martha. what happened to her image in the 19th century. martha became the stereotypical victorian grandmother. and she, worse than that, people began to claim that she was ugly, that she was grouchy, that she was always nagging george, that she was stupid, that she was really a terrible, terrible old shrew and that george couldn't stand her. he only married her for money, but he sought solace in the arms of other women such as sally fairfax. well, none of these stories were true. now, it may well be that before george got married to martha that he had some episodes with other women. it may be that he had had a dalliance with sally before he got married to mar that. martha. but there's not one scrap of evidence that he was ever unfaithful to martha during their life. during their married life together. in fact, all the evidence shows to the contrary. first of all, that when they got married, yes, martha was wealthy, but she was also a beautiful young woman. a widow, but still a beautiful young

so how hard will that be, martha? >> well, when i looked back at what the mission is, and the president in 2009, and december, 2009, after a review, added those 30,000, eventually 33,000 troops in there. but he never really talked about counterinsurgency. his generals did. his commanders talked about counterinsurgency. counterinsurgency is when you protect the population, when you look at what jobs and everything else. it's really nation building. gwen: exactly. >> but the president really didn't talk about that. so i have always sort of looked at this as he's fighting one war, david petraeus was fighting a different kind of war. and what's happened now is the president has basically said we're not really doing that big counterinsurgency anymore. because you can't really have fewer troops and have the same strategy. so i think what they're going more toward is a counterterrorism model. go after targets just like they did with osama bin laden. so the president comes in with that happening in may. and that success, so h

martha raddatz has been following this closely. >> reporter: today, crowds rejoiced over news that thean who ruled this nation with an iron fist had finally left. a stunning departure. it comes after a rocket or mortar had hit the heavily fortified mosque inside the presidential grounds. the president, it was reported, had been badly injured. lies, the yemeni government countered. it was only a scratch. a television press conference was scheduled. hours passed and then only the president's voice. sounding muddled and sedated, it was clear it was the yemeni government doing the lying. badly hurt and in need of urgent care, president saleh was secretly flown to saudi arabia, and he will likely never return to power. what does he leave behind? the simple answer, a power vacuum. these protesters may want democracy, but it is tribal militias that are gaining ground here, and al qaeda is taking advantage of the chaos. why is what's happening so dangerous to the u.s.? this man, anwar awlaki, the world's most dangerous terrorist, american-born, he now lives in yemen. he trained the christmas d

martha, we know the top levels of the military are comfortable with somewhere around $5,000 to 10,000summer. the white house, capitol hill democrats they want a lot more. how is this going to play out? >> i think you'll see us going back to 2009 when the debate was about how do you fight this war? is counter insurgency the best strategy? as i said in the piece, it's very expensive. it takes a long time. just last november, general david petraeus said we're at the beginning of the time table for the successful counter insurgency, which is nine to ten years. the american public does not have the patience for these numbers. >> the vice president doesn't want that -- >> the national security adviser -- >> there's going to be a lot of pushback on this and a lot of debate. you have president barack obama who just decided to go in and kill osama bin laden, he is far more seasoned in the national security arena, so i think you can see a lot heavier pushback to the military. obviously, the military wants to stay. they want to see this through. they are there on the ground. they are losing budd
