because robert ford had a deal with the governor of missouri at the time, he could just get rid of jesse james, he could get a pardon, and the that is what happened. that is why we care about jesse james. isn't that cool? so what happens? i just killed jesse james in 1882, but that is not the only image that is going on at the time. you have jesse james, who takes the cowboy off in a criminal direction, you also have the rise of buffalo bill cody, who is really becomes a public figure in late 1860's and late 1870's. he begins to play himself as a great western hero who is colorful and fighting hard for america, although he takes nothing from the government, of course that is not true, he was a government scout, i have a really interesting story that i don't have time for but i am going to tell you anyway. he gets awarded the medal of honor for work in his scout in 1870, and it was taken away from him, along with the only other medal of honor given to a woman during the civil war, and it -- they were stripped from them during the 1920's, and both of those were returned in the 1970's and t

and when he is shot in the back in 1882 by robert ford, that dirty little coward that shot him in the back, there was a little song written by him and bruce springsteen some years ago, so he shoots him in the back, so when that happens, it becomes at this great american symbol of an individual guy who is literally hunted down and killed by his government. because robert ford had a deal with the government of missouri at the time or he could just get rid of jesse james, he could get a pardon, and the that is what happened. that is why we care about jesse james. isn't that cool? so what happens? i just killed jesse james in 1882, but that is not the only image that is going on at the time. you have jesse james, who takes the cowboy off in a criminal direction, you also have the rise of buffalo bill cody, who is -- really becomes a public figure in late 1860's and late 1870's. he begins to appear in plays about himself as a western hero, as the individual out there in the west who is colorful, and fighting hard for america although he takes nothing from the government. of course that is

it is sometimes said, recently by ambassador robert ford, to give up believing you can build a viable military force from the moderate syrian rebels we have considered supporting. >> ambassador ford has changed his views over time. he served ably in the administration and worked closely with the administration and was a proponent in terms of doing more. his perspective has changed over time. i have not had a chance to talk about why and how his views have evolved. >> are his views correct? >> we don't think so. many of our partners are involved in trying to support the opposition. there is no doubt that they are weak. they need both political strengthening and strengthening on the battlefield. it will be a long-term endeavor to build up their capacity. there are some among the opposition whose leadership credentials may not be stellar. there are others who have shown efficacy on the battlefield and a commitment to a political solution. >> they are not sufficient as ground troops to do the job. >> not yet. that is why we are hoping to build them into numbers that can change the balance

it's like the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford is a great movie about that, aboutyou feel that you are a nobody this is how you gain some kind of, i don't know, feeling about yourself and you should be punished to the hilt. >> it's a good analogy. eric, you know this is really tough for the family. everything going forward. i mean, not only did she have to go through this trial, taya but also through the trial with jesse ventura. this has been a lot for the family and the kids to take. >> quite a bit. compelling, heartbreaking to hear her at the end of the trial talk about the final moment with chris kyle. can i point something out? i think that justice was served thanks to that one investigator who sat in the room with routh and said, did you -- after you shot him you knew it was wrong correct? and he said yeah. he asked him a second time. but you knew you did something wrong, didn't you? and routh said yep, i knew what i did was wrong. >> yeah and wait till it gets out what i did. >> that was really the only burden of proof that they had to, i guess, the defense

it is sometimes said and recently by former ambassador robert ford that we should give up believing that you can build a viable military force from the moderate syrian rebels that we have considered supporting. >> well as you know, i think ambassador ford has changed his views over time. he served ably in the administration and worked closely with the syrian operation, was a big proponent in terms of arming and training and quipping the opposition. i think his perspective has changed over time. i haven't had a chance since he's left the administration to talk to him about why and how his views have evolved. >> charlie: are his views today right? >> obviously we don't think so because the administration and many of our partners in the region and beyond are involved and trying to support the moderate opposition, but this is no doubt that they are weak and they need both political strengthening and strengthening on the battlefield, and it will be a long-term endeavor to build up their capacity. indeed, there are some among the opposition whose leadership credentials may not be stellar but o
