mr. cheney who was my boss and president bush that we cut 25% and we did. everything was going so we cut 25%. i don't know if that level of cuts is in the cards. i don't think we can make that kind of cut but the pentagon should be like any other government department analyzing to see what we don't really need. there are a lot of hardware programs that are going to be challenged and if the sequestration is anywhere close to being implemented the pentagon will have to make further reductions. we should not spend $1 more on military spending than we need to. we should not spend $1 less. we need the right balance. i have confidence in generals and admirals who understand the real strength in the country is from an economy that is working well. it is always argued and we can't agree with that defense spending is at the expense of domestic spending. we ought to spend what we can on domestic programs as well. the things that broke the soviet union is they couldn't do both. we can do both so constrained defense spending is that which is absolutely needed and told

joining me is steven yates former deputy assistant to vice president dick cheney. mr. it's a pleasure four speak to you. have diplomatic efforts by the united states and other nations been in your judgment an abject failure and does the obama administration have no real viable strategy? >> at this point i have to say that every tool kit in the establishment of the toolbox has been tried. they have gone through the u.n. assad mission has made things worse. president sat down with putin at g-8 summit and seemed to get stiffed and there was a similar time frame of a russian shipment. so a year and a half later there is no really strategy. >> gregg: is there a way to force assad into exile or is he convince he had can win militarily so he has no intention of giving in? >> i expect it's more on the latter lines even if he feels the tide turns against him, if he looks around the region, every similarly situated dictatorser that has stepped down is dead or near dead. it's a one-way ticket or fatalistic out come he would to accept an offer like that. >> gregg: what about armin

americans believe that if george bush and dick cheney had conducted the war like that, the american left would have gone nuts there is largely silence from liberals on mry. charles krauthammer wrote a syndicated column on this subject. not only the united states but around the world you don't hear bush cowboy and doing all this stuff and unilateral the drone program is unilateral and the guy deciding is president obama. nobody else. so, the silence is deafening all over the world. >> and it's across the boorld. it's just about on every comparable issue. think of guantanamo. for years denial upending all that america holds dear. obama himself opposed it, railed against it. when he was president he went around the world on his first apology tour think talking about what a stain it was. you hear nothing. remember the patriot act eavesdropping wiretaps. preventative detention. indefinite detention. rendition of prisoners. all of these were the bush administration tearing up the constitution. every single one is still in place. do you hear a word from the left? the worst is just the afghan war itself. think about this. obama triples the number of troops. he

mr. speaker, that's what he is talking about. at that particular time when this plane was up and going to arizona, they were cutting programs to test the plane. you had secretary of defense dick cheney trying to kill the program. they did everything they could. i don't blame the marine corps for trying to save the program. they believed this was the helicopter of the future. but he further stated, the action of the lead aircraft in this section, and lack of understanding in how vortex reinstate and pilot settling would affect the osprey in the real world was part of the problem. i do not feel that our investigation reflects that a mishap was a result of pilot error and if the investigation was interpreted that way, it was misinterpreted. this is one of the three investigators that wrote about the same letter and phil stackhouse closed by saying this, major stackhouse said this , for any record that reflects the mishap was the result of pilot error, it should be corrected for any publication that reflects that the mishap was the result of a pilot error should be corrected and recanted. mr. speaker, i have had the privilege and the pleasure to meet major brooks' gruber daddy and mom.
