paul wolfowitz joins me. welcome, sir. >> nice to be here, thank you. >> i read in a interview you didn't -- you took issue with the architect of the iraq war. why do you not accept that title? >> because i was not in charge. i was not the commander in chief or secretary of state or secretary of defense and national security advisor and more importantly, i thought at the time there was a lot of things that should have been done differently. if you think about it, if we had a counter insurgency strategy, if we had that from the beginning, i think iraq would look like a very different place today and history would look very different instead of waiting until 2007, 2008 to defeat al qaeda and iraq, they could have withibeen defeated. >> you were an advisor to jeb bush. he struggled with the knowing what we know question now, what is your answer? >> it assumes everything we know then we know now. we knowbout saddam and not part of al qaeda at th time but merged with al qaeda and the leader is there. we know that

paul wolfowitz joins me.lcome, sir. >> nice to be here, thank you. >> i read in an interview you didn't -- you took issue with the architect of the iraq war. why do you not accept that title? >> because i was not in charge. i was not the commander in chief or secretary of state or secretary of defense and national security advisor and more importantly, i thought at the time there was a lot of things that should have been done differently. if you think about it, if we had a counter insurgency strategy, like we did during the surge, if we had that from the beginning, i think iraq would look like a very different place today and history would look very different instead of waiting until 2007, 2008 to defeat al qaeda and iraq, they could have been defeated two or three years earlier. >> you were an advisor to jeb bush. he struggled with the knowing what we know question now, what is your answer? >> it assumes everything we know then we know now. we know about saddam ordering, it was not a part of al qaeda at the

i have a feeling what you said at the start of the show inspired something paul wolfowitz pushed backin the interview in the iraq war and about who's responsible for lying to get us into this war. >> lying is a very strong phrase i think it's overinterpreted what they wanted to see there. they came into office determined to get rid of saddam hussein in some fashion. no question. but 9/11 gave them the big opportunity do that. it was unclear about weapons of mass destruction. the u.n. was not certain about what weather they existed or not. i was in iraq twice before the war began. here is what really troubled me. i could be talking to shiite young people. he was a sunni, saddam. and we get together and join jihad and fight the united states. and i say i'm the united states. there's no washo, boosh, you don't come and tell us what we're going do. i go into a -- run by the shia. these are the toughest guys in baghdad. we don't want you coming in here to tell us how to run our country. so there was not a great up arising that was going to occ r occur. >> it took the democratic party argua

will talk with homeland security secretary jeh johnson and former bush deputy defense secretary paul wolfowitzat 10:30 on nbc 10. >>> just about 83 degrees outside, i think everybody is ready for football season. the eagles kick off at 1:00 this afternoon. maybe feeling excited, a little bit nervous. of course, the big question how will rookie qb carson wentz be doing on this big day. >> once that kickoff happens, once we're playing ball it's just football again. >> he says he's ready to play the game. we will hear more from wentz and the head coach as he talks about his butterflies coming up in sports. orial green-beckham. zach ertz. frank reich. zach ertz. frank reich. frank reich. pommells from csn. it is game day, the eagles kick off their season at the link against the browns and carson wentz who was supposed to watch an and will skip that watch part, wentz tweeted yesterday tomorrow can't come soon enough. here is what he had to say about playing in his debut earlier this week. >> no doubt i'm going to be excited, i'm already excited, i'm trying to just control and just focus in all week

conservative outlook and articulate, these like-minded ideologues scooter libby, paul wolfowitz, elliot abrams, cheney played an important role in the first two years. he had an office in the white house, they were all white house staff. the energy from the revisio, the tax code in 2001 and after 9/11 the presidential directive to the al qaeda members by military commissions reflected dick cheney's input. they voted himself to the domestic issues. they had run the last three and a half year years and in the cln applied to reduce the national debt. it's your money he said frequently on the trail ended urging them the largest tax cuts in history. he also pressed education reform the first year and in this case no child left behind which congress helped. they also touched foreign-policy issues but it is in the determination to assert the supremacy. the clinton administration and south korea had worked since 1994 to bring them back into the family of nations. the united states said south korea would provide assistance in return for which north korea would have banned the program. madeleine

politics, everybody from donald trump to hillary clinton, to bill clinton to donald rumsfeld, to paul wolfowitz, to trump advisor general michael flynn. boy, does he have a thing about him. he also goes on about dick cheney, but also dick cheney's daughter liz, he calls dick and liz cheney, quote, idiotings and a spent force. it's those five words that are out, idiots and a spent force. i mean, name calling that potent is fun in any context, but when it is freaking colin powell, until recently, a perennial presidential contender, he's one of most eldest and respected statesmen in recent history. calling people f'ing liars, and racist and sleazy and a disaster. yeah, that's a weird news day. >>> today also got even weirder when we had this remarkable moment in flint, michigan this afternoon. donald trump flew into flint for a photo-op as that city struggles through the lead crisis, through no fault of their own, through the actions of the state government. although they said that donald trump would be distracting city workers from their jobs, donald trump did show up anyway, and he got a tour of

administration's most important supporters of the war in iraq that was prompted by the 9/11 attacks paul wolfowitz. first there was breaking news with hillary clinton and for that and her health and for that we're going to go to my colleague kristen welker who is in new york city. so, kristen, what we do know is that she left the 9/11 ceremony episode. tell me more details. >> reporter: she left just after 9:30, you're absolutely right, chuck, a little early. the campaign saying she wasn't feeling well. let me read you the campaign's statement, it says: secretary clinton has headed to the september 11th commemoration ceremony to greet some of the families of the fallen. during the ceremony she felt overheat td to departed to go to her daughter's apartment and is feeling much her moments ago, she left chelsea clinton's apartment which is where i am right now, walked outside unassisted, we asked her how she's feeling, she said she's feeling much better. i think we have some of that video that we're playing right now. i also asked her what happened, we asked her that question multiple times, she didn

in outlook and articulate, these like-minded ideaogies and long can time friend, scooter liby, paul wolfowitz, elliott abrahams. cheney played an important role during bush's first two years. he had an office in the white house, his staff became part of the white house staff. they were all white house staff. the administration's position on energy, the revision of the tack code in 2001, and after 9/11 their presidential direct tonight too try al qaeda members by military commissions all reflected chen cheney's input. over the years his influence faded. initially bush devoted himself to the domestic issues. the united states had run a budgetary surplus under christianphone for the last three and a half years.ev clinton had applied the surplus to reducing the national debt. bush insisted the surplus money should be returned to the taxpayers, it's your money, he said frequently on the election trail. and at his urging congress elected one of the largest tax cuts in american history. he also pressed education reform that first year, and in thisishr case "no child left behind" which congress enact

supported publicly with the signature drafted by donald trump's wealth -- donald trump's felt, paul wolfowitzrow the government of saddam hussein it did not affect them that killed hundreds of thousands of iraqi he rightly blast hillary clinton to be a regime change she is as hawkish as they come blasting her with reliance for kissinger and she should be. but as journalists we have an obligation to hold anyone in power or seeking power accountable if you think his sheets are clean they are not. [applause] bernie sanders was asked from ms nbc directly if he supports the calloused and he said as it is currently being administered psi do. no as is currently being administered is played out in this book by the way is a complete team effort of all of these investigative journalist. we poured over the documents to submit a counter narrative of what is happening around the world what they show is the obama administration is relying on the list that depends on mathematical formula for determining how many civilians are killed in the drama strikes basically is guaranteed to almost always result in the
