how did that transfer to him at the pentagon and state department?nk it's this kind of important guidance that we need. look, we're the strongest military power on the face of the earth. but we also have to be wise enough to use that military power when it's needed. and when it represents the best in what the united states is all about. and that is colin powell's legacy. he really believed that when it came to our military mission, we ought not to abuse that power. we ought not to just simply use it carelessly. he thought we ought to use it in a responsible way that represented protecting our national security interests. and that really should be the principle guide in the use of military force. what is in our national security interest? >> mr. secretary, thank you very much for being with us. really, really appreciate that. >>> up next, my personal memories of colin powell, a great american and a friend. when "andrea mitchell reports" continues. but we need to go hig.

the state department and the pentagon are now pointing fingers at each other over the administration'sit from afghanistan which we heard that chairman of the joint chiefs said it was a failure this week. that is not a biased opinion. it is exactly what was stated by the chairman of the joint chiefs and an tony blinken rejecting the discussion his department is responsible for the delay we saw in the ability for sivs and others to withdraw. >> i don't think anyone can say that we took any of the decisions that we took alone, one agency making the decision. everything we did, we did collectively as a team through a process. and every voice was heard and listened to in that process. >> martha: all right. so in terms of voices being heard. senator tom cotton is calling out secretary blinken why he didn't personally attend a meeting about the planning of the afghanistan withdrawal. if blinken is saying we all worked on this together, this is just a very straight forward question and tom cotton wrote a letter reading conspicuously you reportedly didn't attend the exercise in may or sent your

lives and my phone is just, you know, being inundated with texts of people from the pentagon, from the state department, former white house people, former central intelligence agency officials who worked with him over the years are just absolutely in shock over this. i always called him general powell and i interviewed him a couple years ago because we were preparing a documentary about former president george h.w. bush, and i was just looking back at that interview, and he was talking about the days leading up to "dez are the storm" and he said to me, "i don't like war, and if we can avoid war, we avoid war." but he wanted to make sure he had a clear understanding of what it would take and what the mission would be, and that just resonates with me, because once he had the mission, he was all in, but i remember time and time again his saying that, you know, he wanted diplomacy. he was hoping everything else would work, but that once he knew what his mission was, he was all in, and forgive me, i'm just speechless. he was as wolf just described, he was someone we really got to know over the years, his se
