this amazing victory at trenton. ,> 15 years before trenton washington had been involved in a pearl harbor equivalent where he attacked the french, and that led to the french indian wars. i presume there was negative reaction to this guy starting a european war. did that encourage him to do surprise attacks or kind of disappointed him from doing surprise attacks in the future him from doing surprise attacks in the future? >> he was roundly vilified. the french labeled him as an assassin, of course, for his surprise attack on a small french party. you brought up the good point. thathad to be one reason it changed washington made him resistant to fighting with ular warfared irreg and to perform like this proper, gentleman commanding officer. what is interesting about your comment and about that thought is that you can see washington coming full circle, if you will, from the early lessons that you and thenn the frontier with the crisis for america in december of 1776. he finally comes. call. comes full circle. he then relies upon a technical solution that he knows has a very good chance of su

world war ii, after we were attacked at pearl harbor, was popular until 1944 when the public began to tire of war. especially you look at korea and vietnam and so on. so the question is, how does a president rally a people who have been at war for a dozen years and convey a message to the rest of the world that the united states is prepared to engage when it sees its interests threatened or the interests of its allies. i think that is the challenge the president faces now, and i ain't his rhetoric has not been held old. >> joe biden is profiled in this week's "new yorker" magazine, and he talked, the vice president did, about you. and what you said in your book about him. we have a duel between gates and biden. have you changed your opinion of what you said in the book, that he had been on the wrong side of every major foreign-policy decision? >> no, i haven't. i think that especially applies to the cold war. there was one thing that i said in an interview that i had seen in several places about his comments after the revolution in iran.

we saw on that day, the worst attack on the united states since pearl harbor. when you lose 3000 people and the world trade center and a big hit on the pentagon, and it would've been the white house if not for the courage of the passengers, that is an act of war on the united states. it was done by 19 men who were trained in afghanistan. there is no way with today's technology and capabilities and dangers and threats out there in the world, we can afford the notion we can stay home and not get involved overseas and not have a presence militarily. from a relationship standpoint with those key parts of the world where the threats are emerging. we are in big trouble here. >> to redirect the conversation. madison, who is part of republican theory. how you make your republic succeed. them, and madison in particular, the idea of a standing army was a threat to liberty. it might be turned against the people. when he pushed the idea of building six forgets through congress -- he did sue -- john adams, when he pushed the idea building six frigates, he believed a republi
