic and decisive. and the official goes on to say that the infighting portrayed in the book

jim jones, all those people could have served in a moderate republican administration. i think he really does not want this to be a war without end so he found himsf boxedin by his campaign commitments and his legitieste dmaire to try to get the troops home. chris: he ended up in a middle of the road with biden who said get out quick and do counterterrorism and the military who said stay in a long time and do nation building. what do we have if we look at the woodward book,seems like he wasn't happy with either plan and wrote his own. what is that plan? >> president obama is a plan who sees the world as a complex place, not a place where issues are black and white but they're often gray. i happen to think there's a very good qualities for a resident to have. afghanistan is a complex place. e we'rnot going to, quote, win even if we stay 10 years and spend a trillion dlars. but complexities are nt esily explained on the campaign trail for the president in office. so it is a proem for a politician. if you believe in complexities, they're hard to explain. chris: the problem

and jim jones is expected to leave after the midterm elections. and the president's economic team has been decimated. national economic council director larry summer will leave after midterms. peter orszag has left. and so has chair christina romer. only treasury secretary tim geithner remains. plus, chief of staff, rahm emanuel, has made no secret that he's eyeing a new gig. >> one day, i would like to run for mayor of the city of chicago. that's been my aspiration, even when i was in the house of representatives. >> reporter: a senior official says also most importantly, when it comes to the policy of afghanistan and pakistan, the administration is confident they got the policy right, even with all of this description of infighting. >> the book describes a lot of doubts that the president and his team had about the policy. >>> diane sawyer and i will have the first interviews with bob woodward on monday and tuesday, on "world news," "nightline" and right here on "good morning america." >> we're looking forward to that. >>> from the white house,

national security advisor jim jones refers to political advisors like david axelrod as "the politburo" and "the mafia." >> i think the frustration that everybody's feeling that there's no easy winning formula in afghanistan is spreading in a negative way in the white house. people are sniping at each other, who's to blame, who's wrong? >> reporter: the strategy review that resulted in sending 30,000 more troops to afghanistan pitted a military which wanted more troops and more time against a commander-in-chief who wanted a speedy exit. general petraeus is quoted as calling it a war we're in for the rest of our lives and probably our kids' lives. while the president tells defense secretary gates and secretary of state clinton "i'm not doing ten years." frustrated with the pentagon's rad vice, the president turned to the continue country's most famous military figure, former joint chiefs chairman and secretary of state colin powell who told him "just because the generals are unanimous doesn't make them right." even after the 30,000 number was agreed upon, the pentagon came back for more

middle east peace arab israeli peace attempts the inexperience is glaring and as far as i'm concerned jim jones in the rest of them they bear a lot of response hillary clinton they bear a lot of responsibility for this this looks like amateur hour yeah well i think that's what a lot of people are saying as specially now this book has come out lawrence thank you so much for being here thanks for having me. still to come tonight the saintly google has once again decided what's best for us we'll tell you why they're censoring some words that you might be looking for after publicans blocks of outsourcing go through in the senate says right we're going to look at the outsourcing issue here in the u.s. and ask are sending jobs overseas that a bad thing or is it just a natural part of globalization why have a debate when we come back. the issue is that so much. a lot of people are curious the next of kin isolated and impoverished north korea is badly needed change all of this happening in a little. while the google or has spoken again and this time it's a weigh in on dirty words now everybody was buzz

when you read some of the you know the names that they were calling each other even have a general jim jones calling the people the campaigns that obama's political aides and to me that just shows the mindset which is these are the politicians they come and go but we're the military guys we're here to stay they're just the campaign set that's here right now but the other thing you know like i said is it sometimes sounds like a bunch of teenage boys in high school that are just trash talking each other which ok sounds like a little bit of a gossip maggie could say it's funny but it's not funny these guys have so much money and so many lives at their disposal so do we just say that this is normal or should this worry us. well i mean the first thing is that jones occupies sort of a strange position because he is a political figure now because he is the national security adviser and so he's not exactly in the same place as mullen or general petraeus doesn't tell you get back in there he's still a general right. right i think it may be retired but. thinking about it i think there's a fine line to

. >> we've talked about, we know some of the ones, the heaven's gate, jim jones, all those sorts of cults people become susceptible to these sorts of cults when there are other religious groups that aren't considered cults where they can join and have tran sen dent qualities but don't live up to being a cult. >> they usually get involved with some kacharismatic person, person who claims they have some contact with the divine, some special message. then, it plays into the psychological needs of people who may be depressed. who may be displaced. troubled over some personal matters. and then, as they support each other, they become involved in the beliefs of the group and once they do, they will comply with whatever the group leader feels is most important. and that could be positive, but it could also be negative. >> that's the thing i was going to ask you because if anyone is just dropping in on this conversation, it may just sound like you're talking about religion. often at the head of a church, you have a charismatic figure. it's usually positive to some extent. if i was just tuning in,

back in 1997, the case where 39 killed themselves and before conference town, jim conference -- jim jonesegan the group in northern california the bay area. >>shepard: and the letters read like a last will, leaving the deeds to the property. >>guest: that is why they put out the all point's bulletin. the husband of a woman who was missing said that he was fearful that his wife had been brain washed by the leader. that is why they were so concerned. and you look at the letters and everyone is ask, why leave behind letters say that we were "about to go to heaven," and we would "meet relatives," and another wanted to move to the next world. the group says they are preparing themselves for the rapture or the return of christ. they are not a cult. listen. >> can you see me? i am okay. my son. the dogs, everything is okay. we eat like you. we don't see nothing bad. we are okay. >>shepard: when they were found, this group said that "we are christians, we would never harm ourselves." >>shepard: thank you, trace from los angeles. and now, take it to the judge, our senior judicial analyst the host

and if you compare that both to jim jones and heaven's gate, it's people that are very determined that life after this life is going to be much better. so i would be concerned. >> well, why do you think it is so common that these groups end up committing mass suicide? >> because what they do, dan, is convince people that life here is just not any good anymore, that we've become inhumane or whatever the trick may be to convince people that life is not what it should be. and so as a result, we're going to move on. we're going to feel better. we'll be together in the afterlife and start over as this world, the material world, disintegrates. >> generally speaking, what kind of people are attracted to groups like this? >> well, it tends to be people who are sort of lost in life. they don't feel empowered. they don't feel like that anybody really cares for them, and these groups bring them in. they empower them. they make them part of the brotherhood, so they feel like they have a purpose in life, and you combine that with isolation and a charismatic-type leader, it can be a combination that

. >> well, we've talked about -- we know some of the ones, the heaven's gate, jim jones, all those sortse -- you wonder what makes people become susceptible to these sorts of cults when there are other groups or religious groups that aren't considered cults where they can join and that have transcendent qualities but don't quite live up to being a cult. >> they usually get involved with some charismatic person, some person that maintains that they have some contact with the -- with the divine, some special message, and then it plays into the psychological needs of people who may be depressed, who may be displaced, troubled over some personal matters, and then as they support each other they become involved in the beliefs of the group, and once they do, they will comply with whatever the group leader feels is most important, and that could be positive, but it could also be negative. >> mark galanter. what if a criminal past could become a thing of the past? >> it's giving people a fair shot to compete for jobs where they are qualified. >> some states are taking steps to remove criminal hi

poll takes times turning personal with national security adviser jim jones calling obama's aides, waterugs. i can think of better insults than that general david petraeus calling david axelrod a complete spin doctor. good fodder for the beltway gossip mill. what does it say about how this white house made and continues to make each day a life or death decision that affects thousands of u.s. men and women currently whose lives are at risk in afghanistan on behalf of this president? joining us to mix it up, "washington post" editorial writer jonathan cape part and editorial page editor for the washington examiner. obviously, mark tapscott, no more critical a decision the president will make than to put the soldiers of his or her country at risk. are you -- how do you view the most recent events? >> well, i think that is obviously the most important decision a president can make. and president obama came into office with that decision having been made for him by president bush. and face the question for himself and his administration, do we reverse it? he had all but said that he would rev

thing sort of deliberative process and perhaps some of the inner workings of, you know, general jim joneslose with the president but has also sparred with many people within the administration. sort of goes back to the shuffle. he potentially could be leaving in the next year. it's going to reveal a little bit of what's going on behind the scenes. more than likely it's not going to have a dramatic effect on how the american people view obama. the woodward book is about president bush certainly influenced debate. but didn't necessarily shift voters. >> okay. christina bellantoni, thank soechs. >>> the texas school board approved a controversial resolution which claims some textbook publishers favor islam over christianity. the resolution states a, quote, pro-islamic anti-christian bias has tainted past textbooks. in a 7-6 vote they voted the publishers should devote more time to christianity and asserts textbooks that favor one religion or another should be outright rejected. they only cite textbooks that nor longer in use. >>> a convenience store look in hartford, connecticut, pulled a fa

jim jones likely to leave his national security advisor. tom donnell is not going to be the chief of staff, even though he's talked about it. there's a lot that has to happen. in the short term, they're going to have pete rouse be the brains. >> you could have, i'm told, a many as half a dozen major retirements after this election. >> retirements from what? >> retirements from the senate, you have to take -- >> forced retirements. >> forced retirements. but someone like chris dodd, byron dorgen meeting. if chris jones leave, does tom donland go over there? >> there's a tough calculation. where the white house has made mistakes is they're too insular. the more ips lar than we were in the clinton days. go outside, pick somebody new. yet, this is a president that's going to make a choice. the republicans are going to gain seats. we know that. how many are they going to control? we don't know. he has to deal with a more conservative congress as he gears up. the chief of staff is the gate, the bridge between both worlds, dealing with the congres

white house staff if rahm emmanu emmanuel, chief of staff leaves, the national security advisor, jim jones, if he leaves, some of the top economic advisors have left. what does the president need right now to turn things around the next two years going to the presidential elections? >> well, wolf, i -- i just spent, as you did, some time in new york talking to the policy community and financial community and others. and if there's one thing people agree on, the president has a choice. that is, does he have continuity in his appointment or does he signal change? i think people are looking for change. you know, it's -- it's understandable he would want some people to carry out what he's done. it's understandable he would want to keep a lot of his inner circle. but i think people now are looking to bring in heavyweights from the outside to help him hit that reset button and revive his presidency. >> and, david, you know this. when you're two years into an administration, sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes to come in and say -- >> yes, i do. >> you've been doing this the right way, maybe y

we don't even need to mention jonestown, but remember jim jones was based near san francisco before moving could down to g. the leader, by the way, is undergoing a psychological evaluation, but the rest of the members are not being questioned. they haven't been charged with anything. megyn: maybe they're busy evaluating the dog which, apparently, is big evidence they're not part of a cult. according to that woman. >> reporter: apparently. [laughter] megyn: thanks, trace. less than a week since her big victory in if delaware, but nearly every political story in every paper on every web site is about christine o'donnell. up next, the inside story on why democrats and the mainstream media are so fixated on one political newcomer. and woody smith is accused of strangling his wife. he says, however, it wasn't his fault, that the soda and diet pills made him do it. a unique defense upcoming. >>> plus, it turns out -- shocker -- it was her purse, and it was also her little baggy of cocaine that fell out of it. so did paris hilton just get a free pass on a serious drug charge, and let's not forget

i'm fairly confident we have a security structure, many of the same security people like jim jones whoin the bush administration, gates of the bush administration who, i'm sure, are prepared for any contingency. they're not going to telegraph it, as you well put it, at the united nations. megyn: they're saying iran could have a nuke within the year, and from what i read, iran has barred the iaea inspectors from visiting the suspected sites. so what good is the u.n. nuclear watchdog? >> the inspectors in iraq before the iraq war were actually doing a very good job in getting weapons removed which is why we didn't find the wmds we would told -- megyn: what are you talking about iraq for? >> similarly in iran, look, i'm convinced and i feel quite secure that there were plans in place. they're not going to tell megyn kelly of fox news or little alan colmes who's got a radio show exactly what their plans are. let's not have fear mongering here, and let's accept the u.n. for what it is. he gave the right speech yesterday talking about olive branches and peace, but also talked about accountab

and, dismissive of president karzai and that is nothing compared to what national security advisor jim jonesmbers of obama's political team, referring to them as, quote, the water bugs, the poe lit bureau and mafia and dismissively as the campaign set, bill. bill: always has been a must-read book for politics in washington. thank you, the whole town is talking about it today, in moments fox news security analyst k. t. mcfcfarland is he, what does it mean for men and women overseas and, national securities and all that, to come, here in a few moments. martha: and looking forward to that. new video in fox, an explosion killed ten people and injured dozens more in a military parade in iran and comes as iran's president is in the u.s., in new york, for meeting at the u.n. and iran's state media reports many of the victims were women and children. in this bombing. these same reports also say a timer detonated a bomb placed near the parade route. one iranian official blamed the attack on kurdish separatists. bill: 6 minutes past the hour, senate republicans blocking a votes on repealing don't ask,

that of course is our communist revolutionary friend 9/11 truther van jones and then there is jim wallace the marxist preacher for the president and then you have sciu who is the former member of sds. who is also now under investigation by the fbi for-- i'm sorry, andy stern is under investigation with the fbi for corruption. then you have of course, the national council of la razza, la razza, what is la razza, translation, the race. then color of change, this is just another one of the communist van jones organizations. in fact, this is the first organization that boycotted this show. we have four, this guy's organization has also been boycotting the show. we have four organizations boycotting this program right now and van jones before he started this one, he got involved in this one. and i've asked you to read about storm. don't take my word the guy is a communist, read storm, a communist revolutionary group according to the manual says they brought experience in militant street tactics, revolutionary agitation and coalition building. oh coalition building like one nation working toget

south after initially surging on the better than expected reports on jobs and gdp the dow jones off by 57 points. jimmp is a senior vice president with macro portfolio advisers. how are investors interpreting the very weak growth with the gdp? >> melissa, when you look at how investors react, sometimes bad news is good news. bernanke talked about how the economy was running at a low inflation rate and we might need more stimulus, the recovery is very, very slow and additional stimulus is what wall street is looking for. it means that interest rates will be held low and so investors like that the economy is not picking up too much steam too quickly. in terms of people who are looking for jobs, people that are trying to sell their homes, this economic recovery is painfully slow. so for investors and for individuals, we're looking at two sets of data here. >> let's talk about the housing market. you've got great news on the mortgage front that mortgage rates will stay slow. if you're trying to buy a house, that's great news or if you're trying to finance, great news. the problem is try going in and gett

jones green for all. chicago democratic socialist of america. jim wallis' group sojourners. that's just a few.f these. then on october 30, jon stewart and stephen colbert are putting together a mock rally on the mall. again, i urge you to watch it and pay attention. i'm disappointed that they feel we have to mock honor. but whatever. again, i wish them success. on friday, i actually felt bad for stephen colbert. he was testifying before a house hearing on immigration on friday. and he was doing it in character. it was really in poor taste. but i don't necessarily think it was his fault. he participated, but this is a bad idea. nobody -- i haven't seen anybody report on this. do you know who it was that set this whole thing up? the united farm workers union. yes, again, the unions. orchestrating colbert's immigration worker experience, and the appearance before the committee. that's what happened. why is that left out that it's these people? the unions? it's special interest. and by the way, i do want you to see 10-2-10. i don't wish them any ill-will or any harm at all. i want you to see it. y

jones picks up a yard on the play. washington, very aggressive defensively on their new defensive coordinator jim haslett.andry is down in the backfield of the texans. he might just be totally exhausted. ian: he had 17 tackles last week. he's been all over the place here today for the redskins. third and nine for houston. he was having trouble with that left hand earlier. dan: makes you wonder what the target line is for graham gano or rather for neil rackers. here's landry. he's just tired, it seems. making plays in the secondary and rushing the passer. but you know, maybe they need 25, maybe 30 yards before kubiak is comfortable with giving rackers a long try. ian: coming up tonight, "60 minutes," "undercover boss" and "c.s.i.: miami." that's all here on cbs. landry appears to be ok. rackers never even got the opportunity to put on his helmet on the last possession. gary kubiak elected to trust his defense to stop washington. redskins have a 52-yard field goal attempt. gano connected on his first try. kubiak took a time-out and on the next attempt, he pushed it off to the right. third and 9 for matt sch

jim russell gets even weirder. so on weird that i tried sort of practicing today and found i was unable to read the next excerpt without losing my composure. i enlisted kent jones read it for us. >> it has been demonstrated that finches, raised by foster parents of a different species of finch, will later exhibit a life-long sexual attraction toward the alien species. one wonders how a child's sexual imprinting mechanism is affected by forcible racial integration and near continual exposure to media stimuli promoting interracial contact. >> yes, finches, the birds, and interracial contact. major party candidate for congress, ladies and gentlemen. mr. russell also talks about the culpability of media moguls who deliberately popularize miscegenation and to instill in their children an acceptance of appropriation of boundaries. have you instilled your children with appropriate boundaries today? >>> in a year of extreme politics where there are a lot of extreme us versus them stuff, hi, mr. gingrich, mr. russell may have figured out what it takes to claim the label of extreme this year. the westchester republican party says it's doing everything to get jim russell
