kevin corke is reporting live from pinoy. what is he planning to do in response to the family? >> reporter: i'm glad you said that, harris. this is a huge issue. it will not be going away anytime soon. keep in mind, there are still more than 1600 americans that remain unaccounted for since the end of the vietnam war. now the white house will tell you and they've told us privately and even publicly that this will remain a major dialogue point between the two governments because they feel like more cooperation could answer the important questions of what happened to more than a thousand americans and their remain since the end of the vietnam war and like president bush and before him, hope they can move forward on the issue. the mipaw flying over the white house and this is obviously a major issue. some would say it may even overshadow the effort to expand trade and security cooperation and the push for more arm sales to vietnam, harris, we'll be watching that conversation carefully. >> that's what i want to talk about now. why is the obama administration trying to sell more weap

jo ling: fox news's kevin corke did ask press secretary josh earnest if any members of the administrationernest reflying an emphatic -- replying an emphatic no. so is ben rhodes complicit in this issue? >> no, he lied. i'm sure you read the "new york times" magazine piece. he boasted about putting one over on the american people, and boasted about setting up that false choice between war or a nuke deal. and by the way, the journal that did that never got around to asking about putin or libya. so what emerged was a picture of a white house that as some of the sources said, just refuses to learn. it's ideologically based. they made up their minds before they get the expert briefing. and i have said on fox many times, what stuns me about this administration isn't that it came into the office naive. but that it never learned. even jimmy carter learned. but obama refuses to learn and ben rhodes was proud of that. he would have done just fine work for joe stalin. jo ling: certainly major disagreements in policy from what you sit versus where the white house sits. i wonder how this affects the m
