you look at general petraeus and all the other people -- >> speaking of general petraeus, would you ever consider general petraeus as a vice presidential candidate? >> we can't because he's been so badly hurt. >> what about a general? >> he did a nice job but he had bad judgment. but she has much worse judgment than he had and she's getting away with it. it's unfair to him. by the way, i came out, they

retired general david petraeus admitted to sharing the information with his mistress. that word comes ashton carter sent to senator john mccain. carter's options had included demoting petraeus from a four-star general to a three-star. a move that would have affected his retirement salary. this decision now clears petraeus to continue to receive his full retirement benefits. as a retired four-star general.. petraeus remains liable for any wrongdoing he committed while on active duty. 3 mona plasma today the iowa caucuses begin... and one of the issues that has been in the forefront for the presidential candidates is..the trade imbalance with china. for a first hand look at exactly what that means -- matt tivers takes us to sea... aboard one of the world's largest container ships. 3 end to end... its longer than the eiffel tower. its got an 80,000 horsepower engine and weighs up to 240000 tons...and yet thanks to the magic of buoyancy...the container ship benjamin franklin... floats. it's leaving china soon and will head to los angelesa& it's the largest ship that has ri

now the other thing, benghazi was a cia operation run by general petraeus. the mrn people need to hear what that adulterer has to say. >> we asked petraeus what he was doing, the ambassador wasn't at that. the question is how and what should they have done differently. it's the case that we have not been able to secure the case that we have needed to. the proper outcome would be that he would be a death sentence. for having put friends of mine, friends of yours who serve in the military today at enormous risk because of the information he stole and released to foreign powers. but i can't let that go without saying, i can assure you, that information was a lot more secure in the hands of the secure system rather than on a private server of hillary clinton. it's not a close call. there's a reason we have it set up that way. they transfer information in a secure system to a nonsecure system is almost impossible. there's no connectivity between those two systems. someone chose to take them from one place, the place where the classified information was created an

ask general petraeus, you recently talked with.nd was very straightforward and said, look, we basically paid the tribal sheiks, and now we continue to do that across the border and in syria, to pull together a fighting force. it worked. it worked in part because of repulsion against the predecessor, al qaeda in iraq, the treatment of everybody at their hands. that also works because they were promised that they would have the autonomy and authority to make a lot of decisions within iraq, on their own behalf. unfortunately, maliki and his views towards sectarianism slowly but surely undermined all of that. now you've got the sunni sheiks and fighters on the sidelines, or even worse, some of them making common cause with isis. charlie: which raises an interesting question, did we lose influence in the baghdad government? would it have made a difference in the behavior so the sunnis would not be so turned off by baghdad? hillary clinton: i certainly thought we should keep troops there. i advocated for that. the real problem was maliki

you look at general petraeus and all the other people -- >> speaking of general petraeus, would you ever consider general petraeus as a vice presidential candidate? >> we can't because he's been so badly hurt. >> what about a general? >> he did a nice job but he had bad judgment. but she has much worse judgment than he had and she's getting away with it. it's unfair to him. by the way, i came out, they wanted to take away further rank and i was for the last month and a half, i was saying leave general petraeus alone, he's suffered enough. i said go get isis, don't get general pa ray us. >> you said you're going to build a beautiful wall and mexico is going to pay for it. you never say how. you say believe me they are. believe me is not an answer. >> believe me. >> how? >> can i tell you -- you have to stop and i'll tell you. $58 billion. the wall is going to cost a fraction of that, maybe 10 or $12 billion. it's going to be a real wall, a high wall, a beautiful wall. >> how do you get mexico to pay for it? >> very simple. five different ways. here's the key. they are making if you look a

i've seen that. >> i would like to quote here from what general petraeus wrote. at present, u.s.and nato air power in afghanistan is used only to, one attack validated al qaeda targets. two, to counter terrific individuals or groups who habitat coalition forces previously and three, to respond directly to attacks on coalition forces. according to leaders on the ground, u.s. and nato forces are otherwise not allowed to attack taliban targets. >> general petraeus goes on to cite that there are 400 sorties which is a fall of two-thirds since 2014 and a fall more than 2,000 sorties since 2010. do you agree with his advice that it is time to unleash american air power in afghanistan and if so, what would that look like? >> thanks for that question, senator. of course, president ghani has asked for help in bridging the cash gap. as you know, senator, we have a long-range plan, but the challenges right now, we have a shortfall, in afghan air power and they're the principle force combatting the taliban and we focus on force protection and ct and hence the gap. wye want i want to explain

i tell you what general petraeus told me this morning, the best way of to get information be a friendevelop relationship over time. that is what works. andrea: do you grief administration officials in the bush administration, former attorney general, do you believe they are lying? >> no, i believe they are in violation of the law. they're in violation of the geneva conventions and i believe that they're lying when they said they got useful information. in fact i know they're lying when they are saying that they didn't. they got a whole lot of information that was totally false, because when you torture somebody -- but major thing is, do we want to resort to doing things that our enemies do? do we want to be on the same plain as those people chopping off heads? andrea: i have to stay on this because it was a huge point, senator. you hear officials coming out in the bush administration, former attorney general michael mukasey specifically citing examples how it work. do you believe michael mukasey is liar. >> yes. i know he is. the point is whether he is a liar or not. the point is even

quote, my operative on the petraeus scandal that it became a surprise that failed, forcing it public would have been the trifecta. leaks, benghazi, then petraeus, allowing romney to argue that obama had created a national security collapse. clinton responded by forwarding it to one of her top aides, jake sullivan. keep in mind, the fbi is still investigating clinton's use of this private e-mail server while secretary of state, but clinton was never once asked about that criminal investigation during thursday night's debate on pbs. the last time, though, that clinton was asked about it during a debate, she appeared more confident than ever. liste listen. >> i have absolutely no concerns about it whatsoever. i am 100% confident. this is a security review that was requested. it is being carried out, it will be resolved >> none of the e-mails released today contain top-secret information, but the last release at the end of january contained 22 top-secret e-mails that were deemed too damaging to national security to be released. so, elizabeth, there's still a lot more information to go th

david petraeus -- "our nation has paid a high price in recent decades for the information gained by the use of techniques beyond those in the field manual, and in my view, that price far outweighed the value of the information gained through the use of techniques beyond those in the manual. and obviously that includes waterboarding. why don't we listen to people like general david petraeus who has had vast experience in iraq and afghanistan with detainees and the information we have gotten from them and our practices. and if general petraeus were here, he would tell you that the most effective method of gaining information is establishing a friendly relationship with the detainee. obviously we need intelligence to defeat our enemies, but we need reliable intelligence. torture produces more misleading information than actionable intelligence. and that -- and what the advocates of harsh and cruel interrogation methods have never established is that we couldn't have gathered as good or more reliable intelligence from using humane methods. most importantly, we got in the search for bin

general petraeus was already fighting in iraq. so his wife accepted a plaque from the holocaust museum. 3 times today i have talked to soldiers and soldiers children. host: both manny and henry tell the story. it is very important that they tell it, at the holocaust museum. we are honored they came here today to tell all of you new leaders and veterans the importance of it. i want to open this question. -- this to questions. did you have families here? in america? mr. greenbaum: my sister immigrated in 1937. when i was liberated, i did not know where she was. the soldiers were kind to us, they would give you their shirt off their backs. sometimes we did not want anything from them, we were full of life and the liberation. we did not want that. my brother.ed he had made it back to poland. i was liberated and wound up in a displaced persons camp. my brother came and said we have a sister in america. he said she's in washington. so i said, he is closer. but the soldiers could not help me. when we told him about washington, we got a l

that is what general petraeus have faced holding on to evidence. >> i don't think the white house willsending hillary clinton in regard to the e-mails and her conduct. if the fbi and justice department believe a crime is committed it will be referred and there's a likelihood she will be indicted. if those conditions prevail that will happen and you might have vice president biden or elizabeth warren or someone else heading up the democratic ticket. >> shawn, i -- she will be indicted by the j t justice department. >> if it does happen -- who are the candidates? >> if it does happen the campaign will end if she is indicted. i think it is a big if. >> i think he is he is be actually right. he is waiting in the wings and want to run biden and elizabeth warren is the likely ticket they would get. he is going to win new hampshire. this is a muddled race making it more cloudy and complicated. >> we will have more evidence at this point. i don't think there's a business sis pi point she will be indicted. if the evidence is there i believe the fbi will act in a responsible way. >> i don't thin

guest: i have -- caller: i have a question about general petraeus? host: why do you ask that question? caller: i have been reading that he is the one in charge over there. host: he has been gone for quite a while. , i'm: general petraeus sure his advice is sought in the military or the white house because he has been such a long time in iraq and he travels to the region frequently. for anow, he is working financial company in new york city and that is his principal -- that is what consumes his daily life. he is not running the middle east. here in our political season, several solutions to terrorism, to isis, have been proposed. can we carpet bomb isis out of existence? guest: no. isis is embedded into mosul, the second-largest city in iraq. they are also in a fairly sizable city in syria. isis is not running around in toe big convoy amenable being bombed from overhead. they are careful about their movements. the bombing campaign has been going on from us two years against them. carpet bombing is not going to work. tanning muslim immigration is not g

last year, petraeus admitted to giving his biographer and lover, paula broadwell, notebooks containing highly classified information. he intially lied about it to the fbi. pentagon leaders letter to the leaders of the senate armed services committee, saying the matter was closed after an army review. talks of demotion and a reduction of his pension were considered, but lawmakers on both sides came to the general's defense, saying he'd already paid for what he did. one person was killed and seven others were hurt at a motorcycle expo in denver on saturday. shots were fired around 1 p-m at the national western complex, where the colorado motorcycle expo was being held this weekend. others were hurt in injuries from a stabbing and a fistfight. six people were taken to the hospital. police couldn't say whether the incident was gang-related, but no arrests have been made. u-k based charity "ox-fam" says international donors failed to deliver the funds they promised to help with the ebola epidemic. that outbreak killed more than 11- thousand people, mostly in western africa. the group estima

look at general david petraeus.e defense department really vind iktively trying to strip him of one or two stars. shameful. >> i agree. >> by any measure what he did is a fraction of what it appears hillary did and the legal jeopardy is significant. there are a lot of reports about the fbi being unhappy about a potential political cover-up at the justice department. and then politically, listen. you know, for hillary to essentially tie in i with and it looks like the reports show that she's going to be walloped in new hampshire -- >> yep. >> that's got a lot of democrats concerned. i'm most interested to be honest, i don't care if it's hillary or bernie. they're both out of touch, have the same left-wing socialist policies and neither one says radical islam terrorism. both running to be the third term of obama. i do think the point about the iowa turnout is a reason for great encouragement. you know, historically, the democratic turnout in iowa in the caucuses is vastly exceeded the republican turnout. this year, fo

petraeus's dire forecast as secretary of state john kerry touts progress in syria, with peace talks inh. world powers agreeing on temporary cessation of hostilities, but kerry says more work needs to be done to reach a lasting cease-fire. want to go to you first on this, peter. this is not groundbreaking news in the military community, the revelation of chemical weapons. this was reported by socom two years ago. first time someone so publicly in the administration concede this is very, very real threat. >> when i see mr. brennan and mr. kerry walking down those stairs i kind of get the willies, i get the shakes. i bet nauseated. boy, we have a real problem here now. because they are usually wrong. i hope they're wrong on this. but the notion that there's, mustard weapons and other types of weapons to import and exportn syria and middle east. but in the hands of isis or isil or whatever you calling them today, that's really disturbing. it is something that we need to take really seriously. what are we doing about it? we know that the russians are eating our lunch in syria and there's no

casey said prosecuting on the petraeus case, a clear difference and that was he knowingly intended to provide confidential or classified information to somebody else with without that clearance. he pled guilty. he knowingly gave it. that is not the case with mrs. clinton. it is far different. was there -- what they're debating over right now is, you know, a classification between some of the intelligence officers and a fight of the state department. when was certain items deemed classified or not classified but to her point, nothing received was classified at the time and i think to geraldo's point, that goes to -- >> that's the talking point. >> not prosecuted. >> but, penny lee, as everybody in the security arena knows, there's e-mails, information that is born classified and we know specific access programs and top secret and apparently satellite images of north korea's nuclear site any intelligent person recognizes that as something to be protected and not on a private serve. now, i'm not the judge and jury here. when's interesting is you have the obama appointed inspector general

so, we had a good laugh and went on to other things, but to some degree, ryan, dave petraeus, george w. bush, and most importantly, the iraqi people saved iraq in that period. and every day when you look around the rest of the middle east, iraq is actually looking a bit better, compared to -- it's got a constitutional system, it has a democracy, it actually votes. people who don't do well are driven out as prime minister. that's happened repeatedly. and it's managed to stem this tide of isis. but something has changed totally apart from the united states. leave that for another discussion. something has changed in the world since that period of time. for three decades -- this is walter russell mead more than jim jeffrey, but it's worth thinking about -- for almost three decades after 1987-'89, we didn't face really existential, major global or even major regional challenges. so, we dealt with each problem, be it not korean nukes or taiwan incursions or afghanistan, the plan colombia or iraq as a problem we would beaver away at within a generally positive world. things have been shift

david petraeus said and i will say again, you don't make peace with your friends.we talked to lot of very bad actors to see if we could shift them and we did this in conjunction with the iraqis, and frankly to mess with their minds and we would tell them coming out of the colts. ahmed mohammed did down the way. you should be like him and that son of a bitch and if we were lucky he would go and kill muhammed and that is the trouble. -- save us the trouble. it is a rough game out there. at the end of the day there are certain number of people, the irreconcilables, but what you have to do is to know your landscape well enough that you are killing the absolute minimum number of people and not creating a whole new set of enemies and frankly you can only do that if you are deeply engaged on the ground where people like taking it seriously, your allies and adversaries, that is not the case in iraq. >> ambassador and jeffrey, given where we are we don't have a troop levels, back in 2007, the iraqi government does not have -- obviously does not have political capacity to re

and petraeus, general petraeus has said, he calls it a chernobyl that is radiating throughout the world. and the key decision there was to stay out of syria, do nothing, number one. number two, to withdraw from iraq totally. and that became the incubator of islamic state. and i think we see the consequences radiating out. maybe secretary of state kerry can pull off a miracle in syria in the next year. but i think that he -- this president is handing in the middle east, the next president a real problem in the middle east. >> but -- >> having received one, it must be said. >> well, but is the middle east better now than it was in 2009? that's the key question. >> and was it better in 2009 than 2001? >> yeah. >> no. >> it's tough territory. there is no question. but the issue is i don't think these were strategic decisions, and maybe part of the problem was it wasn't thought enough about in those terms. i think they came -- as people particularly you pointed out, you know, there is an internal drive. obama's in charge, and he does not like war. he hates war. and he wants to avoid war. >>
