there's a great quote by napoleon, never ascribe to malice that can be easily contributed to incompetencet saying there's not stuff involved that has to be explained. and benghazi is another example. we jump to scandal long before we settle on stupidity. and they shouldn't have done certain things. i'm amazed at a situation, especially on the republican and conservative side of this, who constantly say government's incompetent. they can't do anything. but if barack obama wants to make it work badly on their behalf, th can do it really well and really effectively. >> that's a perfect transition to what kind of week we have. we saw the hole in one with saxby chambliss. we saw him out there with president obama. i want to start with you, senator snowe, on this. you are the author of the book, "fighting for common ground." you say the senate is no longer a legislative body where the key issues facing the country could be resolved. the senate as a whole simply was not doing the job granted to it under the constitution. first of all, it caused you to leave the senate. and what can we do about t

a great quote from napoleon who said that morale is to the physical as three is to one absolutely appliesday. if you have an ill-trained force not well equipped, to male is not -- morale is not likely to be high. so personnel, the first leg of the stool, if you will. the second is equipment. do they have the right stuff, the number of tanks, airplanes and stuff they're supposed to have. and the second part is does that stuff operate? is it broken down? is it stating in the motor pool because you can't get repair parts for it? both of those are important, and the maintenance and repair of all this stuff absolutely critical. >> also training. training is the easiest thing to cut because, you know, you don't buy training in big bunches, so there's no big constituency for it. but you have to be able to get people out there and do tough, realistic, demanding training. another favorite quote from army guys anyway is from irwin rommel who says the best form of welfare for troops is first class training, for this saves unnecessary casualties. so how well the forces are trained is tremendously imp
