interesting footnote in history is that secretary mcnamara in his confirmation hearing was never askedrd about the -- dick cheney in his hearing for second tea of defense was never asked a word about iraq. yet the iraq war -- i was never asked about afghanistan or al-qaeda in my confirmation hearing. so, it suggests that the -- a president and his cabinet are faced with the way the world works and they have to live with that. you are right, president bush i'm sure came in thinking he would be focused on domestic issues. >> greta: you mentioned vice president cheney there's been a lot in the news about his book and the spat between him and colin powell. there's tension before defense and state for decades. what do you make of that between those two? >> of course, i read about half his book so far. he had a close relationship with colin powell. when they were in the pentagon in the george herbert walker bush days. i've not gotten to the last portion of the vice president's book yet, i'm looking forward to reading it. s , other than there are in a national security council, as you point o
