i would bump into them and keep in contact with them, and the first contact is when i was in northern ireland in the late 1990s, and i went to see them and wrote a back about the ira, the irra heartland and during that period i got to know a guy called rupert he became a good friend and so i kept in contact with him. i imbedded with them in iraq in 2004. rupert wasn't there then but got to know a lot of welsh guardsmen, and they were out in helmand, i was back here in the states and i knew they were in a really bloody fight, and then july 1 2009, i logged on to my laptop and saw the headline that rupert was kill. a big -- for me a personal loss and obviously he was a father of two little girls and a husband and a son. and so it was a big national moment as well. first time since the falklands' war a battalion commander had been killed in war. so that was a trigger to me to get out and see what was going on. i got in touch with the regiment and soon after that it became apparent that charlie antel, who was bumped to -- to replace rupert. and charlie was a company commander in iraq. so it was h

he was unsure what the mission was so it was really what was called a northern ireland days eight -- just to go out there and be seen and reassured those local population which was nonsensical in the holman context at that point. the big ambush and what i found out which is the revelation in the epilogue to the u.s. edition i found out very recently was that he was in all likelihood the bullet that killed him. he was mortally wounded in what happened to him was he was mortally wounded. her row at gallantry medals supported from those who got them back to the base but it was groups with helicopters and he got back to the hospital they are well outside the golden hour and basically bled to death and the life support machine was turned off by his family. but the tragic postscript that i was able to find out about published in the epilogue was it was a nato round that killed him. almost certainly by welsh guardsman in the heat of battle from the base itself. one of the hardest moments in all the research and writing of this book was to break the news i had to break the news to some of th

in northern ireland, people murdered each other very recently.s is not an uncommon thing, religiously motivated violence. >> no it is not, and i think it is disingenuous. it is lame for them to claim this is the worst thing that a president has ever said. it is a true thing, it is just history. but when you are as invested in rewriting christian history, you run into people with horrible ideas that are changing what happened in lots of religious traditions. you can't privilege christianity over islam. they all have violence in them and it happens because people believe in a deity or they have other means. >> and there is a thing about having to name them that the specialness and distinctness the point to me seemed to be that throughout history, different religions at different times have different propensities that are played to. >> and i think one of the things that people are missing here, is if you play into isis hands, it's basically what they want you to do. they want you to declare a holy war. they want you to come after them. it will make

i look at years ago in northern ireland, the krit chans and catholics were fighting each other. they had their political arms that would come to the u.s. and speak in front of congress. but you'd go to any irish pub in new york or d.c. and people were passing the hats during those days. to support the militants that were fighting this war of christianity. so i mean it's a difficult process. i really believe that we continue to have to try to work the diplomatic aspects. >> i just wonder if you think that this court should have looked at the sort of militant arm separately from the political arm of hamas. when you talk about the importance of being a strategic negotiator in the region or do you think it should all be looked at as one entity? >> no, i don't. i think you have to try to find like i said last time you got to try to find some commonality. if the commonality is they have a diplomatic arm willing to talk and sit down at times, even though that negotiations can be very difficult at times, that's where we got to find the commonality. yes, they have the militant arm. that

with respect to congressman boyle on the subject of northern ireland, we are deeply engaged still. with the president's consent i appointed former senator gary hart to be engaged in those talks. he's been very active. there's $7.5 million commitment in the existing peace impact program plan. and the funding is there for 2011, and we have no reason not to be releasing it and engaging in it. we will continue to be deeply involved in that. with respect to congressman zeldon on the allowance of offensive operations the limit of authority, i thought we were talking about so this is a good opportunity for clarification. i was talking about in the context of any potential of american ground forces and the limits of the enduring language. but obviously we are engaged in offensive operations. the air power could not be more so, and we are engaged directly needless to say. and arming you know, assisting, training and assisting. now we have the overt title 10 training and assisting program. so those are offensive operations that the united states is going to be supporting one way or the other

i've served in northern ireland against the ira. i've served in kosovo, macedonia.ours in iraq and three tours in afghanistan. something that defines the nature of 21st century combat is the asymmetric threat the unconventional threat, and the threat or the enemy that we face is an enemy that doesn't wear a uniform, doesn't play by any rules, it doesn't understand what the geneva conventions are or play by them. it's not accountable to the international criminal court or their own statute. it uses very basic technology in terms of ieds and suicide bombers. that is something which is incredibly hard to be able to fight against. for me "american sniper" really harness -- if you look at the trailer and the first 100 seconds, the way that clint eastwood articulates a soldier's dilemma in combat today -- it was sobering. very sobering. that's the bit i took away. it wasn't so much about who chris kyle was. i never met chris kyle. one thing i can say about chris kyle and we should be cognizant of is chris was a highly decorated u.s. navy s.e.a.l. he fought in four combat

the british have been trying to get it out of northern ireland now since 1969. no way. the french who systemically use torture to eliminate the liberation movement against french rule. >> rose: in algeria. >> in algeria in 1957. they won the battle of algiers by torturing everyone they caught and getting all the information they had. and they incidentally had a cell structure which is very similar to what we understand al qaeda cell structure is they won the particular battle of all gears and a couple of years later the algerians rose again and the french left all gears. >> rose: then that becomes a question of what is an acceptable level of violence. >> indeed indeed. in israeli now it's not acceptable, and yet-- . >> rose: and yet because nobody can go into a restaurant without being fearful that somebody else is going to walk in there. is that what makes it-- this is unacceptable. >> but at the same time people do go to restaurants. the restaurants in tel aviv are packed because after a while this hasn't happened to us yet. we're still in a state of shock. but go to

sorts of other exaggerations that hillary clinton made about her role in brokering peace in northern irelandt she had to walk back too. bill: remember dominating headlines for days, if not weeks. you're right, she did pay a price for that. now the gop is hammering her today, asking where she is? where is hillary? and i don't know the last time she was seen in public. perhaps you do, but, there is obviously an intent here to go on the down-low. what is that strategy? >> thedown low strategy she was in canada. she took some cash for speeches up in canada. but other than that she has been not on the trail. she did not appear at her family's foundation major event in new york. her husband and daughter were there for that. she wasn't. i didn't see her there. and reality for hillary clinton is, the news of late has been very bad. the news of late has related to allegations of tact ducking by her donors using swiss bank accounts. the allegations involved about deep fratcidal accusations by people raising campaign money for her campaign. she is thinking maybe wait as longer and longer, as late as ju
